I am impressed! An unprovoked assault!  I love the good 'oldays.  Well constructed insult hurled with a basis in hard scienceand with a self-effacing tone.  Brilliant!

Hey, I can take it. Besides, everyone knows Dickson's an asshole... Martingecalled me up just yesterday especially to tell me that. There's even apicture of him at every border check point and in bold type at the bottomit says, "Don't let this asshole into Canada. Of course, most countries(even Scotland, I hear) have much the same signs.

I am available for reverb duties if anyone should require them, butI assure you, I don't come cheap. The only one who gets a discount is Shakirawho rented ole 10030 for a live TV appearance in Montreal. She liked theold girl so much, she used her twice. Now Shakira can do anything withme she wants!

Dickson, you're off my Christmas list for that unprovoked assault, regardlessof how well-constructed (Fritz, you forgot the hyphen) and based on hardscience it was! The self-effacing tone had a quite ingenuous and naivetetone, though. Well done on that.
