Good subject title.

Keywords changed by Humphrey from "Patrick makes no sense at all" to
"Patrick makes way too much sense."

I think the jury is still hearing evidence on this one.

I did not see it to begin with, and I wonder how many people saw it 
Humphrey's way.  I wonder how many saw it to begin with.

PatricK may take the foregoing paragraph as an excuse to call me clueless,
and accuse me of sticking my nose into other people's business, and
of being a "sanctimonious little git," and "brainwipe," and "human refuse",
all of which he has done when faced with similar provocations from me
in the past, but after seeing all his rantings and ravings directed at
others besides me, I can't really say it matters to me, even though 
Dale Ann now seems to be fully recovered, and PatricK no longer has the
excuse of mental anguish for being so obnoxious.

I thought you said up there that it was Simon who concocted that story.

And pro-lifers are accused of having *no* sense of humor when a model
of a fetus stuck on the end of a Grim Reaper's scythe is compared to a
weiner about to be roasted, and the pro-lifers don't join in the
raucus laughter of the joker making the comparison.

PLH must have had a rough night, a la Genesis 32: 26-30. :-)
