Remember, I'm a true flat-lander (UIUC homey) -- Keith |

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? -- Del Cecchi "This post is my own and doesn’t necessarily represent IBM’s positions, strategies or opinions.” |

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that you have some cheeseheads working there! Wisconsin? Isn't that where the people drink paint thinner and wear cheese? Leinenkugel is about my favorite Amercian beer, and it's made in Wisconsin... |

Sky? What's that? 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. -- Robert |

Well, if you want to get in the way of intra-company elbows... However, there are a few cows in Vermont (higher ratio of cows to people than Wisconsin).

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that you have some cheeseheads working there! Only those too embarrased by the Vikes this year. I got over it though. Three of five big ones ain't bad. ;-) Wisconsin? Isn't that where the people drink paint thinner and wear cheese? Leinenkugel is about my favorite Amercian beer, and it's made in Wisconsin... ****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". -- Keith |
