The conductors didn't dare question anyone's presence in       the car, since they might be challenging a VIP who'd forgotten their       ticket and could cause lots of trouble if annoyed. The ministers assumed       you must be someone's secret guest and didn't ask questions for the same       reason. Ironically, that made it easy for anyone to sneak aboard.              Just a guess, though.       --       Gary McGath http://www.mcgath.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
