"it certainly did Mike...when it happened i ofcourse started cursing like a longshoreman...so my wife comes downstairs looking at me like i got three heads...""why do you play that silly game"" she says...i told her it keeps the voices in my head quiet

...i don't think she got the joke...mumbled something about an appointment with a psychiatrist
