Went to the doctor and said, "See, doc, it hurts if I press here on my shoulder, or here on my knee, or here on my neck, or here on my ribs." He looked me over for a minute and said "I see your problem; you have a broken finger" /rimshot/ Not satisfied, I went to another doctor. He said "I can't tell exactly what's wrong with you. I think it has to do with alcohol abuse." "OK," I replied, "I'll some back when you're sober." -- Steve Cramer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
