An amusing former co-worker included this in his birthday greeting via email:
"And finally, Tina,
> you’re not going to believe this, but we’ve
> managed, thanks to the wonders of psychic
> tele-transportation, to bring Lizzie Borden back to life,
> and here she is stepping out from behind our mystery guest
> curtain. Um, with what looks like an axe in her hand! Miss
> Borden, no! Stop! Oh dear . . .
>
> And so another birthday was over for Tina Rouse. Her last,
> as it turned out. But every May 30th for ever after, Tina
> and her bio-buddy Lizzie Borden would make special surprise
> appearances at birthday parties around the world, often
> giving the guests of honour forty whacks to commemorate the
> occasion."
It's nice to know your friends are crazier than you are.

“I am innocent. I leave it to my counsel to speak for me.”
