davywavyOut to see a client today, and, whilst waiting for them, I was watching a report on one of the cable channels in their waiting room about US preparations for war in the Gulf. The shot showed missles being loaded for transit, and, as usual, people had stencilled messages like 'Saddam Buster' onto them.
However, one of them had 'Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin' stencilled on it, which I thought very erudite for a member of the armed forces.

no subject

"Any man who lieth with an animal as he does a woman should be put to death."
Something to put the fear of God into those mid-westers.
Although Friends of Dorothy come in for some similar stick a couple of lines later.
