Hardrocker, Sounds like an "Easter Egg"...I'll check it out... Here is my contribution: Last year when Chinese President Jiang was in America, Bill Clinton held a State Dinner in his honor. The black tie ball was going great into the wee morning hours. Around 2 a.m., Bill Clinton says to Jiang "Hey Jiang, why don't you play us a number on the Steinway grand piano"? Jiang, being a gracious guest, sits down on the 100 year old bench seat and begins to play Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". He can't help but notice that at the top of the keyboard is this conspicuous little red button. After taking a bow to a roomful of hearty applause, his curiosity gets the best of him and he pushes the red button. Sploosh!!! A bucket of water that was rigged to the button drenches Jiang. The Leader of Communist China bows, and then sloshes off to the Lincoln Bedroom for the nite. The following year, Bill Clinton is at the state dinner as a guest of President Jiang. The party is going great, the peking duck is succulent. "Mr. Clinton" says President Jiang, "Why don't you show us your talent on this saxaphone?" Bill Clinton always the ham, takes the sax and blasts a roaring rendition of "When the Saints Come Marching In". Bill can't help but notice this little red button next to one of the keys on the sax. Bill, being a Rhodes Scholar, takes a few steps backwards, surveys the crowd, and then presses the button. Nothing happens. He presses the red button again. Nothing happens. Bill Clinton says to President Jiang "I sure can't wait to get back to Washington to tell all my friends about what a great time I had in China..." Jiang replies with a rather dry smile "What Washington?..." -John
