My first thought was "well, you make it *obvious*" -- but an April Fool post on rec.arts.sf.written caught an *initiate* despite giving the editor's name as "Munchausen". I used to harbour an April set of safety rules for cyclists that included "ride as far to the right as physically possible at all times . . . this is called the Jack Daniels method after the impression that your graceful swoops give to observers." Don't recall whether I found space for it more than once or not at all -- April is when the bike news starts picking up. T'warn't funny, McGee. Every last rule on the list was one that well-meaning people teach to innocent children. -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
