Hawk, thanks for the belly-laugh.

You guys are all just jealous because America have retired and are living like kings on the ASCAP cheques.

SharonA, "Cause" (i.e. "because") was never the reason for anything, what your momma told you notwithstanding. Including, I suppose, the evening and the Tropic of Sir Galahad (an unpublished work by Henry Miller, if I'm not mistaken).

Don't dig too deeply in the mine of nonsense. There's a mother lode just waiting to come down on your head.

A mine is like a bank with the gold underground and tons of dirt above, la la la la la la la la la la la la....
