You have beaten me in the e"s but I wager that I have done more strange
things to earn a living.  I helped support my way through college by
working for Doctor Ethel Tobach of the animal behavior department at the
American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. The Animal Behavior dept
was on the sixth floor, reachable only by a stairway.  On a landing someone
had placed a stuffed turtle decades ago.  It drove Dr. Tobach crazy that
someone kept stuffing a cigarette into the turtles mouth, so much so that
she eventually had the turtle protected by a lucite case.  Guess who the
culprit was?

Oh, sorry Ron.  I guess that I am off topic again.
