What's unfortunate about that?

Re: A dilemma
I don't think it would be a problem showing the sump plug as I'm sure it would be well polished by numerous oil changes and the use of multi grade oil as well.

Unfortunately, staring at that photo affected my eyesight such that I couldn't get started on reading the associated article. Was it good?

Re: A dilemma
Since we just had the world championship game of "American" football (yes, the Super Bowl), someone had sent around this simple "joke". It was actually a pair of pictures, with the email heading "FW: Why Quarterbacks need to Keep their Names Short (fwd)."

For those not in the know, Tony Romo is the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Out of fear of Chris Melia trying to one-up me, I will only tell you that the name on the piece of swimwear in the other picture, which I will not be posting, is Roethelsberger...

Re: A dilemma
Chris, many thanks for not posting the second picture, you are obviously a much more caring and sensitive person than Mr. Melia.

BTW, I have always wondered how you can have a "world Championship" when no other country in the world competes.
