-The StovesA good friend of mine used to work as an intern for a manufacturing plant in Kentucky. He spent a good deal of time at the local library, considering there wasn't much else to do out there. After his internship, he returned home but accidentally brought a bunch of books from the local library back with him. When he went back for his next internship with the company the next year, they were waiting for him. Being a small library, they were really pissed that he had absconded across state borders with so many books (probably 10 or so). He was prosecuted and everything. Luckily for him he got out of the charges because the DA couldn't prove what he had taken were books. rimshot -- Russell Morris "So, broccoli, mother says you're good for me... but I'm afraid I'm no good for you!" - Stewy

>DA couldn't prove what he had taken were books. That's awfully confusing or has the DA never seen a book in his life? regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?

Get out of your cube and have a :beer:, Paul ;) The joke is that Kentucky is so hick that a DA couldn't prove to twelve Kentuckians that those things were 'books'. Perhaps it's a lame joke - it's hard to get the delivery right in ASCII :-O:-O:-O -- Russell Morris "So, broccoli, mother says you're good for me... but I'm afraid I'm no good for you!" - Stewy

-The StovesAs a proud resident of Lexington, I must take issue with the disparagement of my town. The Lexington Public Library (http://www.lexpublib.org/[^]) is quite good. It has six branches with the newest, the Beaumont Branch built in a style reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright (http://www.lexpublib.org/libinfo/beaumontbranch.cfm[^]). As to the prosecution of the book-napper, I have no knowledge, so no comment. As to livability, Lexington is located in rolling hills of bluegrass - which is why there are so many horse farms here. Here is a comparison of livability metrics for your perusal: (comparison)[^]. Note that Lexington has far more college grads, and graduate degree holders than the national average. Its relatively inexpensive to live here with a great healthcare system. Overall, Lexington is a great place to live. I invite everyone to come for a visit.

Duke Leto AtreidesI hope my post didn't come off as a put down of Kentucky. :confused: I've driven through KY a few times, and think it's a beautiful place, though admittedly I haven't visited anyplace (yet). Once I get Round TuitTM, though, I'll be up and knocking on your door. ;) I was trying to point a finger at the parcel service. BW The Biggest Loser
