Eric, I believe that Dudley found himself in a rare mode of seriousness. And, I'm sure that he doesn't regret that.
However, on any average, normal, run of the mill day, Dud will turn you inside out. I'm still about half off base from an E-Mail he sent me 3 or 4 months ago. He still has me confused and that was his intent. The problem is that he didn't even have to work to set the trap that I blundered and kinda slid into. Dang, that guy has a malevolent sense of humor. Yep, Dud is evil.
