I'm quite relieved that you didn't include a fire ant mound in your Penni's punishment phase proposal. 195 gets to me more of a dead weight issue as time flies by.

Dissenting opinion. Penni has proven to us that she has suffered, and she has shouldered her burden of shame fully by coming to us and coming clean. This is a good thing. She's done her time. I know, because I know how <kick> awful it feels. Now comes the "probation" phase where she'll wince everytime she hears a jet for a month or two. Moer'n'at, she Knows what she did wrong. That is half the battle with women who gots Uzis. PS re the cruising plane. If the controls were frozen - moving the bodies around is a last-ditch way of steering, like a bil ol 200000 horsepower toboggan. But with the controls working - all you are gonna see is the elevator easing this way, then that.

I DID suffer! I suffered terribly! I suffered when I realized that I may have to pay full tuition for the next four years of college and it will be my fault. I suffered thinking that CW would NEVER let me forget it. However, Dan has informed me that CW thinks the travel agency screwed up and that I should abstain from acknowledging any guilt or responsibility whatever in front of him. THen, because I was so depressed, I ate a banana, and a big bowl of muesli, and then I scrambled 7 eggs and cheese for Ammo and me, and then I ate all the leftover honey cakes from his school project last week. That tells you right there how incredibly depressed I was! Any woman will understand the depths to which I had sunk by the amount of food I was consuming. I bet Coby is sitting there reading this with tears running down her cheeks in empathy. And as further penance, I forced myself to make some phone calls. Now will you admit I have suffered enough???

>>Over stiff metal sprinklers, placed a little too high in the grass.<< Are they operating at the time? Sounds a mite too much like fun - you remember Slip 'n Slides? Also known as Death to All Earthworms.

I wonder what happens if everybody gets in the aisles of a cruising plane and runs as fast as they can forward and then fast as they can backwards and then fast as they can forwards, and does that more. A few years ago there was a story (likely apocryphal) about a Russian air force crew that hadn't gotten paid in a while, what with the breakup of the USSR and all. They were flying a cargo plane, the sort where the tail drops down into a ramp. Well, they spotted a cow near an airfield on one of their trips, and decided that a little beef would be just the thing. So they herded the cow on board. Somewhere over the Sea of Japan the cow decided it would find the answer to your question and began stampeding around the cargo hold. This scared hell out of the air crew, so they dropped the gate and shoved the cow overboard. The incident came to light not from the air crew/cattle-rustlers, but from the crew of a Japanese fishing boat that sank when it suffered a direct hit from a cow plunging out of the sky.
