[ RadSafe ] Dapra, poor fellow. - Vol 545, Issue 1 - Was Franz...edification

[Maury Siskel]

Just a note to ask you folks to be cautious. I might be some of those 
things, but I am not a provocateur.  Yes the slopes are slippery, but 
Spring and Summer are on the way when we will shift to horses and 
buggies.  (A different kind of slippery) Also wanted to ask, what is 
this 'banning' business -- is that kinda' like breaching and bobsledding?

In a more serious vein, Stewart is telling it true -- and there is no 
utility in  rilling the pigs.
Cheers,
Maury&Dog
