Bad Frog! I guess I'll have to rewrite my froggy split story to fit yours below... Mel To: Reseller (43728 ) From: Mel Boreham Saturday, Jan 17 1998 6:54AM EST Reply # of 43823 "Fractured Tales from the Black Lagoon!" The little green Amazonian jungle frog sat right in the middle of a nice large lily pad as he gazed upward at the great hole in the Ozone layer above him, which allowed the stars to appear even more brilliant and closer than usual. As he sat there contemplating the options trades he was planning for the next day, gentle clockwise eddys in the river's currents swirled about the lily pad causing the starry images to reflect as if in some sort of fantastic kaleidoscope. But things were not as they should be... as he looked down at the new set of legs that just begun to grow from his body! He said to himself... " I heard that we were gonna have a two for one split, But this is ridiculous!" Get Legs Iomega! ----Mel----

Interesting. Various states have used their liquor laws to restrict labels and free speech in a number of instances. A couple of years ago, Texas tried to restrict the import of a Louisiana beer called "Black Voodoo" saying it was a satanic brand and would cause the downfall of all human civilization. Louisiana, in return, threatened to ban Lone Star Beer (a Texas hallmark) because it's label was based on the company's 5 pointed star. I guess this star was close enough to a pentagram to give Louisiana lawmakers enough tit for tat clout, and the Black Voodoo Malt Liquor was allowed in. The winners? Both Black Voodoo and Lone Star got loads of free advertising. Also winners were the lawmakers on both sides, by getting their names in the papers and demonstrating their unquivering loyalty to God and all righteous citizens. The losers? Just one. The Constitution.
