I love all things rhubarb.
I used to horsewhip my editor all the time - or maybe it was a hallucination.
Egan - That explains your ability to leap marathons in a single bound !
Joe - most editors need a good horsewhipping to keep them in line ;)
Rhubarb? Are you saying rhubarb powers my bum and makes me run faster? I will investigate this.
Egan - Rhubabr is the secret power source for all superheros...just ask Flatulence Man :P
