Really! I did not see that particular strip. I'll have to google it (unless you happen to have it handy and could attach it privately). It would be a real hoot to have - for old times sake.
Since the BF predates the comic strip, and since Scott Adams gets most of his material from individuals sending him their stories (more than he will ever be able to use - or so he says) and since I did not send Scott that story, I might be reasonably safe in concluding that the BF was not as odd in his behavior as one might hope. Maybe it's a "guy" thing. Maybe even a lotta guys.
