...and let 's use the term ``Dave Barry'' repeatably until it loses all
legal protection, too. I for one have very little difficulty generating
Dave Barry columns, as his jokes are generally alot like those little things
you stick on loose-leaf pages but won 't hold the envelope closed so that the
friendly man from the gas company comes by to unplug your wife.

Well, dang, then maybe we should try to get a trademark on the PLANT pink, or
the SCISSORS pink, or the SOCIALIST pink, or the CONDITION pink, or the
ELEPHANTS pink, or the CONVENIENT INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH HANGNAIL REMOVER pink,
or the PERSON pink.

Don't bother hassling cokeco when you can confuse every waitron you meet.
How? By ordering "cola". Half the time they ill mem ref and stammer "we
don't have cola, will coke do?"
Try it, you'll see.
