Here's something I picked up over the years, hope you like it. (To tell you the truth, I'm not 96 or anywhere near there I got this off of a person at a bank. There I said it. I'm a fraud! Go ahead and tar and feather me! I don't care anymore! ) All kidding aside, I hope you like it. If you want a copy e-mail me at allanon@funtrivia.com and I'll be glad to give you one. Don't be lazy and just print it out thank you! Or just leave me your e-mail address. If you don't have a e-mail account, go march yourself over to the main menu of this here Funtrivia and get yourself an account. (Yes <sigh> Funtrivia does offer e-mail accounts) Do you hear. Now go! No point pretending, you're lazy so why not just get it over with and get an e-mail account. Stop puting it off. Now I give you an excuse to get one. Thank You! Do I make myself heard?
