Oh c'mon people, can't I (or Mike) get *ANY* respect for our
restraint? We haven't jumped on this and mentioned (again for the 10,

comments about Lenny walking a few behind (name of LennyBoy). We're
behaving, dammit!

And, see, no snippet about Lenny as a young intern sleeping with JFK..

Just no respect I tell you.

BTW, I want to start a new website: www.hireawalkingboss.com
Watch "Cool Hand Luke" if you don't get the reference. Watch it if you
do.
