And it’s still your problem even if it’s the 20 Dopers foolish enough to show up in this thread who are complaining they can’t make heads or tails of your post.

Damn, I’m always

so late

arriving at

these fun

threads.

My foil

hat is

due for replacement.

Or maybe it

is a problem

with my precious

Or Obama.

Or something.
