Rumor has it that Chris may have mentioned these words:

I always heard it as either the "left-handed" and/or "metric" adjustable
wrench (which here in northern Michigan, seems to be interchangeable with
"Crescent" albeit incorrectly) and in the military (I was a radio/wire dog)
we had "frequency grease" to send others for...
And as it's winter, and we *finally* have snow here, talk to some Western
Ontario Canadians and ask them what a "snowmobile" or "snow sled" is -
they'll most likely look at you funny, at least for a few seconds until it
sinks in. They go "skidooing" in the wintertime.
Happy incr(Year),

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an *older* .sig.
(circa 1997!) Why does Hershey's put nutritional information on
