A few women, and even fewer castles are worth doing battle over.

Too expensive, no warranty offered, and only low quality replacement

traded it in for another model. China turns out better junk.

Run her through the Xerox machine, of course!


Can't very well put a cocktail waitress in the file cabinet,
nicht wahr?

(And wouldn't that make an interesting episode of "And that's how

Or 'CSI', 'Cold Case' 'Cheers' and any number of other shows. ;-)

Comic Strip "Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet". One of the
senior managers is going through some files, and asks her "Is this
what I think it is?"
A photocopy of a cocktail napkin?
"Yeah, is that really Bill's signature?"
Yep. I won it at a poker game.
"I wondered were our cash flow was coming from...."

I had a copy in my TBR, and have read ~ the first 20%. He is still
playing with the bow & arrows.
