You can't argue with geometry
Just last weekend my wife was trying to coerce talk me into some chores.
SuperMom: "Now would be a good time to mow the lawn."
Turtle: "Actually, it's 11:30 and about 10,000 degrees outside with 90% humidity. It's not the first thing on my to-do list."
SuperMom: "Really? What else is on your list?"
Turtle: "Let's see. I have to do some plumbing outside - too hot. I need to do some wiring in the attic - too hot. I need to sand, primer, and paint the bedroom ceiling - too hot and dusty, and you and Munchkin are here. I need to clean the gutters, dig up the old fence posts, bury pavers under the new fence to keep the dogs from digging out, add the expansion tank to the solar water heater...."
SuperMom: "So which is at the top of your list?"
Turtle: "Well, none, really."
SuperMom: "What kind of list has no beginning?!"
Turtle: "It's a.......a circle!"

You've obviously been wiretapping my home and listening to conversations between my husband and I . I appreciate how you kept us anonymous by pretending it was *you* that had that conversation. ;)

Don - Although it feels unique, it is starting to gain a universal ring to it, but then I guess math is the one universal language...
Faiqa - Although I am our company's data/telecom/TV/satellite/computer guru I deny all official allegations of wiretapping.
Flashtrigger - Only if I get to crawl through 20 feet of low-pitch ceiling with sprayed-in insulation and some cobwebs. Usually then I'm getting paid to do it, though.
