That is TOO funny, Wim!
Gregg, I feel your pain. My experience with Heritage is that there are always
deep pockets involved whenever I participate. Given my limited budget I usually
end up putting all or most of my eggs in one basket, sometimes two. This time
around I was looking at the two W.C. Fields one sheets, but Man on the Flying
Trapeze was already out of my zone before the live event started. So, all the
eggs went into the remaining basket (You're Telling Me). Bingo.
Sometimes Lady Luck smiles on the lowly.
