Don't do it.  I adopted an orphaned response about a year ago, and since then
my life has been hell.  It raped my cat, tortured my grammar, fractured my
fairytales, and emptied my bitbucket into the Charles River, causing me
trouble with the EPA.

Let the little nogoods suffer, or better yet, in the tradition of Jonathan
Swift

		A MODEST PROPOSAL

 send 'em to Ethiopia, with a recipe book.  If you let one of these pitiful
orphans into your life, you might as well use your hairdryer in the bathtub.

You have been warned.

Disclaimer:  For all I know it is the policy of wjr and his company to adopt
orphaned responses, but I sure hope not.
