YAWN! What? A very British joke there Chris. I understand exactly the British Public School allusion of the joke, but our American cousins may be somewhat confused. Useless information for our American colleagues - In Britain "Public School" is actually private - crazy isn't it - but perhaps part of what makes Britain such an interesting place. Regards to All - keep crunching. Tom |

Penmanship, what a nice word. A la Bart Simpson perhaps? |

YAWN! What? Remembering my grade-school days in the '50s and '60s..... My mind still wanders off, I have to keep it on a 2-parsec leash. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

YAWN! What? They beat me for mine. Or was that because I held the pen in the wrong hand? |

It is a conspiracy so you will buy 3 packages of hotdogs and 4 packages of buns. |

146,752. Why do hot dogs come in packages of 8, and the buns in packages of 6? Where are you guys from? My hot dog buns always come in packs of 8, they sync up nicely with the hot dogs. |

we get 10 hotdogs in a pack and 8 buns. that forces me to buy 4 packs of hotdogs and 5 buns to keep the count even In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

The Mods and I would like to thank you for being so civil. NO, thank you! The current crop of Mods differ from one or two former by NOT fanning the flames of frustration. It makes a big difference when y’all aren’t trying to over-ride every little kvetch, trying to force assimilation (ie..making it escalate), rather than allowing them to naturally fizzle-out. |

To be honest, we're just too lazy. :P :) Maybe, but there’s more wisdom to it than you give yourselves credit for. Laissez faire, within reason, perhaps... |
