[SOC] Membership Certificates

[Joe Pontek Sr]

Hey, fellowMick!  I worked hard for this new certificate!  Daily, 
sometimes more often, the buggers who make
and modify the software I have been burdened with to have to use to down 
load my replacement cow skin, or
is it sheep dipped skin, I had to consume, er, drink half of my weeks 
allotment of kidney wash, beer, to manipulate
the data to expose it to my printer that then ran out of ink. Replaced 
the dead beat cartridge and printed it, oh,
on paper I bought.  Now, to Wally World and buy another cheap ass frame 
to hang it crookedly on my wall for a
few to, maybe, see.

To total up the cost I have had to endear, I will be out over $50 USD!  
That will be at the least, three weeks without
kidney wash/flush.  I worked hard for my $$$ all my life since I was 16 
years old.  Free???????  Hell, I appreciate
not having to leave the paper on me already over cluttered desk to get 
it authenticated in the normal way. The only
thing missing is the torn off corner where my old one stuck to the table 
by the sweet coffee spill.  B>}

I can't ask my ex-wives, crooked step-daughter or thieves where my old 
one is.  Maybe it was burned up in my home
when it went up in smoke.  So, thank you Bob.

Off, laughing, to Wally World, again!  Maybe I can find some cheaper 
kidney wash to tide me over until I hit the Lotto.

Seventy sumthing, Joey Pontek/Cascadden/McManus

Opps! Storm coming.  I'll get the boys to run out and wash their clothes 
in da rain,  Glad I kept all that packaging string
to hang up the wet stuff to dry.
