Lufthansa, It may not mbe what you wanted however.

"It" very rarely is. Cementing relationships is usually a good idea though.

MC Who, notwithstanding the numbers, ( which are presumably good) has not
the slightest inkling what you may be trying to impart.

The evidence suggests that's how Mr. Conner got there.......it should work
about as well for anyone else. :)

The numbers were for Mr. Conner's benefit. It occurred to me that telling
him advance that he comprehends what he is reading would save him the
trouble of finding out for himself.

To tell whether a person is an engineer, or a mathematics/ Operations

Reasearch
type, give them the following problem:

A box contained 50 red socks and 50 green socks. You withdrew two socks;

one
green and one red. What is the probability of having a matching pair on

the
next withdrawal?


Everyone missed the obvious. 0%. If you have three socks, you don't have a
pair.

(Glad to help)

I was thinking the same thing, but after Tommy's semantics lesson
I was loath to say so. ;-)

You want to be careful mucking about with orthography and morphemes, or you
too could end up as a St. Lord knows we'v got enough of those around her
already.

Uh, uh. I've got a male Hershey bar. Give me four dollars, a red sock, a
ticket to Portland, a female Hershey bar, a green sock, another male Hershey
bar, two more green socks, all the amputated letters in the state of
Florida, a battle cry, a digital camera, and I've STILL got a male Hershey
bar. Go further, and give me all the male Hershey bars in the world,
and......SURPRISE!.....I've STILL got a male Hershey bar.

it's english......just accept it.
