"Here's an idea, when you give thanks, use my name. Tell the people you are grateful to me."

I will be happy to do that. You can freepmail me your address, so I can send you the receipt for the food I buy for Christmas dinner. Once I receive your check, I will be sure to give thanks in your name for the dinner.

Until then, I'll give generic thanks, since I have no idea of the names of the folks who raised the turkey, harvested the potatoes, or produced, handled, distributed, and otherwise assisted me in my dinner preparations.

It would be much easier if I had one person to thank, and I'd be more than happy if it were you. So, just forward a check in the amount of the receipt and you'll be the recipient of my thanks at dinner.

The unknown persons who you are thanking never sent you any check. And since I never claimed you owed me thanks, I think I'll just keep my money or give it to a worthy cause, like my church.

My post clearly indicated you owe me no thanks, I just want equal billing with all the other people you are thanking who never did a damn thing to put that food on your table so you could pray to no one with your ape relatives. Particularly the dim witted ones who believe in God. Poor slobs, they just aren't as smart as you.

This is great fun!
