  (chuckle) I have a feeling that we've been this before, which led to
an outrageous claim that you were related to Thomas Crapper, the
alleged inventor of the flushing shithouse, and a long line of famous
Yorkshire crappers, poopers, farters, and flatulators  :-).

  There was no way I could top that, and I refuse to be caught a
second time, even though my own famous Irish ancestor Seamus O'Bog
is on record as the first man to take a newspaper into a toilet, thus
leading to the phase: "I'm going for a bog." 

Regards,
Bob
