      Leslie? :rolleyes: :laugh:

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        "I'm going to fight for peace, justice and The American Way". Superman - the movie. I was present at the first showing of Superman in Trondheim, Norway. This line was met with a unison roar of laughter from an audience of 1200, followed by a stomp clap that drowned the next few spoken lines.

            I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

            Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

                          Slightly off topic but related to your quote: 50+ years ago in college, my roommate who was in mechanical engineering, said one of his professors advised the class that, when designing machinery for factory floors, be sure to consider the BFH effect. The BFH effect, you ask? That's when a guy on the factory floor decides to adjust the machine with a Big Effing Hammer.

                                It would probably make him feel good then that we recently had an incident where the guy missed with his BFH and hit himself. :laugh: (no worries, just a bruise btw)

                                    This, from the same scene as the Francis quote in Stripes. "There was one?" My brother and I use it whenever we describe gettting into a nonsense conversation. Full Quote:

                                    Quote:

                                    Cruiser : I joined the army 'cause my father and my brother were in the army. I thought I'd better join before I got drafted. Sergeant Hulka : Son, there ain't no draft no more. Cruiser : There was one?

                                          Not a movie, but I prefer the late, great pTerry version:

                                          Cohen the Barbarian, The Light Fantastic - Wikipedia[^] :

                                          The barbarian chieftain said: “What then are the greatest things that a man may find in life?” This is the sort of thing you’re supposed to say to maintain steppecred in barbarian circles. The man on his right thoughtfully drank his cocktail of mare’s milk and snowcat blood, and spoke thus: “The crisp horizon of the steppe, the wind in your hair, a fresh horse under you.” The man on his left said: “The cry of the white eagle in the heights, the fall of snow in the forest, a true arrow in your bow.” The chieftain nodded, and said: “Surely it is the sight of your enemy slain, the humiliation of his tribe and the lamentation of his women.” There was a general murmur of whiskery approval at this outrageous display. Then the chieftain turned respectfully to his guest, a small figure carefully warming his chilblains by the fire, and said: “But our guest, whose name is legend, must tell us truly: What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?” The guest paused in the middle of another unsuccessful attempt to light up. “What shay?” he said, toothlessly. “I said: What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?” The warriors leaned closer. This should be worth hearing. The guest thought long and hard and then said, with deliberation: “Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper.”
