For one brief moment, I thought "serious".... brief I said, very brief.

You kept me laughing.... and I'm not American (though maybe that helped)

Loved it! You could have also put in "Da Bears" .. but I forgive you, since you used my name instead.
Very talented. Can we hire you out for parties?
:gorgeous:

 

[The Chairman]

I am not the author for MOST of this list... it was simply copy and paste. Obviously, Florida, Oklahoma and Illinois are the exceptions. I do enough funny stuff without having to take credit for other's work. There was no author attached, else I would have posted that. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and surely hope that PADI won't sue me over any damages it thinks I have caused it. On that note, if you see an erroneous entry for your state, please advise someone who actually cares... :tease:
