How about this reply to a mugger: "If you >> rob me, I'm going to go home and beat my wife."

Ahem. I think that that's the point Colin was making. The original statement was senseless, and trying to place stupid remarks like that in some else's mouth only makes you look dumb. -- Bill Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!persci!bill
