	re .0 what nonsense. with a little intuition and a few rightly placed questions you could be in a position to learn LOTS of new things about things that interest you. perhaps even learn a little technology. some of it is very accessable and very good these days. all it takes is for one to get off their butt and put forth a bit of initiative.

	> Maybe you could have a 2nd penis surgically attached to yourself > and get it pierced. surely you mean `get it bored'? Or was that the joke... I'm so bored it'd probably just pass me by, anyway... Chris.

	Excellent choice of words. And notice .20 is signed "Conrod"? Is that a Freudian slip, or is his name really "Conrod"? Not that I care, anyways ... I'll call him "Conrad" because I like the sound of it better.
160.25		SMURF::WALTERS		`Mon Jan 22 1996 21:18`	5
	Shawn, you really need to update your p_n to: "Don't like my pronunciation? 1-800-328-7448"

	re .24, it's not a freudian slip, it's my wife's nickname for me, perhaps it's because of my interest in engines and metal ! Conrod
