9. LOL
I got out of the Keith habit -- I'll have to make a point of dropping by soon. I think it's the working at home-- after 5, I'm really ready to get out of the house and be with people. :D What's the news from the KOEB?

7. Try this...
Parche is giving LynneSin her daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" LynneSin exclaims. "That's terrible!"

Her staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as LynneSin sits, head in hands.

Finally, LynneSin looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:evilgrin:
