Teevee, regarding your comment of Debeer's screwing winspear shareholders by offering $20/share. sounds good to me. I am not easy but I am cheap. They can have mine for 20 bucks.

TeeVee, I read a story once about a man who trudged to the post office on a winters' day for a sheet of stamps. He waited in line which is typical for a US post office. When it was his turn, he robotically executed his transaction, multiplied rows times columns, pocketed the stamps and mushed his way back. Arriving home he returned to his bookkeeping. He unfolded the stamps and took a moment to study the details of the newly issued World War I comemorative avition stamps. To his amazement, the airplane, depicted in flight, was flying upside down. Instantly he felt his heart shift gears and race like dragstrip funny car. Being a stamp collector, he realized in a flash the extent of his good fortune. With anxious hands he phoned the post office. His call was immediately transfered to the postmaster who with quavering voice, informed our man that by chance, his was the very first purchase of the newly issued stamps. In obvious anguish, the postmaster recounted how the error was discovered moments after his purchase and immediately all existing stamps were pulled from the clerks. A flurry of phone calls later and every lot of defective stamps was accounted for and safe in the vaults of unnumbered post offices around the country. His were the only stamps to have reached the public. It was the postmasters happy task, so he nervously said, to offer our man the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, which had been authorized by the Postmaster General of the United States himself, in exchange for his timely return of the sheet of misprinted stamps. Our man thought for a moment, smiled to himself, and then spoke to the postmaster in a low confident voice. For one hundred thousand dollars, I will sell you just one stamp. For the others, I guess you will just have to wait in line. My question: Could Snap Lake be just one stamp? CAB
