[Lowfer] HUGE SUCCESS !! GROUP ROUNDTABLE

[Paul Daulton]

Sorry to be late for net. Mondays at the local WESTERN
SIZZLING STEAK HOUSE is bald monday where the meals are discounted up to 50% 
depending on the degree of baldness. In this economy one must take every 
advantage one can. I will go earlier next week, and yes I am bald.
