They call me…“Pants”. So where do I live, in a Dick Tracey cartoon? Hows THAT for instilling fear in my enemies? I guess if you “creased” me, I wouldn’t kill you. I’d give you the “permanent press”. ---

**Extra Arm?!** I guess it sounds kind of impressive… if you’re _really_ looking for it to sound like something. Sort of like the guy they call in when the usual “Arms” (as we mob types like to call ourselves) can’t handle the job. Amatuers… ---

Knuckles? What’s up with that? My uncle just calls me Krissy. I think I like that much better. I will let you all know that my husband isn’t very happy with The Squealer! He is never going to hear the end of this. Thank you Dave for future laughs! ---
