And congressman Jones of "Freedom Fries" fame did eventually come
to his senses and Congress no longer has to eat "Freedom Toast", etc.
I think it was because he was getting pressure to institute "Freedom Curves"
and "Freedom Kissing".

Been there, don't want to go back.
Why's that? Where's that? What does it mean "down there"?
I could only think of the places that think of the fried articles as
Freedom Fries

As a way off topic response, I live in North Carolina, home of "I bet
I can deep fry that". For proof, our State Fair is going on now, and
there are deep fried Coca Cola soaked breads, pickles, candy
bars, . . . It might have been here that chicken fried steak was
invented: start with a great steak, coat it with bread crumbs, and fry
until well past well done.
The airspace above the Fair should be restricted -- it may be CAVU but
the vapors on your windscreen will make it actual IMC in the cockpit.
Of course, your engine will run rich, ingesting a near explosive
mixture of air and grease vapor. And drag goes down too -- but be
careful exiting your low winged airplane, the traction you expect will
not be the grease does that.
Close by are some of the better heart hospitals in the country.
Coincidence? I think not.
Now, back to the regularly scheduled program.

Should the thread continue on this path, it will have to cross post to
cardiac or food groups. I'll have to look for the chocolate covered
deep fried bacon. Have you noticed the slicked down look and shiny
hair most people have as they return to their cars (which have been
under and over coated with rust proofing if they were parked downwind
in the fair (downwind makes this aviation related)). (note the nested
(()) -- programming habits die hard.

Do people still use French curves? Or even vellum? It's difficult
enough even buying graph paper these days.

I am in an engineering department and I know there are new hires that
only use autoCAD. They no nothing else. How did we ever fly (aviation
related) men to the moon.
