Is it just me?

Bill, that guy must love old geezers like you.  I'd be a great mailman too, if I only had to deliver junk mail, early bird special coupons, and 1 or 2 cards to a shut in.  We went to one party where the lady had about 11 Christmas trees in her house all w/different themes.  She is really big on decorating for Christmas, has 1/2 of her basement full of decorations.  Now when I go into other peoples houses, I can't help but look at their tree and be critical.  I'm amazed by how many Jewish people put up trees. A friend of mine was driving home one day when I called him and he was grumbling about bringing home a tree.  I asked him why he was doing it.  He said "John, do you really think Jewboy wants this think strapped to the roof of his SUV? my wife makes me do it, you idiot."

I laughed.  

Our tree is the same little plastic thing we put up on a table in front of a window every year (so it looks like a big tree from outside)  This year we had a bunch of presents, such as antibiotics, flea and heart worm preventative, sterile surgical material and other miscellaneous inventory beneath it due to the current basement renovation.  Add that to the fact that it assembles and dissembles in about 2 hrs, and I'm never getting rid of it.  (Our basement is currently being renovated for a home office)-nice guy doing it too, engineer from Wisconsin.  He eats cigarettes and coffee w/no milk, is in his late 50s, and mixes cement in temperatures just above freezing, plumbing/electricity sheet rock, framing, and moves gas lines all in one, quite the handyman.  That and the fact that he can contour framing onto granite rock makes him pretty talented.
