I didn't see that anyone else had posted this article, which kind of surprised me. It's by Dave Barry, who has a very unique brand of humor that you either love or hate. I hope you love it. Here's the link. <A HREF="http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/5023564.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/5023564.htm</A> Enjoy!
