Joe, someday, mark my words, you'll be using the term "kid" to describe anyone under 40.

At work, "kid" is a term of endearment. So is "dad". Age isn't a factor in either term. It's complicated.
Whoops. I'm drunk.

I giggled when someone dropped a rabid ferret down my shorts
Oh, well, come on, you can't just hanging here - it was a rabid ferret? Pull up a stool, grab a beer, and let's have the story behind that one!
:beer:
Whew....made me have to log in to see who was picking on my buddy!!!! I haven't gotten into a hissing match on here since the War Room. lol
A "hissing" match? Dunno about those, but we've got a coupla pizzing matches going on here and there...
edit: (Just realized why you said "hissing". Duh. Momma never did say I was the smart one.)
