[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 62, Issue 2-Stat Stuck

[wkooiman at earthlink.net]

It doesn't have to be water.  Heat some oil.  When you're done, you can fry yer dinner.

Just don't let your date for the evening see the t-stat in the frying pan.

And always remember...  With everything going on these days, you can't be too careful...

Sometimes neigh means nay.    (I've seen your dates)
