Coincidence? I think not. Now, back to the regularly scheduled program. Not to be outdone, but the Texas State Fair just finished this year and they, too, have deep fried stuff. This year they introduced deep fried butter. Last year I think it was deep fried bacon. I still like the old Fletcher's corny dog. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |

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. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |

The panelists were chatting with Paula about her new line of furniture and one of the panelists (Mo Rocca, maybe?) asked "How do you deep fry an ottoman?" Without missing a beat she replied "Oh, it's easy, honey, you just dip it in egg first...." |
