    New Hampshire; A state where there is only three seasons and not four.
    Early winter, deep winter, and late winter. Where presidential hopefuls
    give us hope of prosperity around the corner, that usually follows with
    more disparity. And the phone rings nightly looking for your support
    that is soon forgotten when they make it to Pennsulvania Ave. 
653.8Not sure about 'Pennsulvania', but ...MOLAR::DELBALSOI (spade) my (dogface)Fri Feb 16 1996 14:532

    Okay George... real slow...
    
    Your reply was coherent (almost) without nary a spelling error.
    
    Since your track record obviously showed otherwise, he presumed it was
    someone other than you writing...
    
     It was a joke, son... ah say... a joke!!

    Because there were only:
    
    1 spelling error (Pennsulvania)
    2 punctuation errors (semi-colon rather than colon and an excess comma)
    and
    4 grammatical errors (is rather than are and 3 fragments).
    
    I gave you the benefit of the doubt with the word "disparity".

    Is that the back of my back, or the front of my back?
    
653.19me first!BSS::PROCTOR_RI moussed my weasel!Fri Feb 16 1996 17:393
    >> .1   Did it have a picture of my ex next to it.?
    
    nope. mine.
653.20POLAR::RICHARDSONI sawer thatFri Feb 16 1996 17:392
    That's the neat thing about a back, even if you have it removed, it's
    still there.
653.21POWDML::HANGGELILittle Chamber of The Counter KingFri Feb 16 1996 17:434
    
    What about a front?
    
    
653.22POLAR::RICHARDSONI sawer thatFri Feb 16 1996 17:497
    It's not the same. For example, you _never_ hear of anyone complaining
    about front problems. Nobody ever says "My front is killing me" or
    "Ooooh my aching front" or "Joe Putz is on LTD because of a front
    operation" or "He fell and broke his front".

    See?

653.23POWDML::HANGGELILittle Chamber of The Counter KingFri Feb 16 1996 17:518
    
    Well, no, but you'd look pretty darn silly without a front.  I mean,
    you'd still _have_ a front, but if your real front was gone, euuu,
    you'd look pretty ucky.
    
    Without a back, well, you just lean against the wall a lot when talking
    to people, and they'll never notice.
    
653.24POLAR::RICHARDSONI sawer thatFri Feb 16 1996 17:541
    So, you're agreeing with me then.
653.25POWDML::HANGGELILittle Chamber of The Counter KingFri Feb 16 1996 17:563
    
    Ummm....you know, I'm really not sure what I'm doing.
