Hey, Bill (& Jami, too!)...this one's for you! (heh, heh)
YOU'RE TAKING GENEALOGY TOO SERIOUSLY IF....
*You are the only person to show up at the cemetery research party with a shovel.
*To put the 'final touches' on your genealogical research, you've asked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA samples.
*You were instrumental in having 'non-genealogical use of the genealogy room copy machine' classifled as a federal hate crime.
*Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogical records are stored.
*You decided to take a two-week break from genealogy, and the US Post Office immediately laid off 1,500 employees.
*Out of respect for your best friend's unquestioned reputation for honesty and integrity, you are willing to turn off that noisy surveillance camera while he reviews your 38 genealogical research notebooks in your home. The armed security guard, however, will remain.
*You plod merrily along 'refining' your recently published family history, blissfully unaware that the number of errata pages now far exceeds the number of pages in your original publication.
*During an ice storm and power outage, you ignore the pleas of your shivering spouse and place your last quilt around that 1886 photograph of dear Uncle Michael.
*The most recent document in your 'Missing Ancestors' file is a 36-page contract between you and the Jones Billboard Advertising Company.
*'A Loving Family' and 'Financial Security' have moved up to second and third, respectively, on your list of life's goals, but still lag behind 'Owning My Own Microfilm Reader.'
*A magical genie appears and agrees to grant your any one wish, and you ask that the 1890 census be restored.
