Thanks, it was fun!

This dang economy has everyone on edge. Maybe with Palin teetering closer to the edge, we can all put our energies and fears into getting behind a winner. ;)

but that small character was once the 27th part of the alphabet.

I got busted for a DUI because when I recited the alphabet backwards I left out the ampersand.....

The cop wouldn't believe me when I said it was my kindergarten teacher's fault

Another letter that’s never used anymore is the elemental P

**Where would Barns & Noble be? What about Smith & Smith? Smith & Weston? Barns Ampersand Noble, Smith Ampersand Smith and Smith Ampersand Weston, that's where. **

[I think they meant Wesson, above]

My great-grandmother did have a sampler she made with that on it. The letters were all doing the actions described. It was a very cool piece of art.
