Tom I see from subsequent posts that it may not be such a forlorn hope after all!
My queen may, in a moment of jest, have said "We are not amused!" but it was good Queen Victoria who is credited with the sentence. I note you are from Wisconsin where I believe the spoken language can be mistaken for Canadian - if you pay attention to the "ou" sounds. So it's possible you speak the same language as subjects of Her Majesty. Anyhow I congratulate you on your extensive analysis of Jerry's problem in a later post.
