Fred Simms wishes to remind his gallant foe about
articles IV.6.d. and IV.7.j in our rules of engagement.

Fred has a morbid fear of snakes in tall grass, and refuses
to participate on any battlefield less well manicured than
the All-England Cricket Club.

In fact, Fred was quoted in a recent television interview with
Inside R-C on the Outdoor Channel that "Our Contest
Directors have been selecting battlefields that are only suited
for agricultural machinery rather than sophisticated high-tech
vehicles like the SAQ."

In response to the slanderous use of the word "impotence",
ask Barbie (the Harlot) whom she prefers, the General or Fred.
