Coal
-
Disclaimer Keep in mind...this email was written by a father of 2 young children, one of which can read. :) In the US (I only say "In the US", because I'm ignorant of customs in other countries), Santa will bring lumps of coal to naughty children. Gifts to the nice ones. If any, how many of you all have received such a gift of coal? I know, that as a small child my brother in law was unfortunate enough to get some coal. Although, Santa did leave several "Better" gifts for his parents to give at a later time. I'm pretty sure that right now its tomorrow in OZ, and several other places...so Happy Christmas Eve to all, and Happy Holidays! As Col. Potter said in M.A.S.H. "May the new year be a damn sight better than the last.". Cheers all, Frank

My kids are way to fragile to survive the point of being given coal, although I've considered it.

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002 -

It was a treat for me, as in CA coal is practically non-existent. I took it to school for show-and-tell...

I probably deserved to get nothing but coal but my parents always sorted me out in the end. :-D That santa guy is really lenient when he visited my house :-) Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Brian Delahunty wrote: Ok. Your taking the piss now, right??? Not at all! Coal isn't used in CA for heating (or anything else I know of), nor is it mined there. US coal deposits (and consumers) are in the eastern part of the country. The nearest thing to coal I can get here is a wet slurry piped in from somewhere back east to fire the power plant across the river from me.:) "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)
