	Somewhere I hope my partner still has a cartoon that used to 
hang on her fridge entitled `Quantum Mechanics'. It had a large box 
marked `Atom Smasher', with an `Out of Order' sign hung on it, and on 
one side a thin balding type in glasses and a labcoat, and on the the 
other two workmen with overalls and toolbox, and the captions read:

"Well, I dunno Prof, could be yer particles, could be yer waveform..."
"... we won't know till we 'ave a look."

	This has caused susceptible physicists to be incapable of speech 
for some minutes, I tell you. Yours,
				     Jon
