Hi Ken and all,
From: Ken Norton <ken@xxxxxxxxxxx>
>It's a good thing that Panasonic isn't spelled Pantasonic. These

I don't know if I should tell this in this thread, or in the torches one, so
I'll use both :-)
At a gathering, a good friend of mine bought a dirt cheap, Chinese LED
torch. It even included what looked like Panasonic batteries, which would
have made it a superb value... but upon closer examination, the batteries
weren't Panasonic, despite the similar typeface/font and general design,
but... 'Penesamig' brand, like <

I should add that 'pene' is Spanish for penis, so it made the whole thing
way funnier. I almost die of laughter -- literally.
Cheers,
