It seems that the blockage was confined to Doc's as things seemed to be flowing
fine elsewhere. Either it auto repaired itself or Ed found that a spoonful of
Ex-Lax helps the messages come out.

      Title: Manifold Destiny Engine Block Burgers (YMMV)
 Categories: Five, Lo-fat, Sandwiches
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1    Bag lo-fat pita bread
      1    Piece of aluminum foil
      1    Better n'Burgers
 
  I travel quite a bit. Most of the time I'm on commercial
  airplanes, but on occasion I have to drive. A few weeks
  ago I dropped my wife off in a remote part of Northern
  Georgia. When I reached Tennessee, It was time to stop and
  refill my cooler. The supermarket had Better n Burgers at
  a price much lower than in Chicago so I decided to buy
  four packages. As I was about to check out a thought hit
  me.
  
  Now dear readers, are you sitting down? What you are about
  to read really happened and I strongly recommend it to all
  vlf travelers.
  
  I picked up a bag of lf pita bread, a roll of aluminum
  foil and a bottle of Catsup. After paying for my supplies
  I went to my car and unrolled a piece of foil about three
  feet long.
  
  In the middle of the foil I placed one of the newly
  purchased Better n Burgers. The sides were folded and
  sealed. This left a long foil pack with a "burger" in the
  middle. OK, are you ready for this? I popped open the hood
  of the car and placed the foil packet directly on the
  engine. The long tails on the packet gave me enough foil
  to secure the burger on various engine outcroppings.
  
  I closed the hood and drove for about 30 minutes.
  
  After a little experimenting, I learned that it takes
  about 1 1/2 hours to cook the burger if you have it
  directly on the valve cover. Results may vary.
  
  The packet was retrieved, the "burger" was placed into a
  pita half and I munched merrily along I-24.
  
  Ahh, manifold destiny.
