[QUOTE=Troy McClure SF] **racer72** , I _really_ hope you meant 50 _milli_meters. [/QUOTE] I’m not hip on the metric stuff. I remember 50 something, a nurse said 2 inches. Millimeters does sound much better. ---

Much better… 50 centimeters is almost 20 inches. 50 mm is just short of 2 inches. ---

[QUOTE=rhythmonly] I then had the rare oppurtunity to walk all of the way back to my own berthing area, wearing nothing but my long-sleeved jersey and a pair of boots. Only passed two Officers on the way. [/QUOTE] Yes, but did you salute? ---

[QUOTE=Larry Mudd] My sister once complained that she had to seek relief from very bad constipation with a _spoon_. I was so stunned, I never did ask her what she did with the spoon afterwards.
