..and to give final credit where credit is due, it was columnist Dave
Barry. If you haven't read any of his books or columns, leave work
immediately, go to any bookstore and buy all the books of his that you
can find.
There is a great column reprinted in one of his more recent books about
his high school dates in a Minx, if memory serves. If there's any interest,
I'll track that down and probably violate all sorts of copyrights by
posting it here.
