Howdy Thomas,
Well.. err.. let's observe it was BLP that spent a lot of AEI et al's
money. Back in the late '50's I invested in a deal like this.. took me two
years to finally get the notion I bought a pig in the poke.
Ole story of the East Texas coon dog that had romance on his mind but 'nery
a female dog in Crocket county.... he noticed a pretty girl skunk started
looking better every night.. so one time he gave it a try.. and after.. he
told her.. I'll admit it was fun while it lasted... but.. whew! I've had
about all of this I can take.
Some catch the smell on the fly, some get a good wiff as they get together..
and some have no nose for it.
For sure Herb Kellerer with Southwest Airlines had a clothspin on his nose
as he listened at the Congressional hearing and watched the FAA guy testify
in tears about how he was threatened into silence. Ole Herb must have
smelled that skunk as he likely wondered about flight 800 and the job the
FAA did on the investigation,, no tears that time.. still no tears.. but..
if you ever run over a skunk ya better not park yur car in the garage for
awhile.
