It's your memory that seems to be lacking but we won't go there! I wrote it like that on purpose having done it before when you made your David Blowie comps.

You may have to clue me in on this--"I guess if I had balls, you would have just busied them."

Hey HyFi, let me offer a wild guess here, I think instead of "Busied", the word should have been "busted". Thats kinda of an LOL for me. The rest should be self explanatory.

OK, I'm off to minding my own business now. :o
