Alright Ed, next time someone offers you a raise, shoot for 3%,
cos that's better than 9...:-)

If they offer me 3% of $34,000, versus 9% of $4,000, as with the US versus
China, I certainly will take the 3% of $34,000. It's an old mathematician's
trick. d8-)


I took the 9% of $4,000 and I'm happy. If you'd been here the other
night you'd know there are things you just can't buy. Freedom, for
one.

Are you referring to freedom in the People's Republic? If
so, you are one confused fellow.

Human relationships, for another.

We have human relationship in the U.S. Why would you think
we don't?
