I thought of that, but bought Hall's instead.......and while I was at it, I
bought a bunch of other stuff too.  When I look at what my "gal" is getting
for her 40th birthday, it includes:

   Plastic 'door panel' surgery,
   A 'firewall reduction' tummy tuck,
   All new interior wardrobe,
   All new A/C (although that just makes me look cool)
   Some bodacious new headlights (get your mind out of the gutter)
   and Side transmission mounts (to cut down on her chatter)

I feel like such a sugar daddy.

I hereby challenge everybody to support our Pantera vendors as much as I
have these past few months.
