The other said: "My friend, I have an excellent idea where to put it! Give orders that a great pit be dug, and without further trouble it can be put into that." He replied, not without laughter: "And where shall we put this earth that is excavated in digging this pit of yours?" Said the other, "Make it big enough to hold both."!!! And so, even though he repeated several times that the larger the pit was made, the more earth would be excavated, the man could never get it into his head that it could not be made big enough to hold both, and he replied nothing save "Make it much bigger!"!!!!! *<--- chuck --->* cbosgd!ccf BTL Columbus
