Pull it down, Suck it in, Turn it around, Tuck it in. I have the 'spare tire' blues. Can Ralph relate? If you '"Watch your weight" will it disappear? I have been staring at mine for hours and it's still there. Funny poem, Gershon. I'm glad to have found it, made me smile.

Well, "Jelly Roll, Gum Drop:" I'd rather be 'Gum-drop Gershon' than Jelly Roll Morton!

Heh, heh. You can pick your friends. And you can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friend's nose. ~ Sanitary Sam
