    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

UPS drops it off, but I must send the DVR back thru Fed EX?

      No no no, not subsidiaries, more like intense competitors. Both terrific companies in my opinion. UPS the old comfortable standby that makes me think of packages being delivered to the house I grew up in at Christmas time. FEDX being the company whose local office I'd frantically scramble to at the last possible second from work when something "absolutely positively had to be there overnight". 100% reliable.

      I would guess that the item is being returned to different lo...
