EDIT4: I don't think the name-link works in the quotes so, I'm pulling it out so @symbolipoint gets a notice:

"I deleted this because what I wrote looked like I thought @symbolipoint was some kind of slow person. I have no idea what I was thinking and I profusely apologize."

-------------------------------------------



What a nice place this is. Several people helping instantly! :smile:

EDIT: ok that didn’t make much sense. I misread senders

EDIT2: and I’m talking about something Else entirely. Sorry !!!

EDIT3: I really wish I was drunk or on drugs. That would help explain my scatterbrain-Ness. Alas.
You did send something privately. I did not know what it was a response to, so I made no response to it. Maybe, try again?

It was basically just an apology for the post I made here. Now I deleted it it no longer makes any sense. Please just ignore it.

EDIT: And thanks for being a sport about it. I was really scatterbrained there for a minute. Not even intoxicated, just confused.

Back in about 1980, my science teacher gave a bonus question on a quiz. The solution was:

Space is big
Space is dark
It's hard to find
A place to park.

We all looked at him blankly, and he said "You know? Burma Shave?" We continued to look at him blankly.
That'e my entire experience with Burma Shave signs. But I've never forgotten it.

The thing about the Burma shave ads. There was something funny or tropey hidden there. I can find it but I lazily expected you to do it for me. 😏

Well we’re talking the roaring twenties so I guess that’s no so strange.

sbrothy and his antics
are a little depraved.
But there’s a quick fix:
A Burma-Shave.

:woot:

EDIT: man that was bad. Sorry.

This is so dark that at first I laughed, and then I felt guilty for laughing. So I quickly saved it. o0)

It seems you have to click on the upper right corner for the pop out. It takes about six seconds to start once you hit play

Doesn't start at all here. But that's OK. It will eventually and I can wait feeling guilty! :smile:
