You're only getting a hint of the glorious life of Cuba, where important mail is sent by carrier pigeon, up in Canada. I heard recently that Cuba's cigars are no longer of the high quality they used to be. ---------------- Another brilliant quote from you my binary friend. If you read the phrase again, can't you grasp the irony in it? Having been there in vacation though I can tell you that the rhum and the musicians are freakin' excellent! Not a great place for the food though. For the cigars, I don't really care I don't smoke. Now, if you can refrain from distracting this interesting thread...

Parrot Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Mr. Painful, This thread is a free-for-all. Irony is generally lost on me. I normally read things as if the writer meant them. I don't have any inclination to waste time wondering if he meant the opposite of what he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Good one, Ed. But you know, Dennis got the phrase from John Lennon, who got it from common parlance. Dennis and I go back a long ways, since I am an Ohioan and used to watch Cleveland news. As mayor, he caused the city to go bankrupt.

Parrot Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 My apologies, Mr. Painful. Would you like Quebec to secede? I never hear any talk of that anymore. Is that all in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These political threads seem to develop mass and speed all on their own. When it hits 15 pages just jump in and ***** again. Then wait until 25 and repeat.

We missed our chance in the 1995 referendum. There is no chance to win another so die hard loons like myself will have to turn the page.

Well, at least not that we were involved in. mdeneen ---------------- Well.. Quebecers are usually not to prone to go to war... Don't forget that we are from French descent so the military art is not our forte. But we know how to make cheese that doesn't taste like processed rubber.
