	Is that sugar in the bottom of the tank?

Why would I put sugar in there? 2. Sugar granules would melt in water. Bet you have heard a few pearlers too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

I don't know how it works because I never read the discussions, but it sounds pretty nifty. I know what you mean, though. I wear an extremely obvious shirt at work ("Staff" in bright yellow letters on the back, logo on front) and people still ask me "Do you work here?" I'm not even going to go into their fish questions. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

UMM, you need to call DMV about that. Then I get argued with that I am DMV. I really think I know who I work for! I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. ~ Mae West

When I'm out working on the property, with a golf cart and trailer, cleaning, folks walk or drive up to me "Hi, do you work here?" I've gotten to saying "Only when my wife catches me." OR, "Thank for calling Public Storage at 6th and Wadsworth, This is Frank, how may I help you?" "Are you the one at 6th and Sheridan?"
