I will be brief but not nearly so brief as Salvador Dali, who gave the
world's shortest speech. He said, "I will be so brief I am already
finished," then he sat down.

I know a lady called Bennett. She was seriously going to name her son

I don't know where 'Gordon Bennett' actually came from, but my
earliest recollection of it was from the series of "Please Sir!"

More worrying that a family surnamed Brown decided to call their son
James; shame he uses his middle name instead would have loved to imagine
historians of the future trying to work that one out.

Actually, her normal procedure is "now where did I put that?" and then to
use the desktop search tool. :-)

In my book, "I'm using a search tool" = "my filing system sucks". ;-)

Well, yeah, I could see that. Or you just don't have enough different
data classifications. ;-)
I've got a filing system on my system here that is pretty involved
because I do so many different things - unfortunately when I actually
need to use a document I'm sharing with others, I have to remember which
group I'm sharing it with to know which directory it's in.

With my absence, Dried Frog pills will not be needed; however, some
Klatchian Spirit Weed will probably elevate the conversation to a
suitable level of surrealism.
Have a great time.

You know something John? I met some truly nice people last weekend.
It's kind of like I wish I met you all *years* ago. :)
Anyway, here's to the future and some fun times! ;)
(And surrealism is fine by me!) Heh... :)

I'll take the train, so I can drink. Drop me an email and we can swap
phone numbers in case of problems.
