Kind like Al Jaffee's Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.<br /><br />So I use the word "Just" as an insult to others, because I certainly don't see it as an insult to me.G. B.

Oops....<br /><br />heartinhand<br />I truly will make a concentrated effort to lessen the use of that word. It really is not necessary. Neither is "truly" or "really".<br /><br />Tabor<br />I remember when Roseanne Barr said a lot of funny things. She definitely could speak up. Perhaps I could re-train some restaurant hostesses.
