  <laugh> Yep, yep, yep. One of my all-time favourite toon lines. I find
it's one of those basic truisms in life. <grin>

  Ahh...must be one of those lines that hasn't stuck with me. I guess I'll
have to listen to it a few dozen more times just to make sure it impresses
itself on me. <grin>

Hi, folks;

About the meaning of that "fruit juice everywhere" line...

> >its a line from "Weightless" ;-) as to what it means... I can't say for 
> >sure. 

I have always had a very clear interpretation of the line, but I
would dearly love to have it contradicted, as it's not all that
pleasant.  (The incredibly squeamish or those who just don't
want to hear it can stop reading now....)





OK, as I recall, the immediate context of this line in "Weightless"
is:

"She runs to the basin,
Fruit juice everywhere..."

Given the fact that the woman had to run to the basin, I always
assumed that she, um, was unable to keep down the large
quantity of fruit juice she'd just imbibed.  Since it  went
everywhere, I always imagined her being rather violently ill.
Perhaps due to a sudden emotional upheaval.

Not that I *enjoyed* imagining this, mind you; ever since a rather
icky incident in second grade, I've been a bit sensitive on the
topic of "gastric grief" (nice phrase, Melissa).  So if anyone
has any alternative interpretations, I'm all ears...

By the way, speaking of "Weightless", that line that immediately
follows the fruit juice line -- "drop one, drop two" -- is that
a knitting reference?

OK, I've probably embarassed myself enough now --

Cheers,
Beth Meyer
(writing from the lab again -- yes, I have to be here all day on
Saturdays too...)

At the risk of giving a silly answer, duh. :)  I should clarify the 
problem a bit.  I can get to the page no problem (and it looks cool, I 
might add).  I fill out the form, and click "submit." It warns me that 
it's not secure, then *OOPS* the problem appears to be on my side here (I 
was just going through it to make sure :) )  Our server is refusing the 
form.  Oh well.  Sorry about the false accusations about your page Paul 
:) :)

Wow, Charles, if you're serious, I give you a lot of credit.  Seems like 
nobody wears pink anymore :) Personally, about 1/2 of my wardrobe is pink 
so I'd not object, but it seems like a silver metallic "Alloy" (which I 
love) would be a tad out of place. I was thinking perhaps something like 
a teal green myself :)

I'm sorry, I'm Dave not Charles.  You've E-mailed the wrong guy.  You 
have also successfully confused me
