Hey Coin, et al-
yeah they are still cold numbers.....early April Fools day???
*There is an ole American Native (Mohawk?) legend that a serious draught hit the reservation prompting the tribal elders to pay a visit to the medicine man who who residence was perched on top of the magic mountain. So they collected their tribute of food, tobacco, firewater, Mars Bars candy & a few of the best looking coopertaive squaws and proceeded on the ardous climb up the Mt. to his camp The Chief explains the dangerous conditions as the crops & animals were dying and the youg men were moving to greener pastures, etc
The fearfull looking Holy one, after checking out his gifts first, grimiced & nodded with approval and then asked well what do you want of me. The Chief, understandably frustrated, says we have been sending up all this good stuff without delievery charges and it's time you earn your keep by envoking the gods of rain and if you don't we just all may become Buddists.
A month goes by and nothing happens no rain delivery, no clouds, no UPS, no pale face pony phoney express, no Good Humor trucks, no nothing~~~
The surviving tribal elders again mount up & head out & up, the Mt which has now increased in height to 10,000 ft requiring them to bring additional oxygen masks plus reppeling gear. Finally makinig to the camp top they arrive with fire in their eyes to confront nonplused medicine man who with folded arms saying "So you came to visist without anything in your hands already?"
Seeing the Chief he greeted him with the custumary rasied hand & accompanying spoken "HOW" to which the Chief snaps back look I know HOW, I WANT T KNOW WHEN?...... (is the rain coming) So after all oue pleading for your miraculous powers for rescue (too say nothing about the best looking squaws in the valley) HOW do you explain this continuing draught emergency??? Medicine Man sayz: "Well you see boss, it's like this, somtimes the magic works & sometimes it doesn't!!!"
No Indian thought ask the fierce looking MM to give back the squaws......
