   I don't know what your name is since you did not sign your name, so
I just call you Shit-for-brains. As you can see I'm just a silly guy,
it was ment to bring a smile on Pete's face. Pete, I hope you took it
that way. With the tone that was on the list for a while I thought
that a little silliness might bring the tone down a little. Maybe the
pictures are OK, it could be that cord that runs from your rectum to
your eyes that gives you such a shitty outlook on life. 


                                    Silly Me,
                                             BARRY
