Of course I'm taking it as a fun spoof, but really, some days, you have to
wonder! (grin)

Tom I think that I can describe what most of those guys look like. Now this
is a spoof so Please don't take me seriously. First form loose fists with
both hands and hold them up near your ears. Now Open your mouth so that
your tung is very floppy. Then shake the hands forward and backward while
violently shaking your head so that your tung flaps wildly. Now make weird
voice noises while you are doing that and then you might be looking like my
version of the average Radio Shack counter person.
