The key is "when needed". Been known to do that myself. I did, 60 years ago have a 10 minute monologue of swearing practiced up, no 4 letter word used twice. But common sense has prevailed and I've forgotten 9 minutes of it by now. No longer 10' tall & bulletproof I guess. :) The years do that to a body, so now my std excuse is that if I had of known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. But I would have had to start practicing that the summer of 1960 when, for lack of a better job, I spent several months in an iron foundry. Woman and at that point, 2 kids to feed. But I learned a lot about hot ($2400F) iron too. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
