  Billy, Billy, Billy,
 
  Slurp, Slurp.  What a suck ass you are.  I suppose Ed Betts taught you
how to be a real teachdiver.  For your information dumb ass, I've had 22
years of accident free diving of many styles, to me or anyone of my
students of the last 15 years.  So take your aboriginal ass and push
real hard.  Maybe your head will pop out like a zit.

      John
