Damn -- who'da thunk it?  Mr. Context missed a pun.  With both hands, in
broad daylight.  Tell me, DJ:  can you find your face without a map?

>>>colon.                     dash.                     right parenthesis.

Ponder them.  Clip them out, and meet them for breakfast at McDonald's.
Call me when the context finally sinks in.  I hope you'll understand if I

Duh.  Here's your honorary Jeff Vogel Memorial "Free Ticket to a Dick-Size
