I certainly understand the reasoning. Don't think you want to assign me there, though. My strength would be much more along the lines of a caller-outer. I admire those folks, but that ain't me. You go for it.
Reminds me of that line in that excellent old Branagh/Thomson flick, where Mike Church, the Branagh characterm is talking to the weird, profanity spewing psychiatrist-turned-meat packer played by Robin Williams:
Quote:
- Mr Church?
- Yeah?
- Someone's either a smoker or a nonsmoker, there's no in-between. The trick is to find out which one you are and be that.
- Well, I'm trying to quit.
- Don't tell me you're trying. People who say that are *****s who cannot commit. Find out which one you are. Be that. That's it. If you're a nonsmoker, you'll know.
- Thank you. Nice place you got here.
- F*****' fruitcake.
