On my birth certificate, under race, it says "human." Under birth defects, it says "Kinda ugly. Looks like father." I couldn't make this stuff up. I live to make people smile, to make their lives better in some small way, to enjoy the little things, and to laugh, even if it's to keep from crying. "What goes up must come down. But never where you can find it." -Murphy's law applied to Newton's. - Ken
