Lines: 19 [January is Eat More Wombats Month] Would somebody ask Jeff to spend less time @ His Terminal? I enjoy his postings, but he'll never meet any pretty girls that way. A sidelight: one of my brother's friends was considered rather a jerk, both by himself and by the guys he hung out with. At a beach party he met a young woman with stunning looks, and lost his heart to her. She already had a boyfriend who was big, handsome, and rather dangerous- looking. Being conscious of his own "inferiority" and moreover prudent, he did no more than chat with her. A few weeks later he met her again, learned that the hunk had dumped her, and asked her out. It was obvious that he felt overwhelmed by her, but he was so crazy about her that he didn't care about looking like a fool. She liked that and married him. They're still together and happy. -- Col.
