Sam blamed his impotence on aliens, not on his recent prostate surgery. He had read that stress can cause impotence, and alien abduction is stressful.

Well, I believe it is possible that aliens have grabbed some of us. I particularly like Douglas Adam's theory that alien abductions are a sort of game played by rich-kid aliens - go to some backward planet, grab some local who everyone will laugh at and parade in front of him in weird bodies and show off flashy spaceships.

I also believe it is possible that there are undectable gremlims living in orbit around Jupiter and that cold fusion will be made to work in my life-time.

Whether I believe it is likely is a different matter.

I'm with Tracy. It's possible that all the air molecules in my office will rush out the door spontaneously and simultaneously; it's not the way to bet.

I wonder if aliens have abducted Jim Tuman?

Or Ms. Roth?

Do you like Karen Eismann's Photoshop books?

I, for one, welcome our alien overlords.

I'm afraid that I've very little experience with books on Photoshop. Most of my learning has been empirical or from co-workers. Sorry.
