9. You cant 'hold' people in the buffer longer than a minute or two...

8. I've got a better idea!
I'd let the duplicate stay here and handle my chaotic life, and I'd run off to foreign parts and have sex with *other people* while there... I have a few in mind... :)

12. I'd hand

the poor slob my time card and tell his ass to clock in, then I'd split for a while. If he thinks the job is tough, wait until he get home to the Mrs. :evilgrin:

17. I have sex with myself all the time.
