Have a nice time!

Peter, you missed the opportunity to suggest the USFbA resolve it.

Quite unlike you, particularly since you were the one to tell us about the USFbA.

I think that since Peter brought the US Ping Pong Veteran committe in, that he meant a 15 point PING PONG bout....

But ping-pong bouts go to 11 points (must win by 2).

Television and print ads also help a great deal.
Joe, you got a wicked sense of reality there. What'ya think the powers that be would do if I got a nice patch monogrammed with "Powered by Viagra" on it for my oft hand sleeve. How far do you think I would get??
