Compare "Hitch Hiker's Guide", the book, to "Hitch Hiker's Guide" the movie. A much better book!

In the Navy, there are a lot of warning signs. We used to try to figure out who and how some poor sailor got maimed or killed to warrant the sign.... > >On Jun 23, 2:58 pm, "Mike Hunter" <mikehu...(a)mailcity.com> wrote: >> To stop idiots from hurting themselves or others and to save Punjab and >> Singh from loosing their jobs ;) >> -- Scott in Florida There ought to be one day-- just one-- when there is open season on senators.

At the price of gas now I let it click off and then round it up to the next dollar. The most it could be is about 1/3 of a gallon. Gas running about $ 2.90 a gallon today. This is the first time I heard the contamination mentioned . Thanks for the warning. |
