Penni, That's IT!!! That's the ONE! It really is priceless! I wish you could be a mouse in my pocket when I repeat it in 3D, and I don't even do the dialect all that well, being a Californian and my friend Betsy (my only Texas-talkin' exposure) being long gone back home to Texas! Holly

That just reminded me of a story a former colleague told me about a friend of his from Minnesota who interviewed for a clerkship with a judge in Texas. The candidate was visiting a friend of his the night before the interview and the friend said he knew the judge. The judge was famous for always wearing cowboy boots in the courtroom. So the candidate goes out and buys a pair of cowboy boots for the interview to wear with his charcoal gray pinstriped suit and, lo and behold, he got the job. It took a couple of weeks for the blisters on his feet to heal, though.
