Am I overloading a thread when I answer like this? Please, somebdy correct my board etiquette. You have to wait 60 seconds between posts. It’s kinda like not swimming after meals. Nobody knows why, that is just the way it is done. Other than that, I personlly don’t care how often you post. ---

Speaking of things found during surgery after being shot, last year a convenience store owner in Stockton was shot and while they were looking for the bullet they found a 2" aneurism on his aorta. Talk about bad news/good news. Oh, and thanks, Ginger, for pointing me toward a new webcomic archive. ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > I think it would be very satisfying to call in sick to work after the doctor tells you that you have the plague. I think it would be even better to say that you’ve got the plague, but you’re going to come in and see if you can get a bit of work done anyway. ---
