THIS JUST IN: DAVID SOUTER, TALLISH SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, IS DUE TO RETIRE!  THANK YOU DAVID FOR YOUR SERVICE.  EVEN YOUR MOST CASUAL JUDGEMENT IS MORE ACCEPTABLE THAN THAT OF MANDY, A WAL-MART TELEPHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WITH WHOM I SPOKE RECENTLY!

I WOULD LIKE TO DECLARE MY AVAILABILITY FOR THIS VACANCY!  I HAVEN’T WORN ROBES SINCE MY HONORARY DEGREE AT TULANE UNIVERSITY, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE - I FILL THEM WELL!  I PROMISE WISDOM, HONOR, AND NO LITMUS TESTS, OTHER THAN THAT FOR PH!

KEEPING THE PHONE LINES CLEAR…

P.S.  MANDY,  THE MICROWAVE WAS BROKEN WHEN WE UNPACKED IT.  YES, I DO KNOW HOW TO OPERATE A MICROWAVE!
