[Vision2020] Duck Hunters

[Wayne Price]

Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay!

There you go getting all screwed up in the facts again!  Don't you  
know by now that SOME folks on this list  never let facts get in their  
way when it comes to a great story?

Besides, I have a feeling that one of those duck hunters may have had  
a relative that might even know somebody the goes to Christ Church, so  
it serves them right! *S*
