Speaking of ashes, Alexander the Great sent home an urn of the ashes and soil in Afghanistan and told his mother to sprinkle it on the floor. Two guards at the entrance started out being polite: “After you.” “No, after you.” Then it quickly devolved “Don’t tell me what to do, after you,” whereupon they wound up fighting.“You see, even the ashes in the ground causes fights,” was Alex’s message.Perhaps sending Bucky over to Fungo’s place with a nice mudpie would have better results…
My sentiments exactly, Picto. In fact, 2005 is right around the time I last called a computer company’s tech support. That was when it took Dell more than a year to determine the machine’s motherboard was defective. … and I haven’t purchased from Dell since.
Several years ago, I had a good job in the accounts payable department of a large American corporation. Then they decided that the A/P work could be done cheaper in India. Bye bye job. I won’t mention the company’s name but their initials are United Rentals (oops).

What I like is everybody has a list of people who need to get smacked.
