Maybe one of these days I'll make it.

Good illustration of needing to make that jump, but afraid too. My fav line, "My point is that you don't need my kind of abdomen to get laid" This just struck as me as really funny. Cool title too.<br><br>ps Did you put up another post?

Thanks! <br><br>About the next post, err, maybe it was the vision thing? heh (By the way, thanks again for the award! :) Wait, I didn't know you could read the post even after I took it off line.
