   whipped out "The Mallet O' Understanding" and bashed *this* into my

   >Would the US citizens be the same pussies the French of today are?   
      
   Mmmm...no, I don't think so.  Not the *same* kind of pussies, anyway.

   "Now I'm gonna tell ya this once, pilgrim, so lissen up good; ya   
   *don't* serve a perfectly good Moet with cookhouse fish; save that for   
   when we get the cattle to Tuscon.  Just grab yourself a bottle of that   
   regular ole Bordeaux."
