The following came into my head last night, I think it may have been a song learned in Boy Scout camp in the late 50s. Any 'Catters know all the lyrics? It was a song built one line at a time, much like the 12 days of Christmas.


Twelve...
Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven
Ten for the ten commandments
Nine for the nine bright....
Eight for the...
Seven for the seven stars in the sky
Six for the six white horses
Five....
Four for the gospel makers?
Three, three, the rivals
Two....
One is one, and all alone, and ever more shall be so

There was a time when there was competetition for response time, and a number of people had amazing response times. As I recall, Sorcha, Jeri, and Pene Azul were at the top of the list. Hey, and I wasn't too shabby myself. I think at least a couple people achieved a 1-minute respose record. I didn't.
