What would the advantage be over a FC tippet?


Sheesh, Bill finally loosens up a little bit and posts a funny
and it flies over some heads so fast it leaves scorch marks.

Right you are!! Man, how did I miss that??

I had a TA this semester, who emailed me something. Later, when he was
talking about the message, I realized that I just didn't even see the
part he was referring to. We arrived at an arrangement by which anything
important got its own message, or appeared in the first two sentences.

For some reason, my wife leaves long voicemails. At this point, she
knows that if I don't think the message is important after about 15
seconds, I just delete it, with the rest unheard.

I'm sorry, Scott. Were you saying something?

and you're still married? ;-)

My wife and I have discussed this at length. She would ask me to go talk to
one of our kids about something they did wrong and I'd be back in a few
minutes. She didn't understand how I could have had any impact with a
subject that would have been, for her, a half-hour lecture. My talks usually
went something like:

"Did you do that?"
"Yes."
"Do you think that was a smart thing to do?
"No."
"Okay then. Don't do it again. You're grounded"

I always figured people's (especially kids) attention spans are short, and
it was best to get to the point.

I'm pretty sure that's the case, but maybe there's some pertinent info to
the contrary towards the end of one of these long messages.

Clearly, this group has *way* too much disposable income...
