Lin - that was great - always helps to learn the correct answer to long standing question. Pat

This made me chuckle ...

When there was a doctors strike in France a few decades ago, the death rate dropped.

When there was a doctors strike in France a few decades ago, the death rate dropped.

…and this surprises whom?

We came this close, when I was house staff at Boston CIty.

I should be the last to chuckle, as I am sure that most would have troubles reading my hand writing. Yesterday, it took three of us to determine a one word scribble.

[BeauV]

I stopped taking notes in college and just paid attention, I couldn't read my notes.

[JoeP]

When I started drafting years ago I started printing everything and stopped writing cursive. Now when I write cursive it looks like I'm drunk. My signature is now about 3/8" wide by 1-1/4" tall, or less, all scrunched together.

[Orestes Munn]

I print like a sloppy and uncoordinated child and make more mistakes than I do typing.

same here. I started drafting in architecture but could never manage that swoopy architectural style.

and everything is all caps. And if I try handwriting, it gets mixed with printed letters.

[BeauV]

What is this "writing" you're speaking of. Pens are for poking holes in plastic bags, and I've no idea what penciled are for.

I haven't written more than 4 words per day in years, I type everything. One exception, the US Sailing Race Officers Essay exam, it had to be hand written. My hand hurt for two weeks after that. Pens are EVIL.

[BeauV]

OK, this is different, not "on topic" at all. I'm in LA a lot recently, working on MAYAN, and my lovely Admiral is back home caring for our little Bundle, the every lovely Miss Maddison, so Maddie's mom can go to work. We're apart a lot - much more than we like - MUCH more.... So, tonight she sent me this film and said: "It'll make you cry, but in a good way."

She can always make me smile.

Or maybe they do?

Could use some welding on the frame but man - you gotta respect the powertrain of that thing.

Looks like the French interpretation of a Porsche.

[SloopJonB]

It's no uglier than the Panamera.

A rear engine rear drive for a front engine front drive car is a bit of a stretch even if a French-German four wheel drive hot rod would make for a bit of fun on a drive through Paris. Pat

[Olaf Hart]

It's just wrong, either way you look at it.

[Rasp]

That is the bastard child of a 911 and a Citroen!

[BeauV]

Why did I think of Beau when I saw this?

This must be a peddle car as there's no engine in the back of the Citroen and no engine in the front of the Porsche.

[Olaf Hart]

Or else it's a FWD.

Didn't Maserati make the engines for the Diane's?

[SloopJonB]

They did for the SM - the only French car I ever truly lusted after (not counting the classics like Bug's of course)

[SloopJonB]

When size REALLY matters.

Not sure if this is actually true - but it's great fun:

The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the ‘Style Invitational’.

The requirements this week were to use the two words ‘Lewinsky’ (the Intern) and ‘Kaczynski’ (the Unibomber) in the same limerick.

The winning entries (below) were actually printed verbatim in the newspaper, without bleeps or alterations.


Third place:

There once was a girl named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
Twas ‘Hail to the Chief’
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.


Second place:

Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
We don’t want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And please wipe that stuff off your chinsky.


And the winning entry:

Lewinksy and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known,
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter,
When deciding how best to be blown.

Tiger Woods & Stevie Wonder are in a bar...
Tiger says Stevie, "How's the singing career going?"

Stevie replies, "Not too bad. How's the golf?"

Woods replies, "I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got
that right, now."

Stevie: "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing
for a while and not think about it.
Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."

Incredulous, Tiger says, "You play GOLF?"

Stevie: "Yes, I've been playing for years."

Tiger: "But -- you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"

Stevie: "Well, I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call
to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him.
Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or
farther down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice.."

"But, how do you putt" asks Tiger.

"Well", says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and
call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball towards his
voice."

Tiger: "What's your handicap?"

Stevie: "Well, actually -- I'm a scratch golfer."

Woods says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime."

Stevie: "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and
never play for less than $10,000 a hole.
Is that a problem?"

Woods thinks about it and says, "I can afford that; OK, I'm game for that..
$10,000 a hole is fine with me.
When would you like to play?"

Stevie: "Pick a night."
