Yeah. I heard the hardware was done by some farmers out on the
tundra in
flyover land. Will wonders never cease?.


Really? I heard the farmers decided that they should let the cows do
it...

Wrong farm. The cows are in Vermont. The tundra farmers heard
corn. ;-)

What did the corn say?

Stick it in your ear?

LOL! Remember, I'm a true flat-lander (UIUC homey)

Del was referring to IBM Rochester, MN when he said "farmers out on
the tundra in flyover land". No cows out there, only corn.
However, there are a few cows in Vermont (higher ratio of cows to
people than Wisconsin).

Besides, there is nothing blue in Wisconsin, other than the map.

Actually we have a fair number of cows around here of both types: eating
and drinking. We also have swine and soybeans. And a couple of
vegetable canning operations, one of which is topped by the famous "ear
of corn" water tower.

Wisconsin? Isn't that where the people drink paint thinner and wear
cheese?

Yes, and Rochester only is about 60 miles from Wisconsin. In fact,
I'd be willing to bet that you have some cheeseheads working there!

Leinenkugel is about my favorite Amercian beer, and it's made in
Wisconsin...

Something they have in MN & WI even if you have none in VT.

Hint: it ain't vodka. In the day, you look up and see
_blue_ (not gray). At night you look up and it's black with
stars and hopefully no re-entering warheads.

Well, if you want to get in the way of intra-company elbows...

Only those too embarrased by the Vikes this year. I got over it though.
Three of five big ones ain't bad. ;-)

****z, Velveta, and I 94 are the only things that come out of Wisconsin.
As Del pointed out, at least Rochester has a corn-cob water tower[*]. ;-)
[*] First time I was in Rochester my cow-orker asked what *that* was. I
answered without a break - "toilet paper factory".

Oh, we have plenty of black this time of year. After all, black is

Only when it's -20F (hasn't gotten close this year; all gray)
