9. In the days before wirelss communication, national governments...
...would often appoint emmissaries with plenipoteniary powers. Also in that time, a ship's captain was a plenipoteniary figure when the ship was under weigh.




Ha! Two sentences!

10. That patch in your sig-line always reminds me of Jake Blues confronting the Good Ol' Boys
That's the scene at Bob's Country Bunker where he stops them, quickly flashes a mostly-empty pack of cigarettes, and says he's from the AFM and needs to see their union cards. "I'll talk to Bob."

Elwood: "He'll talk to Bob."
