>In regard to the overshoe question, was I wrong there, too, in regard to
the
cement/concrete controversy?  My first thought was that you were telling me
to use hydraulic cement rather than concrete, but were you actually
recommending the use of hydraulic cement in the fabrication of concrete
overshoes?<

My Jewish lawyer would probably tell me I should say that we do not
advocate the use of any of our products for illegal or immoral purposes; I
was simply wondering what alternate material selection options might occur
in such illegal and immoral enterprises if, say, someone with no moral
conscience, perhaps one of my esteemed competitors, decided that the
concrete overshoes business was a booming market niche worthy of their
domination. 

>Which brings me to my neighbor Mr. Corzine, Jillionaire Candidate for US
Senate from Joisey, who spoke eloquently of the Jew Lawyers who get the
Italian Concrete/Cement Shoe Manufacturers Assn out of jail.  Mike, aren't
we
supposed to be on the legal end of this, not the manufacturing end,
according
to that theory?

I'm sorry if I upset the stereotype (not really). 27 years ago I spent ten
weeks in a 3-piece suit working for a Wall Street area engineering firm
before deciding I would be better off learning how to something more
personally challenging than creating paper. I moved across the harbor to
the USG sheetrock plant in Staten Island where in additon to breathing
asbestos and getting dirty every day, I learned the basic "real world"
engineering skills that have kept me challenged and my family fed all these
years.
