| Subject: **Holds out his hand, in turn, cheerily** Ben, which is NOT short for Benjamin **cough** but rather a variation of Neb, which is short for Nebuchadnezzer. I'm captain of the Flying Dutchman, which is just over yonder ,if you'd like to join us! I also have a dog, a Black Lab named Ned, woe betide you if you call him Neddy, and it's a variation of Den, which is short for Denmark, where I was born. Anything at all that Kevin says about me mor my dog is completely untrue until I find out if you can be trusted with the information, and only THEN is it true. |
