I was looking in my old hard-copy Webster's dictionary, and the word "gullible" isn't in there. :confused: What's up with that?

Not gullible on this end, so I won't bother to look it up.:D

Kent, all these folks didn't actually look it up.

You are absolutely right, because gullible is not actually a word. It is the family name of an inventor.

You can find it written on the bottom of every GE refrigerator and under the battery in every GM car.

Mr. Kent -

I didn't think they all looked it up, but I did hook a couple fish. Also - may I presume you do not own any GE refridgerators or GM products? Sounds like you took the bait once, eh? I never owned either, so I will take you word for it, and not go looking. heh-heh-heh.
