This is, hands down, the funniest thing in the entire thread!  
ROFLMAO!!!

Thank you all for your comments.  
Next time: My memories as a bag boy at the local health food cooperative!

Maybe some are, Milossarian, but not all of us are ficticious. I’m real, I am! And I grew up not far from where your profile says you live. Used to ride my bike down to the TC Cherry Festival - unrelated, I know, but the name of the event is strangely appropriate to this thread. Hmmm, maybe we should get together at the Howell Melon Festival? But I’m off track again…

I guess I have to admit I was taken in by this at the beginning. In my defense, I gotta say that growing up in Traverse City, there wasn’t anything like a porn shop around. Well, that I knew of, any way. And Mama Coder made sure I stayed ignorant!
