I've never had any desire to meet 'THEM'.  THEY always have something to say about everything....and I want to know who told them they were right.

Goph- I can imagine one of the more difficult decisions about retirement was...

Rofl.  Yes!
 
 Pity that Goph's office lacked the good office supplies.
