#4 Prolly wasn't a FROG-7 - too big for a pick-up, even the big 4x4s. More likely, a crate of RPG rounds, or maybe a box of thermite grenades, or even an old claymore left over from Vietnam. Then again, it could have been just another "work accident" - been a rash of them lately. Maybe Afghanis have a tendency to be color-blind, or something...

#7 I lived in Texas for two years, Clues Toes, and I do believe that all men there use "purdy"! I'm sure that Dubya must. Anyway, "pretty" sounds purdy French, so let's drop it from the language.

#8 Wait a minute! "Language" sounds too French too...

#9 Lol! Here we go! Now the French have a Ministry or something that is charged with keeping anglo words out - language purity, remember? So cleaning language is French, too. I guess we're just screwed!

#13 .com---re: your microscopic writing as to where toast comes from. It comes from the condition one becomes when one is standing behind a Frog-7 when it is lit off. So now we have come full circle in this discussion.
