To Matt is sola scriptura

[Otmer]

It is all in the attitude - there are several in these forums that have problems with me - that's their problem and they can keep it - Most, however, have shown me nothing but respect -

You did remind me of something that happened to me a couple of years ago - I was working in a business to business situation that took me into many different type of businesses (From churches to bars).

I walked into a motorcycle pub and the Hell's Angels were there in full force. I had my leather bound briefcase in my hand and there were about 30 - 40 bikers there. One was behind the door with a club and showed me the most pleasant GLARE - Grrrrr. Another, dressed in leather with a doo rag on his head din't so anything but growl.

I am not a very large man - 5'8" - 190 lbs - 45" in the chest - 34" at the waist (You guys in Britain will have to do your own calculations)

I walked over to a desk and the guy behind it said "I don't give a %$%^ what you're selling; We don't need it!

I said, "I have an appointment with Elwood - which one of you guys is he?"

He answered, "Elwood don't want nuthin either! ... and He ain't here!"

I said, "Fine" and started to leave.

Then the guy behind the desk asked, "What the ^%$^ are you selling anyway?"

O said, "Nothing ... I am from Publisher's Clearing House and I had a check for Ten Million Dollars to present to him ... now leave me alone so I can call my camera crew before they get here and tell them to head to the next destination in Tennessee (We were in Georgia).

The place exploded with "Elwood is gonna kill us!" ... "Oh god - are we in trouble!!!!!!" - Was still going on as I drove off the lot. "Hey mister! Let me call Elwood! ... Please? ... Sir?

I am still grinning every time I think of that night.

colvin5776 is the poster who precipitated my decision to sign up for the FFF. His dad, Don, and I were close friends way back when. Don Colvin: what a man he was!
