Good one. See that is what I am talking about. Good display of a sense
of humor. You can insult someone without the name calling and make them
laugh at the same time. I got a good laugh out of that response, Mr.
Smith.
I think a lot of you libs would do better in life if you would stop and
enjoy it once in awhile. Part of that enjoyment would be laughter. Have
a
good day sir. Ia m going to have a better day because it started with a
laugh.
