What is your mother, a communist? I'll bet she doesn't like hot dogs,
either, right? Very suspicious...

I loved football until they went on strike. I lost interest after
that. (Well, that and the Chargers always losing.)

Football? You mean, 300-pound mutants trying to break each others' knees
while trying to stay out of prison? Oh, there's a great sport. g


Say, Ed. Can you 'splain the price these SnapOn body tools are

How does the price compare with the cost of new?
