NP "You are telling me!"

[Barbara100]

Cut Jbor a break, huh, Doug? You hear what his Australian Parliament did
the other day to our President? (This is beautiful. It warms my heart to
tell you, even if you already know:) They heckled him! During a speech.
Ha!
I was so pleased with the news, I circled the paragraph for all my
co-workers to read. Balls those Aussies! I love them!
I'd like to extend my personal thanks to Jbor and his fine
representatives. Kudos to Australia!
