        Listers,

        I got this from my "Word of the day" service and thought it might be
of interest
        to some on the list.  

        It's all starting to make more sense...those prisoners started out
making
        license plates, it got out of control, and they ended up making
Triumphs.  
        Their clever revenge was a life sentence for the rest of us.

        Bud


        "Word of the Day"

        Coventry (KUV-uhn-tree) noun

           A state of ostracism or exile.

        [After Coventry, England (possibly from the sending of Royalist
prisoners
        there during the English Civil War).]
         
           "Chris Ash, tribunal chairman, said the panel was not satisfied
that Mrs.
           Edghill, of Sevenoaks, Kent, was ostracized or `sent to Coventry
by other
           dealers'."
