   You do have a point.

   Happens all the time. Especially for me now, when I'm on this half   
   vacation in spain. My end of the week is defined by my customers and   
   business partners not responding, and my work week starts when they   
   respond. Dates mean nothing to me! ;)

   Tsss.... if we wants your money, _he_ should come to _you_! Just sit   
   back, and relax, and eventually someone from the government will be   
   there to help you!

   Ahh... but let me propose that you send them an email instead! Then you   
   always include a "happy smiley" and surely they will melt and give you   
   the best of service! ;)

   Never say never! If you eat your vegetables and walk your dog every day   
   I'm sure you'll last til 100! =)
