My "Three Sons" ( Orange Male Cats), Mojo, Merlin & Napoleon, all try to jump on the window sill at the same time, when they hear birds chirping outside. They always knock down the window shades when they do. It happens so many times during the day that I keep a ladder in the living room, so I can put the shades back up. When a fly comes into the house, they all jump up and down and follow it from room to room trying to kill it knocking over lamps, furniture and whatever isn't nailed down. I call them "My Commandos". I don't mind because I love them!

Maybe it is none of my business but, "To Err is Human, to Forgive is Divine". Can't you just bypass a "Typos" every once in awhile?

The film that comes to mind for me is a little more modern, 1987's "Wall Street" with Michael Douglas & Charlie Sheen. When Douglas as Gordon Gekko declares "Greed is Good", he hit the nail on the head for the attitude of "The Street". Dealing with Tender Offers at the time when this movie came out in the Reorganization Department for a major Bank in New York, I could relate to a "Takeover" of a smaller company by a larger firm. (Big Fish eating the Little Fish). I saw first hand the back-stabbing and often cruel treatment used by people, to either make money or get promotions. Thank God those days are over for me, but if I want to remember the atmosphere of the jungle, I throw in my copy of "Wall Street".
