Reminds me of a recent hike in Colorado.  As a family approached from the 
opposite direction, a little girl, tired from the heat, trudged forward to 
ask, "How long have you been hiking?"  Trying to be as helpful as I possibly 
can, I replied, "Since I was a little boy, just about your age!"

A bit later, two adults inquired as to the remaining distance along the trail 
to the lake from which I had just come.  I said, "It's about a 20 minute 
walk.  But I gotta warn ya, I'm a CPA, and with all the scandals about my 
profession nowadays, I'm not sure you should believe anything I say!"

Happy trails,

Solar Bear
