Deri,

I'm ROTFLMAO!! I know that I usually ROTF, but this time I'm out of my
chair!

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Hi Kendall,

I've been following this thread with some interest. Its very interesting
that 
they give you an amnesiac as well as an anasthetic. I think I'd need
this if 
the Doc started talking about my gag reflex (as Ken's did). Wouldn't he
need 
a lot longer tube if he went that way in?

Cheers

Deri
