  List,

  Did I ever tell you all about the time I left my zero haliburton case =
by the back door of a church and drove off one August day?=20

  By the time I got to my next stop about 20 min. away and got back to =
the church, the local police were waiting for me and the bomb squad was =
on the way. The cop told me they would have x-rayed it and then blown it =
to bits with a water cannon.

  The next day I stenciled my company name on the case in big black =
letters.
