Subject: RE: catspaw's birthday is Tuesday, June 8th
My Dad told me that the original filters were cork. Now that would have been a tough one too!

Actually Leej, my all time favorite was a urinal screen with a propeller arrow thing that stopped on various "witty" sayings, like "Dead-Eye Dick." I remember encountering one of these, called a "Pee-Whirrly" at a Marriott, not some cheap joint, but a Marriott for chrissakes. Being in sales, I got this immediate vision of some Marriott corporate suit type looking down his appointment book:

9:00 -- William Whiteshirt, Xerox
10:30 - Samuel Spectacles, General Business Systems
12:00 - Willie Johnthomas, Peewhirrly, Inc (LUNCH)
"Hey, great......Man I can hardly wait to go to lunch today."

And what a lunch it must have been.....Had to take at least a dozen Martinis to close this one!

I think we're becoming a bit sexist here. Then again, with this kind of mentality, aren't you amazed that men not only controlled the world for so many years, but that they STILL DO?????

I sense a certain amount of thread creep here.
