The first time I viewed this ad, I thought that the man's profile was some kind of weirdly stylized car key.
:o Yeah, some days are slower than others.

I've always been kind of weirded out by old cars that have those giant fins sticking out in the back.

(If I had bottomless pockets.)

That's very sweet of you, Jeremy. But I really came down to ask about that station attendant's job in The Classifieds of yesterday's Argus. With the children at Summer Camp and my Johnny away on [cough] "business" in the Poconos again, I'm simply bored out of my skull at home!
