         Having just spent an evening with a friend to whom
         I said I was ready to leave and then proceded to
         visit the bathroom, fix the leaky faucet, and
         make a phone call....and then leave {almost}...
         
         I am guitly! {still laughing, but guilty!}

    Re: .0 and .1
    
    This wonderful tome is from the book "If Love Were Oil, I'd Be About
    A Quart Low" by Lewis Grizzard.
    
    He also has another excellent book called "Elvis Is Dead And I Don't
    Feel So Good Myself".
    
    Check them out.
