For me, right now, it's about the Office and how we do things. It's also a part of history, so it's worth watching just for that.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #2 June 9, 2004 You do know there are probably three people on dz.com that know what a caisson is, and we're two of them, right? "Funeral Procession" might be easier to follow.
