What’s Truth Got to do With It?

Friday, August 25th, 2006

I mentioned Monsoon earlier … The gal calls and says, “My husband found this bunny …”.  Yeah, right.  It’s amazing how many people can’t find it to tell the truth.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but lying doesn’t change the truth, does it?

Another Wannabee Breeder Strikes !!

Definition: Wannabee .. A person who tries, sometimes obsessively, to emulate a person, profession, or activity they are drawn to - for whatever reason, for a given time - eventually giving it up.
