I might have if I had seen one...heck I might have even suggested to my
girlfriends to go over the registry and check him out...I might have even told
my homosexual buddies too if I thought they would be interested.  Nothing like
a PYT (pretty young thing) to brighten one's day. :-)

I didn't take offense at that statement at all, and I don't see anything
politcally uncorrect about this at all.  It was just an observation, and not a
detrimental one at all, IMHO.

I haven't had too many problems with the registry either, most of the time I've
gone it has been a fairly quick trip (in and out in 10 minutes).
