I don't know about that. I'm probably one of the few people on here that have gotten an Admin warning for insulting themselves. When Rhoni shows up, she'll be able to give a name to my condition, and it won't be short.

I expect it'll be in Latin and have a lot of syllables.

Speaking of Latin: I went into the local Bible bookstore yesterday and told the lady there that I wanted a Bible, and not one of those new modern versions, I wanted a real Bible, a copy of the Latin Vulgate. She looked a little surprised, but not as surprised as you might think, I've been to her store in the past.

I remember a statement a fellow made way back on FCF regarding the difference between American and Canadian preachers.

You might recall it too.

Yup.

Canadian preachers are known for the size of their libraries.

American preachers for the size of their cars.

That was before I was seduced by a Chrysler Concorde.

How do your doors fit on your Concorde?

My claim to fame on that car lies in the fact that I was the Project Engineer for the door fab lines for the 1998 Intrepid/Concord.

If the door is gapped inappropriately, it must have happened in assembly!

I have a teenage driver in my house.

If anything is gapped inappropriately, it probably got that way post assembly.
