Thanks for the free advice. I was a little bit suspicious. I made up a sign for the others. It says: WARNING! FYI: Cute foxes and deers Free Corn is trick! Beware! Guard your nuts! I'm going to wait til the midnight hour and see if I can post it without any incoming. Still, why should I stick my neck out for theirs?

Yesterday's discussion at the Supreme Court between Justice Boatload Kagan and Mr. Clement reminded me of your response to me regarding the free corn. me: Free corn! You: Who's paying. JUSTICE KAGAN: Now, suppose I'm an employer, and I see somebody I really like, and I want to hire that person. And I say, I'm going to give you $10 million a year to come work for me. And the person says, well, I -- you know, I've never been offered anywhere approaching $10 million a year. Of course, I'm going to say yes to that. Now we would both be agreed that that's not coercive, right? MR. CLEMENT: Well, I guess I would want to know where the money came from. And if the money came from -JUSTICE KAGAN: Wow. Wow. I'm offering you $10 million a year to come work for me, and you are saying that this is anything but a great choice? MR. CLEMENT: Sure, if I told you, actually, it came from my own bank account.
