Gershon, you did an outstanding job with Limerick. I'm assuming that the tax collector resigned freely. Haha...

If the tax collector did not resign freely, Lasaad, then I imagine his head will be on 'the chopping block.' ~ The Executioner

(still laughing!) Good one, gw. I suppose the tax collector backed off on that one... hopefully not on the edge!

I sure hope the tax collector backed off, Milt. If not, he's on the edge... the 'razor's edge!' ~ Gershon
