[Johnson] So sue me

[Mark Foltarz]

Jon,

  Your absolutely right. The litigous mire our society has developed runs deep
& wide.
 
  Frankly, you'd be better off burying the ranger in your backyard.

  I tell you what, I'll trade you a cinder block for it. About the same size
hole has to be dug. Bigger handles too.
