A quote from Johann who when asked whether he wore boxers or briefs replied "Depends."

Dr. Gollin,
No matter what scrabbling and squeaking occurs in the DLT squirrel cage, I don't care -- even if I were to hear the occasional new squeak that sounded like "Johann."
One thing did catch my eye, long ago, George - they were comparing you to Abraham Lincoln. It started with something like "Abe Lincoln - born in Illinois; George Gollin - works in Illinois."
Don't they know Abraham Lincoln was NOT born in Illinois? He was born in Kentucky and later raised in Indiana. He moved to Illinois - still with his family - when he was 21. How come it takes a non-American, like me, to correct them? Obviously, they slept through history like the rest of their classes.

Which, of course, is why Kentucky is known as the Land of Lincoln.

Do you think Lincoln was ever asked to produce a birth certificate? I don't suppose anyone found the long form. Guess we better look for the records in Kentucky.

Relax Johann...you may brown-nose until the cows come home, "the gang"
will STILL consider you an idiot...can't you see they despise one another? Wake up folks...it may be good to sell more books, to get a CHEA chair, to build a facade hiding gay teen fairies who cram the last garage sale up their love nest...but that's ALL it is ever good for.

Johann missed the real joke. Gollin hasn't done any work in 20 years!
