I may be wrong, but I suspect this was meant to be sent to Fred's
inbox directly.

I love it. Check out the very first review question:
---------------------------------------------------
TASK 1: Change the <indicated> words with shall or will

1. It <is going to> dark this evening.
--------------------------------------------------

And the right answer is.....?

No wonder people say English is a difficult language to learn.

I think not.
My command of the Enblish language, Ii do believe, is probably far superior
to yours
Perhaps thats why you have the tag DONUT
Is that the shape of your head?

Aww, lighten up, Ferd; you're rapidly becoming a regular. And you're
the most fun ROFF has had in quite a while.

Its still nasty **** - do you think that you are Wolfgang - if so you better
watch it as he probably gets a beating regularly from someone that he ****es
off.

Hm......

Interesting observation. For the record, Myron, you are not me. Any
beatings you have received as a result of this deception are not your
rightful property and should be returned to their lawful owner with all
deliberate speed in order to avoid any possible legal repercussions,
potentially including, but not limited to, the deployment of heavily armed
tactical units with surly dispositions.....or not.....at dicklet's
discretion.

But, we digress.

Wolfgang
the good news is maybe the lumps aren't malignancies after all.

Well, Fred, I know you don't read my posts any longer, but that won't make
this any less entertaining for me. . .
Myron is a good guy. I've met him, fished (not "catched") with him, and had
a beer with him. As far as I can tell, he's met more roffians than just
about anyone else here, and I don't recall any of these people calling him a
"mofo." Calling someone a "mofo" is by far one of the nastiest, lowest
insults around. So I guess it's okay for you to do that ****, but everyone
else has to be nice to you, eh? Once again <sigh>, if you would just proof
what you write before you hit the send button, the pain would be greatly
reduced for the rest of us here, where what you write is all we have. A typo
here and there is no big deal, but many of your posts are near unreadable.

Oh, and I've tried beating Wolfgang, but he's pretty fast at picking up a
beer. ;-)

Well, I have fished AND catched with him. So, nana-nana-nahnah. Also
had a few beers and meals with the big guy. And yes, he snores.

Hey, Ferd scored a point! So now its Ferd: 1, ROFF: 15,769.

--riverman

And now I have to go take all the monogramming out of my shirts that
says 'Wolfgang' and 'Mofo'. Rats.

Actually Fred is using the western version of nana-nana-nahnah.

So, subtract that point.

oh god...absolutely fabulous. much more of this and i'll start wearing
those adult diapers. at my age, uncontrollable laughter apparently
invokes uncontrollable bladder. i think i've ****ed my britches from
laughing so hard...and, well, laughter being the best medicine and all...

jeff (suitably soiled... and grinning because it's better to be ****ed
off than ****ed on, though not near as humorous)
