<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not a she. When you said a certain stage in
life I thought you meant my life (so my name would be on the guarantee) not just
anyone's life and also that you might put down a specific number in years.
Chances are neither of us will be around by 2101. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A guarantee can have legal consequences, you
realise don't you? Are you sure you want to make it? If you do, its not
Greenwich Time that matters its what jurisdiction you are making the
promise from that matters as that would be location in which the
meaning of the guarantee would be adduced. Careful though, do you really
want to put yourself in my debt? I might turn up in your neck of the woods with
the proof that I am me and ask you to make good on your guarantee and you might
have to pay. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Sworn this day of December 15th, 2005. The bearer is hereby
promised after printing this guarantee he or she will at some later stage
in life attain increased inner peace by acceptance of the now
apparent fact that nationalism and gross oppression will
persist in concert for the duration of most of this century. It is also
collaterally understood that manhood and warfare are directly
linked.</DIV>
