It demonstrates in spades that Winston [Wilson???] had, and I have, far better ears than you for the language. Not to mention at least some sense of humor. Oops! I must have been subconsciously been thinking of his Auntie. Ofttimes a sense of humor goes a long way towards masking a lack of knowledge. Wilbur Hubbard |

... didn't someone post a while back that Wilbur is a Jew? If that is true, that raises him up a notch in my book. If it's not true, well, I understand. Not likely. He's been a racist for the yrs he's been on Usenet. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Because one person uses a term, all people of that ethnic background are guilty? What about the Christian who uses it of himself when around Jewish friends. Would he be a racist of his own race? I think you're grasping at straws. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
