In answer to Sandy Knauer
3/17/2004 11:52:48 PM


That was a good question, Sandy - since we are talking about service people being killed in Iraq because they are in Iraq...
...but I guess I'll have to wait to see what the shrinks say about the green beret's motive for losing his neurons and wasting the love of his life. But who knows? If we hit - say - 998 or 1,002 dead troops there by Midnight 1/1/05, this may call for an arbitrator. [But thanks for bringing it up. I mean - as Halliburton knows - money is money. Whether you get it in Iraq or in, say, Haiti, it is still do-re-mi.]




Oh yes, Sandy, before you ask - the two young men [as yet unidentified though YOU CAN BET neither one's last name was 'Bush', 'Cheney' nor 'Rumsfeld] that were killed today in Iraq? No sweat. They were on the job.




GREAT! WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT! ANOTHER TROOP BOUGHT IT JUST AS I WAS TYPING THIS! So - make it three dead troops [so far anyway] today.


Hey, Sandy - after talking it over a short while ago - the other bettor and I both decided it had to be an actual member of the armed forces who was killed IN Iraq. [Otherwise, next thing you know we'll be haggling about if the in-laws are done in, a new boyfriend/girlfriend that's taken his/her place while the poor guy/gal was bravely serving for months in the desert due to the fixations of an obsessed leader [a former Viet Nam dodger, no less, who joined The Guard back in the days when the initials "N.G" were said to stand for "Not Going], his dog, his neighbor's dog, etc. Regardless, my "sure thing" - after I kept hearing about how the Iraquis would be parading in the streets, etc., when they were "liberated" - is slowly [pardon the expression] "blowing up" in my face.


Anyway, thanks for trying to help me out, Sandy. I do appreciate it.
