French submarines!!!!... WHAT A CONCEPT...
Now be fair to the French. They have always been leaders in “reverse gear” technology. Its not such as bad thing to be
able to back out of trouble as fast as you got into it.
At least so said Oddball.
Can somebody please cue up a pic of Oddball?
And then get my car washed and pick up my cleaning..... Thanks a mil.
Sounds good. I think I’ll head out for lunch today around 9+3=12 noon.
