Why should I say "Cheese"?

No I was talking about wallet fattening, not citizens of another country. My reference usually makes people smile. Your reference depends on circumstances when it comes to smiling. It reminds me of Seinfeld's George Contanza's fat wallet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoPf98i8A0g ... -- Quote of the Week: "After World War III, the ants will still be around." --unknown Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ / Please nuke ANT if replying by e-mail privately.

Guaranteed at least a smirk...* The expression, "honest politician", sounds like an oxymoron. That's a cheesy remark. You could put yourself up on a bill, you know! -- teleportation kills |

In many jurisdictions that would be illegal. I've no idea what you mean by a jurisdiction. A vast land area, like a country or state or province or nation, where a determined set of laws apply, and not others that apply on other lands. Obviously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurisdiction «Jurisdiction (from the Latin ius, iuris meaning "law" and dicere meaning "to speak") is the practical authority granted to a legal body to administer justice within a defined field of responsibility, e.g., Michigan tax law. In federations like the U.S., areas of jurisdiction apply to local, state, and federal levels; e.g. the court has jurisdiction to apply federal law. Colloquially it is used to refer to the geographical area to which such authority applies, e.g. the court has jurisdiction over all of Colorado. The legal term refers only to the granted authority, not to a geographical area.» -- Cheers, Carlos. |
