Handshake and a back pat
Couldn’t get any smaller than that</EM></p> <P><EM>I’ll do my job and I’ll do my best
It’s up to you to do the rest
What you see, well, that’s just me
But I’ll try to be what you want me to be</EM></p> <P><EM>It’s what you want, it’s what you have.
It’s what you need, you understand.
It don’t come easy and at a price
Just come clean and try to play nice</EM></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/">Well, it’s a start.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/">(transcribed from a paper plate I used while camping):</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3BAA49A5-8AC7-44C2-9B93-FDBEB76339C0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
