I'm sure we can _all_ agree that we've had this caller at least once.

I've sent them an invite.

The truly sad thing is that the company I work for has clients who can make a peanut butter sandwich without the prompting, but are in every other respect not suitable for Prime Time.

That reminds me of The Complete and Utter Idiot's Guide to Making a Baloney Sandwich: http://www.brunching.com/idiotsandwich.html

The truely sad thing

Only doing this because I'm a grammar nazi but if you were editing anyway, why not fix "truely" to remove the extraneous 'e' ? ;-)

[jecook]

D'oh!

Fixed.

Bless you and your descendants for a thousand generations - except generation 268 - those are too weird to be blessed :-)

[jecook]

lol.

There are days when I wonder what some of my ancestors would say if they saw me, and if they'd be disappointed in how I turned out. (I have a mildly famous explorer back up in my family tree.) Fortunately, those days are few and very far between.

I think if they could see you they'd probably be thinking along the lines of "How in the hell did we get here?" or "So ... what does a guy have to do to get a proper ale around here anyway?" :-)

[jecook]

Probably the first line, although he was a sailor, so the second line might work as well.

Oh, neat. Sailors receive extra street cred from me for having to deal with fun things like scurvy and amorous captains. :)

[jecook]

Oh, he comanded ships. IIRC, he was a mustang, or a captain who worked up through the ranks. Unfortuantely, my own history of the man is somewhat incomplete, which is probably a shame.

This is why we hire genealogists to help. I traced my family back to France but then hit a stone wall. So I hired a part-time genealogist to help. She got through a few of those walls for me and now I'm fairly certain my family were mimes at one point. Oh, the ultimate shame... :)

[jecook]

Nah, others have done the work for me. Remember, I said slightly famous.

Somethign about "discovering" Austrailia, if I recall correctly...
