Not us. You must be thinking of soembody else. My theory is that the humor in NYC came mainly from the ethnic groups there, which we do not have here. We didn't have them in LA, either, at least not that I ever heard. But then my mother also claimed the cops there weren't crooked. If every single goody two shoes And precisely what is wrong with goody two-shoeses? that you hated in high school were to move to one nightmarish place, that would be DC (Capitol Hill, really). Never occurred to you that we don't so much elect as expel them? That basically sums it up. Seems to have gotten quiet out there. Just wait. Glad that you folks do some work.Boy, do you ahve a thing or two to learn. There's LOTS of porn out there, and we can't spend all day playing Pinheads. Although you seem to have too much time on your hands in general! But you are all very weird. Takes one to know one. Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah. I am pleased. I, for one, feel MUCH better now. Thank you. Anytime. Ralph
