Makes the game seem not worth the candle.
I got that way with CB after 20-odd years as an operator. That, and too
many LIDs with dildos for brains.

Indeed!  They have no friends, play no favourites, and take no prisoners.

OOOH-OW! Closer than I ever want to come to schizophrenia!

Luckily it wasn't a chainsaw that bit me, it was a simple bench saw - but
it was bad enough even so.  I have seen photos of some horrendous chainsaw

On another subject, I had a carotid ultrasound scan a couple of days ago. 
The results were not amusing - 50+% occlusion on the port side.  Urk!

        Nicolaas
