Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

ETA

Which gets me to thinking. (dangerous, i know) But, if we were to sell all that stuff, and all the other stuff that were "gifts" how quickly would we be out of debt? Imagine the possibilities!

Status: offline 		while you may not agree with the accuracy of such titles, Hunky.. they ARE still the recognized titles.

Just as the title of The President should be honored .. for the TITLE, if not the person, so should be the titles of His Excellency, etc.. for the TITLE if not the person.

and in the gift giving situation, it is one TITLE giving another TITLE a gift.

Sounds like a bunch of egotistical ego stroking to me.

Imagine if the U.S. was set up like Great Britian; "From the Duchy of Boston, a case of lobsters from "Your Wicked Fuckin' Pissa-ness" Gov Smith."

What is the fourth column in the list for? I note that it says exactly the same thing for virtually every item. They may as well add a fifth column and put in it 'This is the fifth column information for this item.'

Typical bureaucrats.
