Big boats with guns,       missiles, depth charges, and stuff like that. Did I forget to mention       Aircraft Carriers?              Years ago, Jack wanted a military sounding name for his products. General       and Admiral were already taken. Commodore was the best rank available.       Lieutenant was also available but Jack wanted a higher rank than that. After       all, when it comes to officer ranks, Lieutenant is near the bottom. So,       Commodore it was. ;-)       --       Best regards,              Sam Gillett              Change is inevitable,       except from vending machines!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
