Death claimed British actor Nigel Davenport, 85, Hollywood stunt double Hal Needham, 82, and actress-comedian Marcia Wallace, 70.

Government Class
-------------------------

Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA freshman, sat in her US government class.
The professor asked Bambi if she knew what Roe vs. Wade was about.

Bambi pondered the question then finally said, "That was the decision George Washington
had to make before he crossed the Delaware."

Where did the week go?  Let's discuss it and perhaps cigars too.  Be warned, we're an opinionated bunch and you will catch hell if you post something everyone doesn't agree with.  And heaven forbid if you should make a grammatical error, you'll be berated with GFYs!  So don't proceed if you have thin skin.  Then light a cigar, pop open your favorite pumpkin beer and welcome aboard!
Just in case anyone has not been able to pick up Alec Bradley Tempus Quadrum
the last couple of years after being offered a few thousand times they are featured today at CCom, it's a good thing they list them as being a limited item.
