Isn't that one of the rules about things you CAN'T wish for (yes I am taking advice from Aladdin).

Apparently Hick is my new nickname... not sure to be delighted or annoyed (just kidding!). I like the non-sense poetry forms every once in a while!

He got off easy Tim, it could have been, "Welcome the the DMZ". which to be honest was what I was expecting hmmmmm, trust me. Take care, Richard

Not sure what the Z stands for... but if you say it's worse than the DMV it must be pretty horrible!
