I have an old Wizard of Id cartoon that I like to give to flutists. It has Rodney (the knight) coming up to the king and telling him that there's a fellow in the square with a flute who says he'll get rid of all the town's rats for $500. The king says to tell him that we don't have rats. Rodney says "We will if he stops playing." To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
