hmmm...

Hey guys, we need to rethink this.
We're about eight inches short
and I'm not flexible enough to contort
and steal that chunk of Swiss.

Thanks, Gina. I needed a little levity, and I'm glad it brought a moment of it to many of my friends.

First off, the title caught my attention immediately. Smart move. By the way, hello, Lin Lane. How are you? The fun in this, though. Thank you for spreading joy.

Hello to you, Jesz Ika. Quite a unique name and spelling. Better to spread joy than give reason for sorrow. Thank you for commenting.

Lin, I got the same picture in my head as Mark.......Tom Cruise...the situation was probably cause by the conflict between Metric and all those other tiny lines....

I've never been a Cruise fan. ;-) Thanks for lots of things, John.

Hmmm, more to this one than meets the eye Lin, the situation was certainly not well thought out, and came up short of the mark, you set a nice endearing trap here, SLAM! cheers David

I think he needed to spring the trap with a 10 inch spear, then grab that chunk with it and get pulled back up. That might've worked. Thanks, David.
