I apologize. As I look back on my post from a month ago, I see that I made a really long stretch just to tell a joke. On top of that, the pun on rustling (stealing cattle, making a noise with paper) sailed over **whuckfistle’s** head. I continue to learn through screwing up. ---

I got it. And it was funny. ---

On top of that, the pun on rustling (stealing cattle, making a noise with paper) sailed over **whuckfistle’s** head. I continue to learn through screwing up. \*\* I see my sense of dry humor escaped even you. The only thing that sailed over my head was the paper airplane that fell out of the paper cowboy`s paper shirt pocket (as it rustled past my ear). My 3 year old would get that joke.😉 **Blt2pls** - Welcome aboard!!buddy . Anyway, sometimes things said on this board are only “gotten” in reference to other things you would have had to get in different posts and different threads at different times. Like “come back bring pie”. No-one knows what the hell that really means. Except for the dillusional psychopath that started it. Your question of **what the hell are you talking about** is what most of us think but don`t bother asking.
