This is what I thought, but when I ask people I never find *anyone* who
doesn't do the rounding. Or at least they all *claim* to. Then again,
I've never met anyone who admits to buying time-share apartments on the
Algarve, or Remington fuzz-aways, or K-Tels 'The best of the seventies'
compilation album <font size -10> not original artists </font> yet
*someone* keeps these businesses in profit. Maybe I just don't know any
of the great unwashed. I feel like there's a gap in my life. I must go
out and find some. Now...where to start. Ah yes. The local conservative
club.
