I want to apologize if my having a little fun offended anyone.

No offense taken here Bob,
The only one that I can think who may have been offended is shooting with blanks anyway.[}][8D][]

Sum is eleven, with no three, five, or seven.....
'course, if you subtract a point for each noteworthy act of idiocy I've engaged in, I'm likely below a 70.......

I'll show you mine if you show me yours [][][] (yes, qualified, no, not a member. Always was a point of contention between my brother and I....he got me by 3 points!)

As this happened almost one half century ago, I will confess my MENSA experience.

After discovering I had a very high IQ number I thought the Mensa organization might enjoy my intellectual talents. I looked up the next testing session at Univ of Chicago.

I arrived at the proper room and time but no one was around. It was the wrong Saturday. The previous week was the date.

So, as proven many times by many people, intelligence and practicle knowledge don't always go hand-in-hand.

Embarrassingly your,
Bob

This is one of the most enlightening threads I've read around here in a long time. Here I am reading blithely away and I come across this post. I just about spit coffee all over my monitor.[:0] Bob and I used to work together at a meat-grinder employer called General Cable Corporation in Westminster, CO. We were pretty good friends too.

Holy Cow! What a nice surprise. I will drop you a note off line. I looked at your website. Very handsome! Oh, and you too Gerry.
