Someone is being a smart ass a...No, it's not right. Someone is being a smart ass and that's where he needs to be kicked. <BR/><BR/>If all you went through as a child are fire drills then you are lucky. As you know, I'm a COUPLE years older than you and was Stuart's age at the height of the Cold War, when Brezhnev was threatening us all with nuclear annihilation. We were taught to stop, drop and roll, which we all knew, even at that young age, was futile because NO ONE would survive a nuclear bomb. I was afraid of death for years when I was in elementary school. Seems crazy times just evolve into another kind of craziness. <BR/><BR/>I hope the crank caller gets caught and that Stu is able to overcome any trauma he's suffered. Poor little guy.
