lol...  You were the local hero, the go-to guy.  You and John Tobin.

I still remember John Tobin coming in one day after a session with a 
granite shed down the road.  John was visibly agitated...

"We just went live with payroll and one guy's pay is off by $2.00.  Come 
to find out they had a business rule that if you washed Mr Kelly's car 
during the Depression you get an extra nickle an hour.  They told me 
that and I just walked out. &*^(%$*&$$  Not sure if I'll ever go back."  
He did though.
