Phooey! How 'bout UNnatural fading and flaking? This is a Maule we're talking

either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.

Less weight and drag, better glide.


True, but someone's still got to do the strip. And who's gonna' keep
