[SEL] model, or not to model?

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Dave,

    Not sure if I'm real or not.  Based on some of the comments that 
have been said about me here at the courthouse, its questionable 
(although I think I'm real as I've had a few tell me "you're a 
real....*&$%#").  So, based on that, I think I would fall in the real 
category.  As for old iron, its not a "real" antique as it appeared 
there was an effort to pass it off as such.  Now the question could 
arise of whether or not I'm a real antique or not.  I think not but my 
wife more and more thinks so....... Dave, are you a real "antique"?  (I 
understand that Viagra has done somewhat of a "restoration" on some.....).
