Zephon....#3 about made me shoot a mouth full of water all over my keyboard-out my nose.

This whole thread reminds me of one of my favorite short stories of all time The Secrert Lifer of Walter Mitty by James Thurber.

If you haven't checked it out...give it a try, it is quick, and rather entertaining (and a bit scary) to those of us who actuall have this happen to them regularly.

(It was also a film made in 1947 starring Danny Kaye that is in the works of being remade by Mike Myers in 2012-originally it had Jim Carrey slated as Walter...)
