Trivia Pur$uit

Al Capone was so pleased with the 1932 film `Scarface', loosely based on several incidents in his own life, that he had his own copy of the film. He is also said to have given director Howard Hawks a miniature machine gun as a thank-you present.

Good thing Capone was pleased.
Otherwise we never would have
seen "The Thing" (also directed
by Hawks.)

Cheers,
Doug

Doug, you've just stole the words from right out of my mouth (feel another strop, flounce, slam coming on).

Hi Doug,

We are so on the same wavelength. I was thinking the same thing when I posted that. Ya wouldn't want to displease a bloke like Al, would ya!

I'm happy with my leather shoes. I don't want cement boots!

Take care

David

Hi Carol,

This is to you and Doug ...

Doug, Doug, Doug, no, no, no! Never press the sequence of buttons that will induce a Shrink-strop.

The famous strop-flounce-slam sequence is one to be reckoned with!

Keep smiling, all

David

Hi Carol and Doug,

Yes, it's just a figure of speech.
Truly.
