mb, I think Mexico was a good idea for the family. I mean, what exactly do you do with the family idiot? I have never had to worry about that. For some odd reason, my family always has meetings about that subject when I'm not around. <g> Mexico was a flop, but it sure made The Foreign Legion's name.

Mike, do you remember the ancient Kingston Trio song poem? I don't know all the words, but it is something like this:

"The Nazis whom we met at war.
Are now gemutlichkeiter.
For when they are not making war,
No one could be politer.
They open doors to let us pass,
And bow with grace and vigor.
They pull out chairs and click their heels,
Before they click the trigger."

That would be bigotry today, but in the late 1950s it was liberal wit. <g>
