Just be thankful  Art did not jump on this thread.  He can let go with some
zingers on this list server.  I am, of course, referring to Art (eheh, we
fling good stings to file.) Bahrs.

Sorry if I answered this one late, I just got off the plane after being
away for the past week.  I tell you, my baby (8 months) daughter was very
happy to see me. Whilst I was giving her a bath,  I was trying to explain
to her why I was away, and what I had done.  She was so happy to see me,
she was splashing her soapy bath water all over the place, including all
over me.  I was glad to be back, there really is no praise like foam.

Well, tomorrow (Sunday) the whole family leaves for Baltimore. From there,
I go on to NECRUG where I will be speaking and boothing.  We are also
taking some vacation time after NECRUG.  Well, I wanted to close with a
good bon mot, something a least a fraction as good as the ones Gary and
Wirt produce, but I am out of time.  We need to pack and rush to the
airport. Everyone knows jetting there is half the pun.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

To be a really good bon mot, the phrase has to be a play on words that is
at
once immediately familiar and yet also possesses a surprising twist. It
also
has to be dead on in regards to the context of the conversation.

In these regards, I am humbled by Gary's repartee. I stand in the presence
of
greatness.
