Yup, they've always been using theuir paid for politicians to maximize profit,  like when they got Viagra approved, they gave the Sens on the FDA approva;s  committee heads-up; every one invested $50M or more in Pfizer then approved it 
-- 2 days later, they sold their stock for 500% profit or more!

Insider Trading, you'd think -- but the Insider Trading las explicityly exempts them! (but of COURSE!)

Okay, Thomas! *G*

I've nbeen cutting my food intake drastically, as I know how rthe math works;  if calories in < calories out, then I get fat. I cannot exercise, as I'm half  paralyzed, so I need to make up for it by being extra brutal on the inputs.

No kidding -- I can do most of the letters, but not the super hard ones.

I'd put a paper grocery bag over my head & hod a puppet that also has a  (smaller) papewer bag over his head.  Nobody can accuse me of their seeing my  lips move!

I'd love to be in the room & see  his reaction!

Nina's a hoot!

For the life of me, I could not get the sweet tea dispenser to work during my  lunch.
I was having some difficultea.

Did you hear about the little native American boy who drank a gallon of sweet  tea before bed?
They found him the next morning, drowned in his own teepee.

I showed up over dressed to a family member's party and my aunt spilled sweet  tea all over my dress shirt. She solved my clothing problem Aunt Jay: I'm so sorry I ruined your nice shirt! Me: You didn't ruin it, you turned it into a tea-shirt for me!

Any time my brother or I order Sweet Tea at a restaurant, my dad says "Did you  just call the waitress Sweetie?"
