I probably shouldn't even reply to this thread, but it just caused me to choke
and spit Quaker oatmeal [1] at my Mac.
three words:
Ain't

But if it did, I can imagine... the news cameras surrounding us, microphones, a
reporter screaming, "Suzanne! you just got a check for a million dollars! What
are you going to do now?!"
"I'm going to Legoland!!"
and take you all with me. That'd be one heck of a party.
