Lee popped into the argument grandma Rosalie and I were having on
the topic of "dress code" on airlines. I said there's NONE that
required coat and tie as grandma initially claimed, and later
Leeclaimed to be no athletic shoes or denim.

grandma was wrong on ALL counts, and then continued to argue that
her hubby CHOSE to wear what he USED to where when there was some
dress codes (I would have assumed the 19th century, but there
wasn't commercial flights then ... so the best I could gather
was that grandpa chose to wear his 1940 coat when he was on a
flight).


Lee> Ask him about EPIRBs.

What's the significance of THAT, you may wonder.

You'll see the light, very soon. Lee had barged into another
discussion I was having with someone else, 2 months before, and made
the SAME curious remark on something that was entirely unrelated
to the subject of the disucssion, regarding the subject of
"certification" in scuba.

Lee> I wonder if Bob has figured out what an EPIRB is yet.


ROTFLMAO! Lee had his head in the hole where the sun don't shine
for so long that

(1) He had to dig deeeeeep to come up with a topic that was
FIVE YEARS old, discussed in a listserv LIST, and NOT
in rec.scuba.locations, or any of the three newsgroups.

(2) He didn't realized that he had already been thoroughly
trashed on the EPIRB topic the LAST time he brought it out
and I had already responded on July 13:

Well folks, thanks to DING-DONG Lee, you now know more about
EPIRBs and mini-EPIRBs than you ever wanted to know.

And DONG-DONG still has his head buried (voluntarily) in the
hole where the sun don't shine.
