WOWIE, Ken.... what with your new, not-yet-paid-for-farm, plus your acquisition of the entire Empire State, you're going to have an a VERY impressive portfolio. Ya gotta stop letting that fella Vito make ya them eggs for ya on accounta you'll end up with sky-high cholesterol readings, have a heart attack, and croak! Of course THAT could mean Vito HAD done the job he was hired to do, but had taken a circuitous route to get there <grin> HEY YOUSE - if you'd like to round out your investments rather than have all your eggs in one basket (so to speak), I've got a restaurant which prepares fava beans in 1001 different ways to sell ya. <wee smirk> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: KEn Becker <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sunday, July 04, 1999 9:29 PM Subject: Re: Non-PD: Re: Pigs & Armpits >Unfortunately, probably due to a bank error, I seem to be overdrawn on my >checking account at this time.
