    You should hear me in the shower. :D

    No, on second thought, you shouldn't. ::)

    That's what you think. But I'll remember this one. ;)
    I have five stars! This doesn't mean that I know anything about any of the things I post. I could be a raving lunatic, or a brilliant genius, or just some guy on the internet. In fact, I could be all three at the same time.

    If anything I say makes sense, then do it. If not, don't. Don't blame me or my stars if you do something stupid because I suggested it. I'm responsible for my own stupidity only. You are responsible for yours.

    Why, I don't even have five stars anymore! Aren't you glad you aren't responsible for my stupidity?

    I think this Nick Parr guy who started this thread should take some responsibility for where it is going. >:(

    He just started this snowball rolling down a hill, and look where it has gone. He could have at least run along beside it for a while giving it a nudge this way and that to keep it from smashing into anything. :-/

    Of course, he's just a guest poster, so maybe he didn't know any better. Anyone who has been around long at all should know by now what can happen.

    de de derrrrrr.
    Perhaps a Monty Python sketch.

    Off shore is a misnomer unless the financial institution is afloat or based upon the seabed. I guess the term has gained popularity because of insular island predjucices about financial affairs abroad.
    Please discuss if you are able.

    J_B, you don't want to ruin this thread with something serious, do you? It was going so nicely. The snowball was about to run off shore.... ;D

    I must admit that "off-shore" seems shaky terminology to me, too. But it isn't insular island prejudice, it is used on at least one continent as well. ;)

    It appears that you have continental information that you are unable to confess. I expect everything.
