Quid Pro Quo

Sounds like me except for the whole "an extreme intuition about all things mechanical and electrical" part.

...and chemical...

I'm only missing the mechanical and electrical parts of The Knack. My mom traded her prenatal vitamins for Vodka and cigars, and it think it has been down hill from there. I too, when young, disassembled phones, TVs . . . but I was looking for edible things. I was 10 years old before I realised my given name was not George, George, George. My wife, kids, and even the dog charge me a buck every time I use the word 'analyze'. Their beach front condo in Fiji is almost finished. I have a better way of doing EVRYTHING. Did you know that if you store Beanie-Weenies upside down for a few days at 23.7*C you get a surprise after you eat all the beanies. You get . . the Weenie ! Suspiciously, I have heard this very exclamation from my mother in-law whilst speaking to my wife.

I must go now . . . my wife is leaving for work (I work from home) and she and kids duct tape my fingers together so when they come home there is a fighting chance the coffee pot won't ring when friends call . . . . .
