A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons one after one to pick up the bundle and break it. They tried but all in vain. Then untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break--one-by-one. This they did with the greatest of ease. Then said the father "thus my sons as long as you remain united you are a match for anything, but differ and seperate and you are undone."

Who am I to tell you how to conduct your business? Nobody. Which is why I ask you to do ANYTHING IT TAKES so that my worst sorrows about one of you won't come true. Somehow though, it does seem that unity and information-sharing is the best way to keep you AND your business alive.

I love all the talk about security and screening. Let me tell you, the thought of some no-neck bald guy whose head comes up into a little point and has his ear stuck to the wall makes me HOT. I only hope that if some of the sexy noises you girls make are too much for him to take anymore, and he has to come in to get some you will make him pay too.
