So, Mr don-don, just a few questions before we can leave this matter...
Was the napkin in question pink?
Would the napkin, in fact, be better described as a bib?
Was the new born baby wearing shades?
A baby who was due to inherit your maiden aunt's fortune?
Mr don-don, I put it to you that the only reason you kept the press clipping you quoted was because it made you look innocent. It was the first reference to the 'accident' suffered by your avatar when under your care - an accident only in name. Am I right?

We have to and we are engineers.

Holy sh!t - you use HF? That is stealth acid that in certain circumstances gets stronger with dilution, so it dissolves your skin and then eats what's underneath (including bone) as your blood dilutes it. Yoiks. I'm a chemist and I'd have steered clear of it... in fact I did, by choosing an entirely dry and clean discipline.jimmypippa wrote:Always Tyred wrote:

Yeah, I had to use HF once to clean a piece of sapphire i was working with. The lab techs delighted in telling me gruesome stories...Always Tyred wrote:
