o/t LOL, GOD. That's one I'm seeing more of recently. Reminds me of another one that has been "commonized" into gibberish, I think. "Cut to the chase." I think that the original phraseology is "separating the wheat from the chaff." (I might be wrong in assuming that that "cut to the chase" is a bastardization. Are there two different such idioms???) Seems that it should be, "cut to the CHAFF." OR, "cut THROUGH the CHAFF." Things like this occupy my relatively vacant mind frequently. -g- "lb"
