You've got that right.

RW> Lost me on that one.
 
I haven't lost my touch then.   Many animals will shy away from
banana skins.  I haven't tried it on the dogs here, but the cats definitely
don't like the odor.

That's what made me think it was Thailand.  Caning is done there, too.

Let's see, I was in Mandeville at that time and I think we got some sleet
and maybe a light snow, but all I really recall is the sleet.

D'Bridge uses a random generator for its taglines and I'm usually surprised
at the appropriateness of many of them.  I'm still trying to figure out if
it looks for a keyword somewhere in the text.  Nick won't tell me.
