Joe F - Actually, in many US areas, trespassing is a criminal offense, although usually at a fairly minor misdemeanor level. The "hook" in it is that by making the tresspass criminal, the "undesirable things you might do while trespassing can be more easily prosecuted, so any "enforcement" usually hinges more on what you do there than on just being there.

Mr Happy - Some years ago we got a ZIP drive to add to a PC. The thing came with a complete installation, operation, and service manual - on a ZIP disk that you couldn't read until you completed the installation. The only other instruction was a card that said "See Manual for Installation."

In the "prevailing ignorance" category, the ubiquitous and irritating

"Express Line, 12 Items or Less"

was pleasantly relieved by the one grocery chain that diplayed a correct

"Express Line, 12 Items or Fewer."

The chain has been merged, and on my recent visit I note that it's now

"Express Line, About 12 Items."

Mustn't offend. But what do they want me to know about those twelve items?
