Across the land they often chat
About their Macs, and this and that.
From systems old to Leopard they've come
Helped found TS, where no question is dumb.
And somehow they managed to find a way
To even share their natal day.
Many thanks we have for this special two
Accolades to them are long overdue.
But let's not forget the man in the middle
Whose TS name is quite a riddle.
Though he was born a bit apart
They all have shares in our TS heart.
So to the wise and friendly three
We send our wishes for all to see.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DICK, HARV and TOM !!!

I'll grab this opportunity to say, "Thanks".
What a joy this group has been for me.
What friends I've made here.
Thank you all for that friendship.

[that phrase 'every Tom, Dick, and Harvey' has a familiar ring to it.]
{But of course we Elder members often have a ringing in our ears}
Shalom Guys, keep having them Birthdays, thay are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you will live.
You three deserve to live quite a while longer.

My "present" to Harv the Punster . . .
QUOTE
The ability to Make and Understand Puns Is the Highest Level of Language Development. Here are the ten first place winners in the International Pun Contest:
- 1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.'
- Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says 'Dam'!
- Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
- Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication
- A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. 'But why?', they asked, as they moved off. 'Because,' he said, 'I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer'
- A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to Spain, they name him 'Juan'; the other went to a family in Egypt and is named 'Ahmal.' Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, 'They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal
- A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to 'persuade' them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
- Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
- And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

"You are old, father William," the young man said, "and your hair has become very white; and yet you incessantly stand on your head--do you think, at your age, it is right?"
"In my youth," father William replied to his son, "I feared it might injure the brain; but, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none, why, I do it again and again."
"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before, and you have grown most uncommonly fat; yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door--pray what is the reason for that?"
"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks, "I kept all my limbs very supple. By the use of this ointment - one shilling a box--allow me to sell you a couple?"
"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak for anything tougher than suet; yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak--pray, how did you manage to do it?"
"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law, and argued each case with my wife; and the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw, has lasted the rest of my life."
"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose that your eye was as steady as ever; yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose--what made you so awfully clever?"
"I have answered three questions, and that is enough," said his father. "Don't give yourself airs! Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff? Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs.

So, all I can do now is blame some one else for my lapse and lack of attending to TS, you know I would never be the source of trouble or bad feelings! 
And now, back to the regularly scheduled bestist wishes for the "motley 'cools:'"
Happy Birthday, Tom, Dick and
Now I know why TS has been so successful, most of the founders are actually a set of triplets!
Can't be just a 'coincidence' there must be a conspiracy theory in there somehow!

Sorry I'm late Tom, Dick, and Harv, hope all of you had a great day.
