Petey, did you get paid by Emergency Medical Technicians? Or does my Yankee brain also translate EMT to be Electronic Money Transfer? You know I just had to ask!!

Geez, are all people from Kentucky this slow? Of course I mean "Emergency Medical Technicians". [-(


"Electronic Money Transfer"... What a ridiculous thought.... :smurf:

PS: Believe it or not, it's actually "Email Money Transfer". I argued with the bank teller until she showed me the definition on the bank website. It was, mind you, a canadian bank .... :-k
