I wondered if the order puller had the idea that we were trying to make money from Americas Funniest Home Videos. You smack him with the cast iron skillet and I'll get the comedy gold on tape.

nobody around here sells it anymore, that is for sure

we make bozos who want to play on the ranch sign a little damage waiver and it is just something I print off the computer so to make a copy for them...carbon paper. too cheap to have real forms made up and one sheet lasts for years.
