Sorry to hear that, John. But not surprised. I can hear the wheels rolling
as they get your call:

"He says his name is John and he wants to feed the hungry in New Orleans.
Hmmm, who's gonna get in trouble if we let him in and 1200 people die next
week of ptomaine poisoning?"

Or

"Lets see, we send him down their in his rolling lunchwagon and he gets
robbed by some guy who wanted a sweeter BBQ sauce. Who's gonna pay for
that?"

I'll match Carl's contribution with the same request. If you don't do it,
send the money to a charity of your choice.
