CH>  It is true. My grandfather and his two brothers made a big deal out
 CH> of celebrating their birthdays together every year. The youngest
 CH> brother (not one of the three with same birth date) is still alive btw.
 CH> He's 99 now and still driving! You know I could get in touch with him
 CH> and get the scoop on this for ya. :)

 JB> I was just getting a rise outa ya. Good for him! Good genes, eh?

 Some of the genes were good and some were not so good. Sicilian genes
are like that but then most are. Anywhere.

 CH>  Oh alright thanks. I've never been able to make things up. MY
 CH> conscience bothers me too much. Anyway I did write to a cousin
 CH> (actually first cousin to my dad so that makes me a cousin once
 CH> removed)- about this and if he could give me any interesting stories
 CH> behind it to share.

 JB> And then you have to remember what you said to who, and if the spouse

Well people who make a career out of lying have a fascinating way of
covering up their oops. If you catch them in a lie and confront them
with it they'll call you a liar and tell everybody about it. So best
to stay mum! That's how that works. That's how they survive so long.
Liars do. Centuries even.

 CH> wrt december 25th b'day.

 JB> Now... Don't go telling me there was a super-nova that night, and a
 JB> few really smart dudes dropped in for the event, burdened by MUCH too
 JB> much
 JB> perfume, incense, and Deblumes that they just *couldn't* take it back
 JB> with them on their steeds.

 CH>   hehe...  nope. I always feel sorry for my BIL so I send him a very
 CH> funny fun Birthday card and add to it "at least YOUR birthday is
 CH> verifiable! :) ...

 JB> Seeing as we had one transgression, I bought dad a card, where the
 JB>  office worker has stamped every flat surface with, f-it. Every wall,
 JB>  the clock... Inside it tells him. "Twenty-Eight, eh? F-that too!"

 JB> I hope I'm not offending anyone, but you'd have to know my dad to find
 JB>  it especially funny.


 He was 28 when you bought him that card? :) No worries  I've seen
cards that made me laugh but might seem offensive to others. We got my
hubbies dad a father's day card last year he relly did get a kick out
of. This due to the fact he's hd to clean the septic tank ..etc. (to
his experience with it)... it had a guy in a gas mask on the front
with something about farts.. I forget what it said but it was a hoot!

 CH> ... Stoned people shouldn't throw glass in houses.

 JB>  That tag is SOOO yanked!

 You know I was thinking about that expression where one says
"...that is SOOOOOOOOOOOO..... *(something) like yanked or what is the
other verb or whatever it is more often used? As in "you are soooo  "
taken. Or some other word like that. :)

I like that tag line too. And the one : People who live in stone
houses should'nt throw glasses. (Yes the orig is the glass house/throw
stones).

 JB> egg is your brain on drugs. Moral: Don't smoke eggs!


 LOL! :) Good one! Love it. Taken! So! (Had to shorten it tho.)
