Barry,

 BM> As one of the local lawyer's ads says "the law isn't black and white,
 BM> there are always shades of gray".  "Oddly" he's known as one of the
 BM> lawyers to get if one is guilty.

  I think of the joke where this prosecuting attorney asks this woman 
if she knows the defense attorney or him. She promptly says that "both
of you were such scurrulous individuals growing up, that she wouldn't
trust either of them!!". The judge calls both attorneys to his desk,
and sternly warns them "If either of you ask her if she knows me, I'll
send both your butts to the electric chair!!" <G>.

 BM> You never noticed the tiny numbers in the patterns?  "#4 - red!"

  Is that why the traffic lights are so funky??!! When I lived in
South Florida, they had "a countdown light". 9 seconds before the
light changed from green to yellow, it would start counting down.
After 1, it was solid (yellow), then after 4 seconds, it went to red.

  I've noticed the crosswalk signals now have a countdown timer, so
folks have an idea how much time to get across.

 BM> "Up to 15 pounds" is not the capacity!

  The blonde thought otherwise. :P

 DS> someone threw a block of sodium into the lake. The resulting
 DS> explosion caused a rash of cars starting, and speeding away. <G>

 BM> Spoiled the mood?

  It ignited a different kind of passion...get the heck out of
there!!

 DS>   I heard in one place in Montana late last month, it dipped to a
 DS> frigid -29 degrees.

 BM> Brrr!!  We rarely get that cold in wind chill, though one year did get
 BM> down to a -90ø wind chill -- no idea what the air temperature was but
 BM> definitely cold!

  That's where exposed flesh can freeze in seconds.
