Gene, - dirty smelly deadhead freak and we love him for that.
ROFL @ fighting over tea pot. I've got to tell a story.
There was a large celebration one evening as my sifu's oldest student was made a sifu himself. The school sihings (myself inc.) were sitting around a large table awaiting dinner. As soon as the waitress put the pot on the table there were 4 hands on the very hot pot each refusing to let go. It was like a scene from the cartoons featuring the polite chipmunks. "Oh no sir, I insist, no no after you.. Allow me please" as we each tried to muscle the pot to our hand. After about a minute of rising voices and gleaming eyes, Sifu finally Ordered us to let go and he would pour the tea. My burnt hand was secetly very happy..
Finally a truly kungfu conversation.
