Hello Warren,

This is typically the sort of comment that goes beyond me, because I am not
native English speaking. The documents I read and the conversations I make are
mostly technical, except for this list and family living in Canada. So please
clarify some of it's meanings. I know a joke is no longer a joke if you heve to
explain it but you made me curious. There have been other mails (I remember some
from Ken) that had so many remarks in them That I completely lost track but knew
he was joking. I will type what I think you mean
"Green Hornet"= ?
"Kato"=Japanese?
"Apple pie is favorite"= You are from the southern states?
"Yankees"= same
"Pie has to follow the suski"=?

I hope not to offend anyone with this, and yes, I love this list too. I think I
am on the list for about 3 years now.

Wiliam
