Jodi---That is a great line but I believe it is from W. C. Fields

I think David's reponse showed his class...
To what I think (and think some will agree!) is a totally assinine thread..

but I keep coming back to that Tourette's line that you wrote up above and I CANNOT stop from laughing out loud every time.
That was sheer brilliance.

Now I keep hearing differnt movie characters/public figures reading it, and I can't decide who is funnier: -Austin Powers, Jabba the Hut, Pres. Bush, Darth Vader, or the Cowardly Lion.
yes, it's crowded inside my head.

Jay- a woman accused Fields of being drunk, upon which he said:

But madam, you're crazy. And I'll be sober in the morning, but you'll still be crazy (slight papraphrase).

Edited to say (clever, clever ) David R's messages are always of great interest to me and my knowledge in this filed.

Another Fieldsian gem on drinking:

I was in love with a beautiful blonde once; she drove me to drink...it's the one thing I am indebted to her for.

... which means I don't take it too serious.

You might want to edit that to read "take it too seriously."

This World Is Full of charactors. "All the World Is a Stage". I do think that David's editing comes from being an intellect. ( intellect The power or faculty of the mind by which one knows or understands, as distinguished from that by which one feels and that by which one wills; the understanding; the faculty of thinking and acquiring knowledge.)

He cares about what he says, All the Time! His website has been referred to by me numerous times and I have even ask'd him privately for his expertise a few times! He has always been quick to respond.

"Thank You David"

David has become a very dear friend of my Card/Photo Hobby...
And I have never even had the pleasure of meeting him. I do hope that some day our paths will cross!

So "Edit On" David Rudd Cycleback.....
You've Earned it!!! (IMHO )

Life Is Always Grand,

"charactors"?

"ask'd"?

Looks like you need a little Cyclebackian assistance!

Maybe he suffers from OCD, and if enough edits aren't made bad things will happen.

Denny,

Believe me, I share your pain. I'm Canadian, and have had to get used to excluding the letter "u" in words such as "behaviour", etc.
