Not at all, we're not that kind of people.

Mind you, we have been known to have a _little_ fun now and then, 
so if it's not too much trouble, would you please supply -

The name and address of your college English professor
The name, address, and phone number of your parents
The phone number for the local "Rent A Clown" service

Thanks in advance, and really, don't worry so much.

Bill

Duh - homonym.

Agenda
1) Get out of bed at a REASONABLE time - like 3PM
2) Perform morning ablutions.
3) Make sure brain is functional.
4) THEN get online.

I skipped step three.
{+_+}    This will haunt me forever, right?
