I didn't know the Seldom Meet User's Group had there own grin.   Is there a
secret handshake too?

I like the mind provoking simplicity of ending with:

Fred: What?  I thought you were still on that old dinosaur system you've
had for the last twenty FIVE years!

Joe:  We are.

My irony department likes:

Joe:   We are.   But it's not my grandmother's dinosaur any more.
