It matters little to a goat whether it be dedicated to God or consigned

Thanks, guys, for some very... ehm... *interesting* ideas.
Remind me not to use your travel agents next time I'll
have to go somewhere...

What a cool idea! I wonder if we have any other such thoughts?

Rune, what would it really take?

For me to hijack a ship?? You must be kiddin...?

Seriously, I can't travel anywhere these days. The survey
season is starting up, and anyone who want to get income
this season better be available first time the phone rings.
If you can't leave for four weeks two days from now, the
next person on the list can. And there are no prizes for
guessing who - the guy who passed on the first oportunity,
or the guy who went on 30 hrs notice - gets the call for
the trip after that. And after that. And after that.

I will politely ignore your naive parochialism, 'cause I'm _civilized_.

That reminds me of some engineering jobs I've worked. Whom are you quoting?
