    	are you paranoid?  "dread" is a contributing factor to paranoia.

	dog days of summer --are you nuts? or just referring to Toto again?

	yes, I see you are arguing with yourself. how do you look in

	if the gerrymanderer cuts your "table" in two, which half will

	you did not learn the most important lesson of the series: you
	must resort to the state of "crazy" to avoid going "insane".
	they give the insane Haldol if they are lucky, a lobotomy if
	that doesnt settle them down --witness Ken Kesey's "Cuckoo".

	is it true you're several cards short of a full deck? and, there
	was some question as to your response to: "...and you said the

	cowardly.  see Dorothy for counseling.

	great truths are built on small truths and fallacies are destroyed
 	with small lies that the little boy in Holland did not cover with
	his finger.

    a disgusting comment which fits a research (bio)chemist in Turkey
    where birth control reminds me of:

   	the father of the bride, who was marrying a Turk, told her that
	she was not required to submit to the Turkish indecencies, and
	if her about to be husband told her to "roll over", she should
	refuse.

	everything was fine for about a year until one night the husband
	told her to "roll over" --she refused; and when questioned, she
	told him what her father had said. his reply was quite simple:
	"but you do wish to become pregnant, dont you?"
