The eagle flies high at noon...

(I just wanted to see what piece of wit Michael will offer now with a very random statement from me, I am sure it will be entertaining)

And then there's the guy whose post survived the death of its thread!

See...that right there is what I'm talking about...

I have a feeling I should demand an appology, but have no idea why! :wink:

I can't even google it...

Dwayne - I'm kind of with you. I think we either owe an apology, or deserve one. But I'm not sure why either. In which case the apologies would mean nothing anyway.....

....I think I see a "Teddy" post coming....

Sorry, Google what?

As for apologies,

The ferocious conductor Toscanini grew dissatisfied with the orchestra he was rehearsing, so he halted the rehearsal, pointed to a trumpeter and threw him out. When Toscanini was returning to his dressing room, he found the angry musician waiting outside, shaking his fist and yelling, "I've got only one thing to say to you, Mr. Toscanini: Nuts to you, Mr. Toscanini, Nuts to you!"* Toscanini brushed past and waved the trumpeter away, saying, "It's too late for apologies."

The wonderful thing is that we'll never know whether or not Toscanini with his limited English really knew what the guy had said.

*Another version has the trumpeter expressing the same sentiment more harshly.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
