When the well is dry you must walk to the river, though the road is long. Would you rather wait, thirsting, hoping it will come to you? |

Well, I did say it was insincere! Doof -- great word, yep -- and like so many of our tastiest words, it's a pick-up from German slang....officially means "deaf" but in use it means goofy, lame-brain....etc ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Of course. LOL But then... I'm always lazy and can always excuse dumb actions or inactions on my hair color. LOL This is fantastic, my friend... and I'm glad your apologies were insincere... since this pun-induced grin is greatly appreciated. *G* "Tank"s-a lot! |
