And now I have the jingle stuck in my head, *sigh*

Aha! It's the Pep Boys - Manny, Moe, and Jack.
Is everyone here familiar with them, or just the U.S. states that have this franchise?

I found it quite interesting.

huh - Norma...what has this to do with my worn out tires?

Of course it has nothing to do with tires. Did you check it out? If you choose to ignore it that is certainly your prerogative. I was just hoping you would find this interesting as I did. Simple as that. Nothing more.:)

I like the article. I think that knowing the context of Biblical stories makes them much more interesting :)

They say that so much is lost in translation that today's English speaking peoples can only get a glimpse of the real humor that is there. I thought the article very informative.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
