D’oh, you know, I actually was thinking of a qoute from a movie, and come to think of it, you with the face isn’t it. The qoute actaully is “Hey you got something on your face”, which is from the holy bible of movies “Army of Darkness”, staring Bruce Campbell…  
Egg  
Face  
Now being wiped off…😃

> \*\ ***Meatros** , I came up with it on the spur of the moment actually. You know how people, when trying to get the attention of someone who’s name they don’t know, will say “Hey you with the ten-gallon cowboy hat, come over here!”? Once I heard someone say “hey you with the face!” and thought to myself, wow that was pretty a good way to get a specific person’s attention. How many people have faces? Couldn’t be more than 9.8 billion or so.

Oh. I was hoping you were a fan of a pinball machine from the late 80’s/early 90’s, called “Funhouse” if I remember correctly. Anyway, part of the hook was that it had a barker-type character who would yell out things from time to time, one of them being “Hey, you with the face!” Oh well, your actual reasons are even better.
