the origin of the phrase "rule of thumb" derives from the english (?) law
permitting a man to beat his wife w/a stick so long as it was no bigger
around than his thumb.

so just like i stopped eating veal when i found out what veal actually was, i
dinna use that phrase anymore...

another quart of coffee if'n you please...it's early yet -_-
