Absolutely you can. However, using words like inteligenter, strategerization, and superfluis creates the image of a well traveled, learned, and astute man who should not be trifled with. This approach got me to where I am today.

Gravity had nothing to do with my rise position to Head Sanitation Engineer good sir. As a matter of fact, gravity is the exact opposite of rise.

Happy, if you do have gravitas let me know.   I think I still have some of that ointment the Doctor prescribed for me when I had it.  Cleared it right up.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

I'll bet you never had it.  Probably misdiagnosed. With gravitas you either have it for life or never had it in the first place.  The ointment was obviously a placebo. Don't fall for it Happy.

I occasionally sip on a clear liquid that comes in mason jars. It's been said to cure everything from dixlexia to hammmertoe. I think I will be ok.

I also prosecuted a father/son team from the Natchez area for tresspassing and shooting a bird.

Game Warden says in this area its Arkansas #1 and Mississippi #2 for violations. Yall must be raising them right in the bible belt.

"The 15 people charged racked up about $100,000 worth of fines between them, with Kenneth, the ring leader, charged with $37,354 of it. He was also banned from hunting or fishing for 5 years. Others in the ring were banned for 2-4 years. Several of the co-conspirators charged were spouses to the poachers; they were picking up and dropping off."

If they aren't banned from hunting and fishing in those states for life, then they should be banned until they pay off every cent of their fines.  None of this $5 a month crap!  :angry9:

I live in the area mentioned, but the difference in me and those fellow " Bible Belt" members is the fact that my mom taught me the " Bible " and my dad often used his " Belt " !!
