Ski poles come in pairs. If their polish, does that make them poleskis?

Of course, the same could be said about your political leanings,
just to the opposite side. ;-P

I notice you've been strangely quiet on the political front these
days. Once I got over the eerieness of that, I find it's not all
that bad of a situation. :-)

And I'm certainly not about to _instigate_ anyhting! Not me, no
way, nuh'uh! ;-P

Cheers!

Both rationals and irrationals are real, aren't they? What you have
to watch for is the imaginary part - people _are_ complex, you
know.

What? No imaginary part? Where do those wondrous analog chip designs
come from then? (if you say, "Aylwardian memes", I will drive, walk,
crawl, hitchhike, or by whatever means necessary, get myself to
Pheonix and personally strangle you. :-) )

Hmmm - maybe I'll write a book: "The J Factor - People Are Complex!"
;-)

Cheers!

Geez, Jim, I thought you knew basic DC Ohm's Law. The real resistance
is the only one that consumes real power. It's the imaginary ones that
give back.

Thanks!
