Adding to the phun, I have to tell you one of the head honchos at the 
local Bank of America is named Kelli Crook.

Tobie is right about the phone book. When I was attending the Community 
College in Spokane, the teacher of the creative writing class gave us a 
fun assignment: we were to make up a goofy family tree, using only names 
we'd found in the phone book. My prize name was Dick B. Colosso. I swear it.

The following year, I happened to mention the story to a friend. "Get 
out of here," he said. "No way!" So, of course, I grabbed a phone book 
to prove my veracity. Evidently someone had enlightened Mr. Colosso in 
the meantime because he'd changed the listing to Richard.

Some people just have no sense of adventure.

Either that or his wife had to field too many calls from lustful wicked 
wimmen.

Hugs, Dee...
