Thank You

b'There are some things we simply never admit. For example, when you get a phone call on Saturday morning at 2 AM...and you think, "Oh my God I hope this is a wrong number," but it turns out it\'s a friend who immediately says, "I didn\'t wake you did I?" You never admit you were sleeping. You don\'t admit that your idiot friend woke you just when you had a dream going about Catherine Zeta Jones and her twin sister Desire. No sir. When your friend says, "I didn\'t wake you did I" you say something like, "No I was just sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair reading the bible." \\n\\tIt\'s just one of those harmless lies that keep best friends from taking after Caine and Abel....especially when it comes to politics. That leads me to wonder if there is really anything like a harmless lie. Next time I\'m reading the bible, I\'ll check out the 10 Commandments, and see if I can find any appropriate loopholes. By the way, the first time I looked in the bible, which was a long time ago, I found something that if I tell you about it, I will get into a lot of trouble. The most violently religious among you may even seek an immediate return to the custom of human sacrifice, with me as the honor-ee. But most of you don\'t know where I live, so I think I\'ll tell you anyway.'
