I didn't say anything about the actual parts cost, just the price of the
product. Can you make it for nickels and dimes of parts? You bet. Can you
sell it for $120? Obviously.

Old story about the retired A&P who was called in to see if he could find
the problem with a 747 that nobody else could find. Ten minutes later he
marks a part with an X in chalk and says replace this part and the problem
will be fixed. SUre as hell, they replaced the part and the problem was
fixed. A&P sends the airline a bill for $10,000. The airline objects that
it took ten minutes to find the problem and the bill is excessive and please
itemize. THey got the bill back with $100 for marking the part and $9,900
for knowing where to mark. They paid.

Old engineering joke, many variations.
Here is another one for you.
Jim, do you know the measure of 1 ORCH?

I know how to measure in the RCH system, but never heard of an ORCH. A
variation on the theme, no doubt.

Have you ever heard of measuring feminine pulchritude in millihelens?

Sorry, the O and 1 are redundant.
No, I am not familiar with millhelens.

If I've got it "figgered" correctly the original Helen ("Paris Downfall")
would have been rated at
1000 millihelens, Marjorie main would have come in at about 75 millihelens
and Kim Novak at about 1390 millihelens. To bring it into the modern era,
Paris Hilton might rate as high as 395
millihelens. I think I've got the concept straight but we might differ on
the calibration.
