Ok, we went from AB to CD. But why wasn't DVD EF and BD GH?
Isn't that a Benny Hill bit? Or a Two Ronnies sketch?

"F U N E M N X?"
"S, V F M N X."

I hear one of the railroads is going to start a special high-speed freight service for shipping poultry across the country.

It'll be called the "Pullet Train".

We're actually in the middle of a bathroom tub/shower renovation right now. We're getting both grab bars and the little shelves shown here. Now I have ideas for how to use the shelves. :smile:

That reminds me of the Monty Python vinyl LP Matching Tie and Handkerchief. If you played the B side, flipped it to play the A side, then flipped it again, you really did (50% of the time) get a secret C side.

The B side, instead of having a single spiral groove, had two concentric grooves interleaved with each other. It was a matter of luck which of those two grooves the stylus landed on.

A paint program can probably flip or reflect letters.

Well, you can set them all to flash at once. That means "I know I'm parked illegally and/or dangerously and/or I'm making things difficult for other road users, but I don't care".

When I lived in Kentucky, many drivers had the weird habit of using turn signals after completing a lane change. Shortly after moving to the DC area, a driver pulled the same stunt in front of me one day. Yup, Kentucky plates. :oldeyes:
