Lions and tigers and Wielands, oh my!

Yipes! He did it again, Mandy.  See, I wasn't joking when I told you that
sometimes Wieland's English doesn't come out exactly right all the time.

He wrote:
>Can you laugh a bit about yourself, Mandy? Can you?
>I definitely can! Ask Violet about that!

This is hysterical!  What a gaffe.  He was not, IN ANY WAY, trying to say
that he can definitely laugh about you!  This came out so funny and wrong
that I laughed out loud. :)  He of course meant that he can laugh at
HIMSELF and that you should ask me to confirm that.  So I'm confirming
that.  Wieland is the last person to take himself seriously, even though he
may seem to be a little formal sometimes.  He's really not at all.  It's
just the nasty old "English As a Second Language" getting in the way.  Just
ask "George the Wipe." ;>  Wieland,  shall we tell everybody that we now
know what that's about, or would it be too embarrassing?
