  ROFL! Wise career move.

  When I was a kid it never occurred to me that I might have to grow
up. It came as a terrible shock at 16, when I was about to be thrown
out of shcool and they wanted to know what I wanted to be. I was happy
being what I was. I became a Radio Engineer because I'd made a crystal
set. It was dead lucky I didn't know how to knit.

Regards,
Bob
