A bra, sure, that would get the attention of guys i know, some of them not so picky either, it wouldn't have to be a D cup or anything, you could likely lure them with any old bit of lace, though perhaps not get a heli ride out of it as well ... Berchtesgaden - not far from there is some land owned by people i used to work for on a couple of islands years ago, their family once held the postal concession for the eastern half of the Holy Roman Empire, like the Rothschilds did in the west, they figure in Pynchon's 'The Crying of Lot 49', they put all the wealth into land several generations back, had land in Brasil among other places, one rep told me this story - after the second war the Autobahn was being expanded, less than one hectare of their land near Munich was needed for an interchange or junction, they negotiated a price of thirty thousands USD to circumvent currency controls, and that was enough at the time to buy thousands of acres in BC ... one time while working for them, and just before the annual meeting with their head forester, i saw the new spouse of the head of the family on the Letterman show, which was a hoot and took all the formal stiffness out of dealing with them ... hope the other young lady is alright, and thinks kindly of loggers from here on in 'The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.' - George Denis Patrick Carlin, 1937-2008
