The old muleskinner rents him a pack mule. Three times he ties a pack to the mule, loads his stuff on, and three times the mule exhales and everything falls off. Finally, he takes the mule, and drags his stuff, back to the old muleskinner, and complains, "I thought you told me this mule was easy-going, and would do what I told him! The old muleskinner looks around, picks up a stout branch, whirls around, and *WHACKS* the mule right between the eyes. He then picks up the greenhorn's stuff and loads it on the mule with no problem. "But, but..." the greenhorn stutters, "I thought you told me he'd do what I wanted!" The old muleskinner replied, "He will... but sometimes, you just have to get his attention." I want to *WHACK* Poettering between the eyes, and get his attention. Maybe that would get past his self-centered self-importance. mark
