snrub, no joke. This thread did take a weird turn.
But as I sit here waiting for things to warm up a smidge, I was reminded of Robert A. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land".
To paraphrase, "Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of a Nebraskan, Thomas Hudson, born and educated in Lincoln NE, who arrives in Texas with ''psi'' powers -- telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others -- and complete innocence regarding the mores of man."
TJ will be fine as long as he patiently waits in line, and remembers the eye contact thing.
Now I'm going to be all day looking up what all those words mean.

I knew better than joining a site filled with intellecueallls.
