On a different note, thanks @Jer for posting. I've been wondering about you and your family and hoping that meant good things. Sorry it's not been that, and yet we're all here because of you. Take a bow! And ignore the peons.
Again, I am skimming too quickly and not reading posts for understanding. I thought you said, "I usually strike up conversations with plants and rabbits when they walk in bars,...." and I wondered what the punch line of the joke was.
