Thanks guyz, Mo, G, Jonezie, GL, et al.  Appreciate your presumption that I might not have been using my best grammar :- )
For Dr. B, Rob, etc, here goes ; - )

1.  Flowers for Algernon the book, or Charly the movie -- as Mo' Dawg says -- involved experimental surgery on first a mouse, and then a human, to raise intelligence.  The mouse gets super-smart, so they try it on the man, who quickly gains like a 250 IQ.  Then everybody looks on in shock as the mouse begins deteriorating.  Charly takes it with good humor, realizing with everybody else that he's going to become a 68-IQ case again.  When the mouse actually dies, and they cry and hug Charly, Charly is back to his 68 IQ and doesn't understand why they're so sad about the mouse.  (In the book, Charly survives, and goes back to work in the little shop where they resented his "holier-than-thou" genius so much.)
2.  Sunday, I hit that point where people were telling me "Man, you should be in bed" and then 12 HOURS LATER I staggered in to write a post for yer Monday morning coffee.  The first sentence was an unthinkable chore ... to amuse myself I decided to just go with it and type it in a 68-IQ style.
3.  The little joke is that even a lobotomized Charly, or 68-IQ Dr. D, would be able to see that Joe Saunders is a AAA pitcher who caught a break.  
4.  Do you think Jeffy would annotate one of HIS posts for you?  I think NOT
5.  "That's very funny to me :- D .... ya'll ain't laughin' though :- / "  ::will smith::
