Before that, I banked at a bank called the Coolidge Bank, which had some
unbelievably rude and clumsy tellers, before I transferred.  Come to think
of it, they were bought out also?  Do you think there might be a trend?
Especially when you consider that I did a lot of business with the local
Kash and Karry in Tampa, Florida, before _they_ were bought out?  Naah.
Must be a coincidence, like all the fire trucks and ambulances that used
to run by when the local secret communists were trying to harrass me, or
the children that used to fall out of windows in Boston, or that murder
in my condo complex the same day the local secret communists tried to 
bring their harrassment to a local climax.  Or those trucks that used to
overturn on Route 128 after the sham trial when the locals were sent out
to throw rocks at my car on Route 128.  (There were plenty of other truck
`accidents' after that during my travels across country, remember?)
