I concede the point to you.

Personally, however, I'd prefer that rather than 'clean', you (and me, and the rest of us) were "'dirty' and happy"! (that is, in a good/positive/healthy sense)


btw - hope I didn't get too carried away w/my previous post... truth be told, I sent the msg in the morning, but I hadn't had any sleep either, the preceding night, so... (btw, just so that no one is concerned, my not sleeping that evening had nothing to do with, and did not include, any of the dexedrine that I had referred to)
