Most of the        time no one else is in the shop (because of the restrictions to        retail shopping). He'll tend to not be aware of his surroundings        when someone *does* walk in - and continue with his swearing..        and I have to chide him like a little child to please exercise        some resraint. He's in his 70s. He actually resembles (and        sounds like) Yosemite Sam (from the Bugs Bunny cartoons). I'll        have to play him the swearing mashup of Yosemite that Darly        pointed out.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.48        * Origin: Does photographic memory take time to develop?
