Someone hid a clock in a coffee pot? How big was the clock? Or, for that matter, the coffee pot? Sounds intriguing!<br /><br />As for the racial stereotypes... I've already said what I have to say about them more than once.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.com
