Indeed it was thee that fools made of themselves. That is correct but that poor fool will live forever in infamy because of that day. I see the word spelled both ways almost daily and no mention is ever made of it. It's not fair to poor Danny boy... On the other hand, he was the author of some really stupid quotes so I don't feel so bad making fun of him. I have a list of funny Quayle quotes here somewhere but I can't find them. The ones I remember are: (paraphrased by memory) "It's great to be here in the great state of Chicago" "I recently returned from a trip to Latin America and I wish I had paid more attention in my college Latin classes so I could have conversed with those people" >Though the tomato is related to the potato, Al Gore and Dan Quail are not >> > even from the same party <G> Actually, I find that to be a pretty good comparison. chris -Christopher D.
