"The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J. Robert Oppenheimer >From: "Butch Black" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <snip> >Major General Joseph Hooker was head of the Army of the Potomac during the >American civil war. A large group of courtesans traveled with the army and >got dubbed Hooker's girls, eventually shortened to hookers. A funny story, it may be urban legend: Apparently, some of the late general's relatives live in Connecticut. One applied for a vanity license with the family name, and was denied (for obvious reasons) They then sued the state for the right to have that plate stating that it was an honorable name and a historical figure. I don't know if they won or not, but can you imagine letting your teen age daughter borrow the family minivan with a license plate HOOKER on it :) Butch Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. Hermann Hesse (Demian)
