René Descartes walks into a bar and has a seat.
"Beer?" the bartender asks,
"I think not," Descartes answers...and disappears.

Congratulations Zoegirl!
Silvertusk-If it were me I would give you at least an Honorable Mention. One out of only three posts? I think you deserve it.
BTW I'm a Kentuckian and the scoring system would need to be manipulated downward just to give us a chance.
Just in case it comes up again, can anyone tell me how to display my location?

Thanks Cross-eyed - We welsh are always overlooked - just because there are only 1 million of us.
