Prince Harry is scheduled to deploy to Iraq in 2007 as a subaltern. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ixnewstop.html](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ixnewstop.html) Good for him! I just wish I was young enough. Nothing finer for a young person of privilege than volunteer for the colors (or colours, as the case might be). Shows what he is made of. No word of the Bush Twins. ---

[QUOTE=Ethilrist] Need more coffee… I first read that as where “… insurgents, drugs and _monkeys_ are smuggled…” [/QUOTE] That’s OK, so do I. I got “mon(k)eys” OK, but I read the earlier phrase as “Renaissance fornication”! :smack:
