Not at all! I found it most interesting, augie. Listen the whole point is that people SHOULD ask questions, and be answered. What this thread shows is the difference between the ones who think before they ask.

Yes, please! Also the 100 ways to kill yourself at Disney World.

I was remembering when I worked selling battery-powered toy puzzle cars at the Ideal Home Show here in London. There were always two questions which were asked time and time again-

"How much are they?"-(There were price signs located just above our heads....half a dozen of them, and it was also the very first thing we told them when they came up to the booth.)

"How do they run?"-(Asked immediately after we said they were battery powered. I just got into the habit of then saying they were operated by a two-inch-tall driver who had be specially trained for the job. Often they would nod their heads, and then ask how much they were.)
