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!

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!

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!
