PM> Much as I *hate* to nitpick ,

  Yair, yair, yair... it must really hurt.

 PM> I believe the correct spelling is testosterone, meaning 'from
 PM> the testes'. Tostesterone means 'from the gunk at the bottom of
 PM> the toaster'. I've got a healthy amount of the former, but not
 PM> terribly much of the latter.

  ROFL! From the testes? I can't believe that. I was *sure* it came
from bottom of the toaster. Ever since Haig explained safe sex to me,
where you fiddle the dial of a safe and come into money, I have been 
doing it to the toaster (I don't have a safe) in the hope of coming
into a bit of bread. Of course there is great danger in this. Not only
must one be certain that it is not turned on, but it must not be
plugged in, either. 

 PM> Not a bad idea actually. You'd have to make sure that you got
 PM> some good authors though. Also, you'd be better to have some
 PM> way of printing the book on demand, rather than having to get a
 PM> large print run done and throwing out any that don't sell.

  Printers like to work the other way, and cost the books according to
print run size. A run of 2,000 is about the minimum unless you want to
pay the same and get 200.

 BL> Would you believe the third paragraph?
 PM> I don't think so Max.

  Ah! A fan.

 PM>> And do pennants for one's sins.

 PM> Hey, it's the best I could do on short notice. Actually, it's
 PM> the best I could be on any sort of notice. I'm rather proud of
 PM> it though.

  It was brilliant. In fact, I'll steal it.

 PM> It does, however, appear to have been a bit too cerebral for
 PM> certain others on this BBS.

  What's breakfast food got to do with it?

 PM> I though it was just a bit more diplomatic than "You're full of
 PM> shit". Oops! What a give away :-)

  If you're considering a life in the diplomatic service, don't give
up your day job just yet.

Regards,
Bob
