GDG- Lefty's

Sun Jan 15 19:35:25 CST 2012

Well thank you Jeff-  Tried to find that but couldn't get  the link to work.

If you say that there is a website that says the quote  attributed to Joe 
Friday is false I will no longer attribute it to  Dragnet.

Thank you for the correction.

I did not know...

It  amazes me that one who says he only wants the truth refuses solid  
evedence  of said truth.

Namaste
