I admit it's a grey area.
So you're gonna be here all weak in this painful joint? I'm trembling. But I'm indentured to you.

You crack me up, Mikey. I'm gonna look deep within the bowels your post, the very fiber of your being. I'll be brief - I want to be able to depend on you for loads of humor. That would be grayt. You're creaming me on the puns and I'm doing my best here.
I'll check my diarrhea to see if I've written anything else I can use in this post. Stuff keeps running thru my mind...
(I had the perfect pun, it was awesome - and I accidentally hit the back arrow and lost it. If I can remember it I'll reinsert it here. Pun intended)

I plan to be an early bird here to prune down my quota of puns about seniors. Aren't you plaid I did this? However, I must admit I never Metamucil a pun that I didn't like.

Wheelie, I'm voting you the chair of this subject. I walked right into this, knowing that I'd need therapy. Cane ya understand? I'm stretched really thin, here.
I was in an interesting discussion with my boss the other day. In short, we have had plenty of request for quote in recent months, but we are converting far less into orders. He is already looking forward to whom we might need to cut, if sales do not pick up substantially. Add to this some family members who have either already lost their jobs in the past six months, or have been told that there will be reductions forthcoming unless things turn around soon.
It begs the question, how is your company, or the company you work for doing? Is business good, bad, or flat or otherwise?
