He was a country singer first. :)

I know - I just thought it was funny that he was singing about biscuits, and now lends his name to sausages.

Not to be confused with Jimmie Dean, a brother of the western singer, songwriter and actor, Eddie Dean.

Not to be confused with James Dean, brooding and dead actor.

Yeah, but I bet he'd have made awesome sausages too.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend!"

The sentence "not one of them works" sounds horrible to me.

I would say "not one of which works".

Vicky

Actually, "not one of whom works" would be more correct.  ;D (I jest!)

ETA: And I'll have some of that cake being bandied about!
