Hi Phil,

Hey, you obviously don't listen half the time because we both laugh.  Yes, 
as you know, Mike's always joking around and probably did less of it when he 
was on "good behaviour" at your home.

Now, I'm sure I've heard this French poodle joke but can't recall it, so 
you'll have to refresh my ailing memory if you want me to laugh - and oh, do 
I need to laugh right now!

Mind you, I could be eagerly studying "your language" at such a time and may 
of course be distracted, trying to figure out expressions such as (well, you 
know the ones I mean).

For those who don't know, Phil and I often joke around about "visiting", 
since he uses it in such an odd manner, "Anyways" and "sort of speak" also 
spring to mind.

As for "Holy cow", we've now proved over here that there just isn't one! 
<Smiles>
