JQP,
I don't know about you, but I'm investing! Now who manufactures Bovine Size Depends??

Humor aside, take a look at the OSX chart and where it starts going down, that is where the big boys got the word on the SPR, IMHO. Hence the puzzling OSX drop while energy prices were rising. Not that I think the SPR thing will do anymore than set up the next OSX rally. But its dirty pool all the same (and yeah, I know, I should expect it!). I didn't lose any money today, if I ignore a teeny on AEM, which I will, so I don't know why I'm grousing.

But uncontrolled venting sure feels better than holding it in, ggg.

Now the following sounds bitter, but its really not, just practical:

I'm going back to the "thinking like a criminal" strategy, it pays to be able to know what the competition is thinking!
I have a bad habit of thinking like an honest man, unless I force myself to do otherwise.

Best Regards,

Roebear

OT - JQP - "$500 toilet seats"

You have been asleep at the wheel, friend. How 'bout a little "gender neutral" inflation. Excuse me while I go "squirt" in the sink.

"September 21, 2000 - NAVY ATTACKS THE THREAT OF URINALS
Alright, men, listen up. On direct orders of Vice Admiral John B. Nathan, urinating while standing up will no longer be permitted in the Navy. The Navy will remove all urinals from heads in its aircraft carriers and install model S4 gender-neutral commodes. Standing urination is discriminatory against women and also unsanitary, as many men are less scrupulous about their personal aim than their ballistic aim. In the future, all personnel will use unisexual commodes and will utilize them in the manner for which they were designed. The use of gender-neutral facilities will provide for sexual equity in micturition while allowing the Navy greater flexibility in assigning facilities to its increasing number of women personnel utilizing them.

Further, the Navy reminds you that sleeping nude and wearing of lingerie by members of either sex has been against orders for two years. Those orders will be strictly enforced. Furthermore, command wants you to clean up your language in the ready rooms. There may be ladies present. Remember, a polite Navy is a happy Navy. Thank you for your attention. Dismissed.

I’m not making this up. I couldn’t if I wanted to. And if you’re still frothing over those $600 toilet seats, you should know that each one of these gender-neutral commodes costs only $187,000."
