Mud Cake or Turtle Pie. We asked what it was,

I use the line from The Addams Family movie where Wednesday asks a
couple of girls selling Girl Scout cookies, "Are they made out of real
girl scouts" and use a line like that from time to time so I would ask
"Is that made from real mud?" or "Is that made with real turtles?"

I think it has to do with having more room and crammed into one

spot hours at a time.

You're probably right.

Of course I'm right, moderators are never wrong. :)
One time I was talking with someone at work about something and the
other person asked if I were sure. I held my head up, sniffed and said I
was and added, "Lieutenants are never wrong". <vbg>

I've used the same one for years and know most of the poll

workers, by sight if not name.

Like that judge with you on jury duty?? <g,d,r>

Working in security for many years I "hobnob" with folks many people
never meet, or if they do its on a more "professional" basis (cops,
judges, etc). After seeing them a while one gets used to 'em. One fella
I know is a retired federal judge.
One time working a basketball game I was looking for someone (to relay
a message) at a reception for big wigs. I was speaking to someone I knew
and I sometimes talk with my hands (I always joke there's an Italian
somewhere in the family) and I accidentally elbowed this fella standing
next to me in the back of his ribs. I apologized and the fella turned
around and he was a senator from WV (and former governor). I "made an impression" on him that evening. :)
(I also went to college with a close relative of his, I think a
brother or cousin. He comes from a very large family. One time his
uncle A. James Manchin (old time Southern politician, always in a white
suit, talkative, etc.), was asked on a radio interview show how large his family really was. He replied "In my fathers house are many Manchins".
I nearly drove off the road laughing so hard).

Joe,

There was a QWK Tagline that said "These brownies don't taste anything
like Girl Scouts". :P

As for turtles, they'd probably tell you to "Go To Shell"...then you
could reply "I buy my gas at Exxon, thank you" <G>.

Of course I'm right, moderators are never wrong. :)

Or "I may not always be right...but I'm never wrong". <G>

One of my BBS users a long time ago was a judge in Pulaski County
Circuit Court...although I didn't sit as a juror under him.

If you were he might have sent you up the river and let the defendant
free. :)

Probably so. I asked him if I should address him as "Your Honor", and
he said "Not necessary outside the courtroom". I would've loved to have
met him.

A couple of summers ago I ran into the retired federal judge I know at
the store. We were both on our bikes and going in the same direction and talked as we rode along.
At a corner he ran a stop sign.
I said I was going to have to write him a citation for that.
He replied I was out of my jurisdiction.
I said I knew people in the city.
He replied he knew people above the city.
I said in that case I would let him off with a warning. :)
