Me too!! I hate phones so its a big deal to me if I use it to make them happy. I doubt they see it that way however. I dont think people beleive me when I say 'I hate phones'. They think Im just making an excuse. Before you say, 'youre just avoiding them' ...know that I use email frequently to keep in touch, and texting is not a problem either. I just dont like phones.

Once in a land far, far away there lived a group of people called Trids. The Trids were happy except for the huge ogre that lived on the mountain. The ogre would periodically terrorize the Trids.

The Trids tired of the ogre and sought to reason with him. They thought one of their religious leaders would be a good intermediary. So a group of Trids and their minister went up the mountain and before they could even say one word the ogre kicked them down the mountain. Not being dismayed the Trids thought that maybe the ogre was Catholic, so they sent another delegation, this time led by the local priest. But alas, as they approached the ogre he once again kicked them all down the mountain.

The Trids were upset until they thought that perhaps the ogre was Jewish. Unfortunately, no Trids were Jewish, so they wrote to the people of another land and asked them to send a Rabbi to help them with the ogre. The Rabbi arrived and led a delegation of Trids up the mountain. The ogre saw them coming and kicked all of them, except for the Rabbi, down the mountain. The Rabbi, having been told of the previous expeditions, wondered why he alone had not been kicked down the mountain, so he asked the ogre. The ogre laughed and replied:

"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"

'Enquiring minds' 'n all that, y' know ...

Besides, if a rational number is a number that can be represented as a fraction, it's kinda hard for a 'fractional rabbit' to go hippity-hop down the bunny trail ... that's just 'pieces 'n parts' ... and a new McD's sandwich ...

Very good point!
Next time I will say, I was testing YOU by not calling first! meh.
