Very astute observation. Many gentlemen here have commented on my tendency to be a tad verbose at times, and they are right. When I was about 16, a distant family relative suggested I go to college and then on to law school and after passing the bar exams, "hang out my shingle"- Not that I was smart, but loquacious. I am, and always have been, an avid reader, I am fairly fluent in two other languages, and am studying Italian with the Rosetta stone program.

I am observant, and try to remember my Grandfather's advice about keeping your mind sharp, just as a carpenter would a chisel or plane. I have excellent hand-to-eye co-ordination and like my late Grandfather and Father, enjoy working with my hands, whether using a chain saw to trim trees or a Brown & Sharpe micrometer to gauge a piece of steel--

But as I view lawyers, even the infamous Philly variety, with the same disdain I have for politicians and child molesters, there is no way in Hell I would ever wish to be a lawyer!

Tell you what, Mr. Murphy- out of respect for the Ladies, let's leave the distaff side out of what you trying to provoke with me here. It won't work, I am a fast learner, and I am not going to be baited into being banned here by your untoward verbiage. I will say, however, that your words about the late Mr. Austin Hogan were indeed, well said. Let's both quit this potential "pissin contest" and not further sully the DoubleGunShoppe BBS- Y quizas, requerdo bien aqui esta palabras de Don Cervantes: "No arrenas en el agua alreadedor, porque usted habe de bebero lo en otra dia!""
