Probably not the most opportune time to remark on it, but your tagline....ROFL!

I got that from an old defense contract manager who moved into the NASA contracting world about 15 years ago. He had a million sayings like that (back in days when managers could cuss and flirt like a good 'ol boy) that he would use in meetings to drive home a point. I still laugh at the time he used my tagline on me in a meeting. We had a failure during a structural test, and I was running the stress numbers to try and figure out why the part broke. "I'm just trying to get a warm feeling about the stresses that we're looking at." You can imagine the rest of the exchange.

The Speech Police wouldn't&rsquo like a comment like that these days. How unfortunate that innocuous wit and humor like that is stifled anymore because of sexual harassment concerns, yet most of the truly degrading smut on the airwaves goes unchallenged.
