REFLECTOR:Here we go again ... was Forwarded from Canards@Yah oo

[Chuck Jensen]

Time out.  I apologize.  I don't intend to 1) sell my IO-540 so I can buy a
Hugo engine and 2) I don't intend to put down a deposit on a ATP turbine.
However, I do intend to sharply rebuke myself for appearing so stupid that
people would think that I actually would do some/all of the forgoing.  I
used to tell people, "hey, I'm not as stupid as I look."  Now I will have
add "that I'm not as stupid as I sound either", though many will take much
convincing.

Know that next time I attempt to make a joke at Jim S. expense (after he
waxed hopeful about how auto conversions will come to dominate and Lycosaurs
will turn into footnotes), I will properly annotate it with "Jim S., just
kidding!!"  

Chuck

I don't know yet.  I'll have to check to see how much I need to be able to
put a deposit down on a ATP turbine.
