Grey Market

[Meyer Carl]

That was a nice history and spelling lesson, Roger.

Tell me, is the subject "grey market " spelled right?

Your sports analogy about futball was interesting.  I guess when the Brits
stopped beating up on other countries, they just beat up on each other.
Getting rid of the tin suit made it more interesting.

I've never been much of a sports fan, but I found out in high school that
while all the jocks were out beating each other up, it gave me more
opportunity to fraternize with the more gentle gender.

By now, though, I'm too old to fight and too fat to run so I have to try to
be jolly.  What's your excuse?

I can't blame this on the devil.  I get myself in enough trouble without
him.

Mirthfully;

Carl Meyer
