I'd be a damn fool to try and touch Spaw's Vein of Humor. (That's because there's a Vas Deferens between his and mine...). Nah, it's an apprenticeship thing... he's teaching me to be a foul-tempered curmudgeon. I had to sign a contract to bitch and moan for five years, but it looked easy at the time.
Well, when is this trip of yours? Need a ride? I'd love to visit for a bit. Drop me some mail at amos@san.rr.com, let me know what your plans are.
