Thanks for the laughs.

Got the not-working hat on today and at least a week beard going, I can't even remember.

Like the fireman idea, I usually just don't tell people much, especially after they ask 'what route I fly?'

Keep it up guys, we are all counting on you...at somepoint.

I'd tell him to shut up, and get back to banging your hot girlfriend all day.
