Spreading hatred and discontent

[Mike Arman <armanmik@n-jcenter.com>]

Dear List,

Recently, on the expert advice of the floor sweeper at the local tire
store, I purchased a bulletproof, synthetically lubricated hollow point
spider from Blau to fit my 1969 Chebby M5 Uglywagon. I paid list price, in
advance, plus tax and shipping.

I now get 450 hp and 280 mpg, but since I have no idea how I arrived at
these numbers, I'm not going to tell anyone how to do it.

Did I do good? Monica thinks so.

Big Grin!

Seriously though, every once in a while something happens that puts all
this stuff in perspective for what it is.

Last week, a guy in our condo died - at the tender age of 32. He was kind
of a jerk, and everyone assumed it was a drug overdose, as in "Told ya so!"

Autopsy report came in yesterday: He died of blood poisoning from - ready?
- an abcessed tooth! He evidently took a handful of aspirin because it hurt
so bad, then went to bed, and he simply never woke up. Makes you think
about your priorities.

Thinking hard,

Mike Arman
