value to you.

Off the cuff remarks are more the norm than the exception when some

person on the Hot Seat doesn't have a good grasp of the subject and

doesn't have advance knowledge of the questions they are gonna be asked

to respond to .. but Humma-Humma and Schuffle-Schuffle shouldn't be the

norm. If they know the subject all they gotta do is slow down .. take a

breath or three .. and think out the answer. If they don't know the

subject they oughta not have their butt in the Hot Seat in the first

place. ;-)

 

> As a matter of interest, how many words per minute do you type??

 

Damned if I know .. long time ago afore I learned how to use a PC, I

could do around 80 WPM on an IBM Selectric II typewriter .. but I reckon

maybe I've slowed down a bit as I have become older. ;-)

Yes'mam .. and to you.

Who is sitting here typing at 0320 in the morning while listening to a

dude walk down the street beating his drum and waking folks up so they

can chow down early .. cause we're into Ramazan (Ramadan) here. Lots of

folks complain about that since we have clocks now .. it does wake up

babies and old folks and sick folks and such .. but its an old tradition

and not a lot different than church bells ringing so loud that it wakes

the folks in the graveyard. Still .. I have had the urge to shoot a

hole in this dude's drum. ;-)
