As a matter of curiosity, when the coconut shell said that Marisa is a ‘functionary like everyone else’ was he suggesting that Euro 40K is the average wage in the glass house.

No wonder they go to such extremes for fund raising!]]></description>

Isard, I copied directly (CTRL + C) from what Charles J wrote to avoid falling into the trap of TYOM or Mltstrta, who apparently are not even capable of copying, but I know what you mean.  You can check the post, anyway.
