REFLECTOR:Fw: [Canards] Sun and Fun Pics

[Dale W. Thomas]

You might also reflect back on your college days and summons up your best
'lawyer-like' oratorical skills and make a compelling argument to your
jury of one....   Oh..... she's already seen through that scheme, huh?

Well, it was worth a try.....   ;-)
