| Now that we've got a match, I'm happy. I don't really hate Sam (well,
not that much), or you. Just needed to keep you folks occupied during
the election--what do you think this has all been about?--and it's too
late to back out without losing face.
Sorry about the "XXXXface," Larry--one does what one needs to do to
close the deal. Dickhead? Perhaps...but XXXXface is too harsh.
If Sam wins the match and gets $1,000 for his family, there's an
unexpected benefit for him.
If I win, the money goes to charity--that's OK, too.
What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?
