Good levity, Brother Bob. And keeping things on a lighter note - Spiff, I am happy if this legislation and/or court ruling can help your specific situation.

In my ideal world, though, there would be a lot less government interference in people's lives.

And if anyone wants some REAL fireworks, let's open a thread on the recent Supreme Court ruling which states that local governments can force someone to sell his PRIVATE property because a corporation wants to develop that particular plot... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

DON'T YOU DARE! I've already lost enough tooth enamel over that little sneak attack, and I'm not even close to being a Libertarian.

And NOBODY is allowed to start a thread about the replacement of retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and the probably soon to be retired Chief Justice Rehnquist. Don't do it! No! Nein! Nyet! Nada! Zippo! Zero!

Pretty

Jack ... "Zippo" ? - What do lighters have to do with this ??? heh heh.

Chess wants to use one on your pants.

Ouch !

Those things are great in the wind. Would you believe whenever I was in the Army we had a guy get his Zippo (LIGHTER!) ran over by a tracked vehicle and other than a small dent the thing looked new. That's how automobiles ought to be made!

We have for a client the Ford dealership is in Bradford, Pa. ... Home of Zippo lighters. Every two years they have a "swap meet" - people literally come in from all over the world.

And yes, the real Zippo lighters are an amazing piecs of engineering - wind/rain won't phase them, and they are bulletproof.

Hmmm, well this subject certainly turned the thread around and onto a much 'lighter' note.

Just think! You could become a countertenor with The Kings Singers."

(For those who are unaware, a countertenor is one who sings in a VERY high range, sounding much like a female soprano. And The Kings Singers, are a fabulous 6 man accapella vocal group from Kings College, in England, that primarily perform madrigals and the like, with an occasional foray into the pop world, like this. It's all voices. (Be sure your speakers are on)

I think staying with my current career may be a better move ...
