Gene,Gene,Humor is often tonal, so it is hard to get it in the written word. Contrast thelady at the store check out saying to you, "have a nice day!" In a happy tonewith the guy saying "have a nice day" in a tone that really says "@&$)!&@!$&you!". Same 4 words, much different meanings. Same with humor. That is what makeshumor writers rich - their ability to communicate humor via the written word.Don't feel bad. Few of us have that gift.One man's absurdity is another man's enjoyable pastime. I don't get why fat oldguys chase a white ball around a cow pasture every Saturday morning, but golfwas a $177 billion industry in 2011. I don't get "pasture pool" but plenty ofpeople love it. But if people enjoy it, so be it. Same with analysis of sparstrength, modulus of rupture, etc. just because you don't get it doesn't meanothers don't find it fascinating.Why not just let 'em?--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GAUSMC, USMCR, ATPBVD DVD PDQ BBQRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: A Pietenpol Cousin
