<guffaw> Right, Barry. And of course they've never seen "The Wizard of Oz" either. So what modern Dorothy do you imagine they're referring to? In any case, your original claim was that it referred to an *earlier* Dorothy, not a later one. Fortunately there's little need for such a code phrase any more. Let's hope one day nobody even remembers what it means. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
