trout (lotion boy),

oh, you mean like remembering to load your drysuit into the truck 
when you are ready to leave it in your garage.  i know you've put 
on a few pounds, but i don't think the extra natural insulation  
is enough to keep you warm.  i guess remembering your drysuit is 
what i am good for.  stick to electricity and instrumentation and 
leave the chemistry to me.  have you been spending so much time 
in the office that you forgot where the plant is?

scott (tan man)

OK, so now you are saying He comes from plants?  I don't think so.  Why
don't you stick to what you are good at which is...well there must be something.
