I have a funny rElated story. I have the tendancy to collect building stones.
I spent several months in Britain and Ireland a few years ago, and collected
sandstone from York, slate from Wales, and -- a miscellaneous rock from the
land of my people -- County Kerry, Ireland. The stone was rather wet
(naturally, consideRing the source), so I set it in the footwell of the back
seat. I was travelling with several friends by car - all having a jolly time.
We picked up a hitch-hikeR (he looked like a nice dark-irish lad, and turned
out to be a nice jewish boy from NY). Well, about 100 miles lateR, somehow, I
noted that the hItch-hikeR rolled down the window, picked up my rock and
tossed it out!! I jumped out of my seat. My friend said ---- we can stop and
pick it up! For those of you who have not been to Ireland, it is basically
one big rockpile. Ahhhh, the land of my people. Hand me a Guinness.
