Well, Lee, I am a quick learner, and I see that painting you into a corner yields nothing but red herrings dragged across my freshly painted flooring and smelling up the corner, so I will cease and desist. Certainly I wouldn't want you to have to trade with a case of nerves, since your fat fingers already create enough problems for you in that regard.
BTW, I have it on good authority that Van Gough's ear was, in fact, actually taken as a trophe by a matador with whom he was in disaccord over the favours of a lady (the ultimate recipient of the severed member), and to save face (since he was unable to save ear), Van Gough claimed he cut it off himself. God's truth! You could look it up. IMO, Van Gough got off lightly -- he could have lost something more necessary, like that rugger fan in England recently (wonder if he presented THAT trophe to anyone. Yuk!).
