[GreenKeys] sorting tape chad

[hunybuny at eskimo.com]

Hey Steve;

Yes - and I was one of the "new guys" who the "old guys"
would pull every trick in the book on.

The thing they never knew is I was well-aware of all that
stuff, but while I was sitting there sorting chad, daydreaming
the day away without any stress, they were doing the real work.

It's like the joke below;

The big kids would call the little guy over and offer him
a choice between taking a nickel or a dime out of their
hands. He always took the nickel. One day one of his friends
told him he was stupid because he wasn't taking the dime.
The little guy responded "I'm not so stupid - I know a dime
is worth more than a nickel - but if I take the dime, they'll
stop playing this game and I won't be getting free nickels any more".

UE,
W6ESE - tony
