Re: i try to get out but you keep pulling me in....

[MIKE BLAIN <reptileis@home.com>]

I always liked the excuse -   "Retired, heavyweight, Maui Tai boxer"   pretty
much explains it all and usually people don't know if your serious or not  ;^)

Now of course folks are curious as to why- but curiosity to the point of
rudeness sucks.  If someone just has to know ( maybe they are just that bored)
they should say -  "Hey Jonas-  could I ask you a personal question?"
to which you can either say - "Phuck off!"  or    "Retired, professional, Heavy
weight- maui tai boxer".

If your in the mood to get a reaction try the following:
"Navy seals, vietnam- in charge of testing the Agent Orange."

Or "VW crash test dummy-( you could learn a lot from a dummy)".

Or state what I always do when I have to write something by hand " sloppy
handwriting(typing) is a symptom of heightened intellect- were just to
preoccupied with our thoughts to take the time to print it neat and legible"


:^)
