[DeTomaso] FW: [VN] question

[Bill Lewis]

Seeing as how this is "show and tell" - my real first name is Otis, but my sister nick-named me pre-birth, "Bill."  My email address is "Lotus......," because a friend, years ago called me Otis the Lotus.  So, why is there an insect called a Fly, but there is not a Jump, or a Crawl, or a Swim!  And, what does Microsoft mean!  Names are fun!    --Bill

After reading your note and the mention of the left-handed pair of vice grip Thingies, it reminded me that my dad was left-handed. I immediately went to my tool box to check out my vice grip Thingy, and for some reason, I could not determine if mine is left or right handed? Can someone explain that to me, please? I really want to check out ALL my old tools from my dad to see if they were special left-handed versions!!!!!! I'm sorry I just couldn't resist! (:-)
