You would remember it, every time you hear 'Dueling Banjos' ;-) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068473/ Watch it, and you may never feel safe in the woods, again. :) -- The movie 'Deliverance' isn't a documentary!

There are idiots claiming that a 5% net receipts tax is no more burdensome than a 10% tax on profits. 5 is smaller than 10, don't you see? John
