No, bobv appears to be a TWO post wonder.

Just kidding, Bob.

Funny you should ask......

I had blood drawn and a checkup just last week, and I had to go back this week to discuss the results with my doctor. Instead of wearing my "doctor's appointment uniform" of loose fitting shorts, t-shirt, sandals, and a Versipack with a gun in it, I was wearing regular street clothes with a holstered gun. The nurse asked me to step up on the scale. Now I know that I'm going to weigh 5 lbs more than I did just a couple of days before, so I said "well, I've got a ton of stuff in my pocket that you don't really want to weigh." She says, "that's OK, just take it all out and set it here on the counter."

I said, "no, the problem is that I can't just take everything out and lay it down there in public. That would be illegal." She looked at me, paused, then understanding crossed her face, and she grinned and said "OH! Never mind. don't worry about the scale. Just follow me into this room please."
