Ken.... I've devised a sure fire way for you to avoid having a more intimate relationship with Vito and all his friends and "family" than you'd care to have. Just follow these simple directions, and you'll be a free man - and a rich one too! (how can ya turn down an offer like THAT?) I started with the premise that you already have the farm (such as it us) and the pigs, so they should be put to work in some manner to provide you with multi-gazillon bucks ya need in order to be debt-free. Picture this: You hire a research geneticist to find ya a way to implant the a few snake genes in the pigs, which'll cause the pigs to shed their skin once a year. THEN you gather all the shed skins, deep fry 'em or bake 'em for a no-oil-less-choresterol-fewer-calories, and you've got a marketable product - PORK RINDS! <grin> For a creative and classy touch that'll but ya head and shoulders above the competition, I suggest your offer the public a choice of salsas, dips, etc. amd the next thing ya know the money'll come rolling in! Oh.... and if you hear one of them piggies make a rattling soud, you'd better run like hell! <smirk> No.... no.... you don't have to thank me - after all, what are friends for? <giggle> 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: Thursday, July 08, 1999 4:17 PM Subject: Re: Non-PD:Re: Pigs & Funny Farms >Actually I am little worried,Camilla, I never got a deed for the bridge, and >I haven't seen Vito, but he says I may be spending a lot off time with Jimmy >H. who apparently lives near the bridge.
