jc's (unusually) brief comment
Like the Stainless Steel statue said to his spitting image in the mirror: "
Hey, this RUST in the Rust Belt, is making you Golden Brown on the outside,
even though you actually are peerless, silver White inside"
And the spitting Image replied: "Never mind that. Let the facts not get into
our way. Let's say: Amchem Kam kobar zalem, Ami Zoi Zoi, Chol torr, Ami
Ghorra ya. Say Viva Hip Hip Hurrah!
Driver .....Chol Voss (;-)

ps: It is quite possible that JC's posts has as much relevance to Mario's,
As Mario's has to Gabriel's.
