Yeah, I entered it in the epigram contest that went up a day or so ago.

Well said, but reminds me of a "Pearls Before Swine" strip earlier this week where RAT tells PIG to give him a rough estimate, so PIG beats the crap out of RAT whilst giving him the estimate . . . .Aloha!

Oh so clever, Milt, it always cost me more.

Seems to be universal, harry. If they give me a price for any kind of work around my house, I add a couple of hundred to it...just in case....ha!

Always costs more, bacon is ridiculous!

Hey, Jeff, you shouldn't be eating bacon anyway!!! That's the food doctors won't eat. Okay, okay, I'll get off my soapbox!
