 PH> ->  PH> I'm doing my dissertation on the topic with the angle that it

 PH> ->
 PH> ->  Is that from the perspective of the tossee? ot the tosser... Wow,
 PH> you could

 PH> ->
 PH> -> Have the thesis professionally typed and bound, do /not/ use crayon
 PH> {excepting

 PH> "humblness's" sake.
 PH> ->
 PH> -> Commit  the salient points of your thesis on three by five cards,
 PH> or consider
 PH> -> a Power-Point presentation if allowed. Study well, be prepared yet
 PH> rested,

 PH> And once all my preparations are complete, toss the whole thing in the
 PH> dust- bin and go down to the local cinema-plex for a $5 coke, $3 bag
 PH> of popcorn, and Steven Spielberg's latest contribution to humanity...

 PH> I'm always happy when leering.

I have a dog like that, a Jet-Setter..
