I went to the annual "World's Biggest Omlette Festival" in Abbeville, LA in the early 90's. Right in the middle of the festivities, a neo-Nazi with the requisite "Anti-[fill in the space] poster walked into the crowd. I mentioned to the local next to me "You guys have to put up with them too, eh?", and he said "No." I looked back to see four of Abbeville's finest folding up his poster while dragging him kicking and screaming to the local lockup. Ya' got to know your audience. Regards, Jeffery _________________ Jeffery Smith Irish Channel, New Orleans, LA www.400tx.com On Jun 29, 2012, at 6:18 PM, W. R.
