    Well, I don’t live in front of mine either, James.* I was just jibbin’ ya, but think the my feeble attempt at humor failed.

    *I do actually spend far more time in front of my computer than anywhere else, though. Hmmm, just a symptom of my Pathetic Life™.**

    **Yeah, just try to mess with that trademark Al Franken! I know a real cheap attorney who settles easily out-of-court.
