Hi Sue,

That is kinda funny.  "Gee, who should we help?  Let's help them
both to be on the safe side."

There are some not-so-funny moments, though; and these are the
times when I find it hardest to be polite.  For example, awhile
back an elderly woman got on the bus.  When she noticed my dog, who
was sitting quietly, she went through this spiel about how dogs
weren't supposed to be allowed on buses.  Both the driver (most of
the drivers here in Salem know me well) and I explained patiently
that Barney was a working dog and that he helped me to get around.

To this the woman responded that if I couldn't get around without
assistance I shouldn't have left the house.  I shut up, because
otherwise I would have said something uncharitable.

-> MegaMail v2.01 #0:You say I'm weird?  Thanks!
