Neville

I once knew a lawyer named Neville
Who never was on the level
He had a great itch
To become very rich
So he sold his soul to the devil

Vince, I could see this outline on Alfred Hitcock Presents. Now we're showing our age, eh? Who cares! Ah, some of those old shows would humiliate the networks today if they were on. Thanks as always and I hope that you are doing okay, with your boy and all. Regards from Gerard.

As they all do! This is a good one! I had a break in service Vince, ended up serving 24 years. Trust me, the C-rations are preferrable to the MRE's. (We called then meals, rarely eaten.) Last I heard, they stopped providing cigarretes.

I've heard that lawyers are crooks and leeches that make money off of people's pain. I've heard this even from lawyers. I believe that they are only good when they are working for you and not sitting on their behinds just collecting your money. Enjoyed your insight! Love, Susan
