[Just another Joe]

Gin martini, the vermouth bottle got to look at it, shaken, not stirred

and a Montecristo #2.

Those are nice catches on the reports and, of course, the people that wanted the studies to begin with don't want to hear about them now.

Netmilsdad is here with me tonight because he got this in his inbox today.

Virus Alert!
There is a new virus called "work". If you receive "work" from your colleagues, your boss, via e-mail or any one else, do not touch "work" under any circumstances. This virus wipes out your private life completely.
If you should happen to come in contact with this virus, put on your jacket and take two good friends and go straight to the nearest bar.
Order three drinks and after repeating 14 times, you will find that "work" has been completely deleted from your brain.
Forward this virus warning immediately to at least 5 friends.
Should you realize that you do not have 5 friends, this means that you are already infected by this virus and "work" already controls your whole life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The poor darling found out that he doesn't have 5 friends and therefore is already infected. I told him I would intoduce him to some people here.
Joe, I'm having oral surgery on Friday so let me buy you a drink, ok??
