Your headline gave me a fright! I was thinking of sending you a cake with a file in it, or hoping that you'd get remission for good behaviour!

Good luck with the exams.

Good luck with your exams, Beezo.

Your headline was like the telegram I sent to my husband's sister when he passed his Chartered Accountancy exams back in 1957. It read "Peter Passed". I was trying to keep the cost of the telegram down, but boy did I give them a fright!

I'd bet you gave her a fright !

Reminds me of a quote from someone, maybe Continental's Gordon Bethune, but I'm not sure, that said something like "if you open a pizza parlor, and the price is lower, people will like it, but if you keep cutting costs, eventually you'll have pizza crust, not pizza" or something to that effect.

In other words, cost cutting can only go so far before it backfires!

Happy Cruising,

Thank you everyone!

BillyBob - I Live in Eastern MA (Middlesex County), but I go to St. John's High School in Shrewsbury. If you haven't heard of it, you may have heard of St. John's Prep, Malden Catholic High, and Xaverian Brothers High...They are all run by the same people...Xaverian Brothers.

Well I gotta go get some sleep because it looks like I got a lot of work to do.
