Steve,
That was toooooo clever. Just read it for the first time.
How creative and funny. Can't say enough! You are multi talented.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I don't think anyone would understand a word of this, who hasn't had an AN and "done their homework."

Yep, Steve, a definite classic!  You must promise to dust this off every year - it's so fun.

SSD right. Tinnitus big-time, only when thinking of it.
BAHA since 7/20/10 ... really helps w/ hearing, specially after programming in subliminal message: "Hey, don't listen to your tinnitus!"
