QUOTE OF THE DAY (OR MORE): "No, no. You don't understand. This is an '89 Calico. I'm pretty sure that exceeds the Kelly Blue Book value. The cat's totaled." --A comedian whose name I forget talking about a vet who presents a $3,000 bill for a 12-year-old cat

Thanks.... wait a minute...


I just received this email from one of the Indonesian customers with whom I met at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany recently:
"Dear funnyrunner,

Thank you for your email of 23rd October 2009 regarding the result of the meeting with you during last Frankfurt Book Fair. It is always nice to see you once a year..."
I guess they can't take much more of me...

    I always loved having meetings at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I'm convinced that I made better deals in broken English!

    Language barriers can be so very funny. I love to mess with people who have no clue what I'm saying!
