"The life of a super genius is just so frustrating, having to deal

"But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was
nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

>Jeff, there's always one :(.
Or as Mrs. Slocum might say on "Are You Being Served"
"And I am unanimous in this...." :)
