I like that one. Did you ever see the cartoon of a surgeon in the operating room with a guy on the table all ready to perform surgery, and the surgeon says to the nurse, “Go to surgery.com and click on the ‘are you totally lost’ link.
kapusta, i’m always trying to get anyone who’s not happy in a happy mood.
no, never saw but lol;)
~a~
me too, and even after I heard (I should say figured out) what I did, I was still trying to cheer people up, but its not working on me. I cant stop thinking about it. 🙁
btw, the real cartoon was better.
kapusta, what’s up? I’m so concerned about you;(

kapusta, don’t you think you’re taking this a little to the extreme? slow death?? gee.
