As I said, it WAS A JOKE.


Hey, John, after wisecracking about the people you "pity" and huffing around
about how you take advantage of opportunities while others don't, it might
be a good idea to fly a joke flag from your mast or something.

At least use an emoticon. They can be very helpful. For example:

d8-0 That means the Yankees are playing the Tigers and Soriano just walked.
Man on first.

d8-) Johnson hit one up the middle and moved Soriano to third. Runners on
the corners.

d:-) Jeeter just sac'd Johnson over to second. I've taken my reading glasses
off to get a better look.

:-)) Posada just hit a two-RBI single; Soriano and Jeeter home. No outs yet.
I've tossed my Yankees hat and my double chin is showing.

d:-Q Yanks are up 2-0. Recovered hat. Time for a smoke.

Get the idea? It's a very useful language. g
