    Talking Laughed heartily...

    The other evening I was recovering the store where I work and had a stack of books in my hand. I saw this and laughed out loud...

    Perhaps one of tech-capable brethren can post the cover...

    Rats! I thought it was going to be some kind of really cool book about kilts!

    I loved the back cover... sort of stuff that'll get the mrs. all hot and bothered...



    Upon closer inspection, I can't make out the kilt he has on - unless it's a black kilt and hose... but it doesn't go with the knee-high boots he has on...

    I just hate it when people use my likeness for book covers without paying me royalties.

    Best regards,

    37 years together and I found out you are correct on that! I wrapped one of my SWK thrifties on (by itself) to take out the trash, and was interrupted by Herself as I came back in. Never did finish the rest of whatever it was I was doing!

    Well, I can see I'm going to have to talk with my lawyers. I didn't give them permission to use my image on those books.
