Hi Mr. Loo          12/17/07 1:34 PM

BF> "..cheap at half the price" is old.  Your friend did not 
B4d-> originate it.     
 ml-> Oh, pooh.

I know, we have only so many memorable chronicles of friends.  
Sorry.

BF> "A New Foundland dog recently sold in this city for $75. 
BF> He was cheap at half the price."
 ml-> remarkable canine. Back then, one could have bought a whole
 ml-> pound, dog pound that is, for that amount.

I can only assume that in 1871 a New Foundland dog possessed that most
ephemeral value ... rarity.


Or he may have been a pup born on the founding day of NewFoundland. 

[I know JimW, 1608 or 1927 would be more like it, but I needed a Holiday
lead in to my recipe.]
