Goal: Plausible Deniability.......

Damn straight.

That's how I got my ETEC. :)

A little fudging here, a little truth twisting there - bingo.

New engine. :)

I thought that eTec was fifth prize in a beauty contest. First prize was
a weekend in Philly.

Geese 'em pete Harry - that was your prize.

Remember? You won the Parker when you placed First in the "I am a
dork and look like one contest. You had to submit an essay on why you
would look like a dork in a Parker with no transom.

The way you told it, you also got second and third which managed to
get you the Yamaha - by default because nobody else wanted it. :)
