I have a partner, and we hire guys. I am a jobs creator you know.

(Assuming such an offer is still on the table by the time I get there.)

Even if the idea of multiple bee stings scares the crap outta me.

I don't call you guys pussies because I'm mean. I do it because compared to me, you are! [grin1]

And just for fun, my BA at the Union Hall just sent me up to Antelope Valley Station for a six month gig at the power plant. No rest for Dumbass Dakota this summer. I'm gonna be extra ornery until November.

We also use some contract labor - Mexicans - who could work circles around Gunny and Texas - at any age.

You happen to be correct, as just about every Mexican I have seen can in fact work circles around me, but I can work circles around most Americans, as I am extremely fit and work at a hard labor job, when done correctly, which I do.

dfosterf (25-Jun) : Ed Policy yay or nay is on the pre-approved ballot that we always approve because we are uninformed and lazy, along with all the rest

Mucky Tundra (20-Jun) : GB-Minnesota 2004 Wild Card game popped up on my YouTube page....UGH
