Ah... That sounds more authentic. <L>

I suppose he could have dictated the manuscripts, but that would still
make the scripts in someone else's hand. The last theory I heard was the
broker business, and all the laureates were in a cafuffle over it.

That's your story, and you are sticking to it? <-;

You will notice a barrage of replies flying your way soon. After
arriving back from holidays, your messages are the last in my
backlog. I always answer others posts first, as usually they are a lot
less involved, and take much less contemplation. You, are a taxing
corespondent. <-|

I imagine you are right! <LOL>

How about, "Teachers without class..." Hmmm... That seems like a dead
end.


 JB>  Ten persons' fingers waving.
 JB>  That person's hands had ten fingers.
 JB>  I won't elaborate on what they were waving at. <G+D>

 AH>         Not necessary, anyway.  I see you've got the drift....  :-)

Now I'm trying to remember the lesson after my summer holiday.

 AH>         Yeah.  I don't appreciate "little moron" jokes, for example...
 AH> (sigh).

Hmmm... Something else I'm not recalling. Who was the brunt of the
moron joke?



 AH>         Did you get the nails in the right place??   See next message....
 AH>  :-)

Geese... I don't remember. First light, I'll go check right after I
catch up to the raspberries. <G>
