                        Your lack of planning does not constitute my emergency. Especially if I warned you repeatedly.

                        by the way ...I LOVE this one.

                          ever notice that in the cartoon world the bad guy would say alot "But that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!" when they start to lose.
                          especially Cobra Commander.

                          Always confused me. how could you be SO arrogant to think that everything you do is foolproof?

                                      Just because something may be supported, doesn't imply that it is support.

                                        Back in the early 90s when colored screens were a luxury and the main desktop OS was 3 characters, I wrote an ERP system for a manufacturing company in C. One of the secretaries there did her very best to make me a better programmer. It seemed to be her mission.

                                          We need to quit asking people "How stupid can you be?"... Some folks are taking that as a challenge.
