- Whilst scanning the latest edition of the FAQ I came across
-
- T. Dick Joltes used to be an arms dealer.
-
- I wish to make it known that I have never dealt in the purchase, resale, or
- trading of human appendages of any sort, including arms, legs, or the ever-
- popular Naughty Bits. While it is true that I've occasionally handled the
- transfer of the limbs of certain woody plants from the "vendor" (i.e. "tree")
- to my fireplace, there...hmmm...(thinking about various meanings of the word
- "arms")...ahhh, well.
-
- Okay, so I *was* an arms dealer. But I've never met Adenung Keshogi (sp?)
- and those shots of me with Mr. Afafat were obviously faked. So there. I
- doubt very seriously that either would make the trek to West Virginia to
- discuss the sale of antiquated double-barrel shotguns anyway...
-
- And I hearby eat my assertion that the GyroJet was ever an accurate missile
- launcher of any sort and pledge to check my sometimes-faulty core memory
- (sans diodes!) before posting such errata. Okay, one lousy mistake out of
- hundreds of postings, furrfu! Well, maybe two.
-
- At this point (.) in the narrative, let me add a "happy holiday-of-your-
- choice" to all the denizens of AFU. May your Shergoldometers peak repeatedly
- as your eggnog-sodden relatives relate their latest ULs...
