[PrintOwners] I don't make this stuff up (OFF)

[Scott Cappel]

I wish people Merry Christmas.

I don't really care if their Jewish, or Muslim or Hindu.

They should figure out that I mean them well.

If they cant get past being "offended", then they're just wound to 
tight and that's not my problem.

So...Merry Chistmas.
