Hey Art.... If the "controversial surgery" had been THAT good, the lady woulda got a BLACK BELT in karate instead of a yellow one! <grinning, ducking & running> Whatcha wanna bet that this "controversial surgery" is a pallidotomy?

Is this something old hat to those of us on the list, or is it something new? Art Hirsch [log in to unmask] Lewisville, TX Home of the Fighting Farmers
