That's odd.

 BF> Does a good whiskey cost $65 in USA?

I don't know.  I'm not a whiskey drinker, so I haven't priced that item. 
I'd be inclined to doubt the price is that high, unless the whiskey is very
old.  The more any liquors are aged, the more expensive they are.

 BF> No. They do what is best for them.

Huh?  I don't understand.

We have some like that, too.

I wouldn't limit that to Germans.

Are they all like that?

YOu wouldn't make a good diplomat, then, and come to think of it, neither would I.

If that's true, I was close, then.  But one would think that O'Hooligan
would be Irish.  I don't know any Scotsmen whos name begins with
"O'".

 BF> I just did.

I know enough to get me into trouble.  (-:

 BF> He has told us some and it wasn't nice.

I had a son in combat and I never asked him any particulars, having already
imagined what he must have gone through.

I received a visit from the Jehovah's Witnesses yesterday.  It was short and sweet.
