I honestly can't imagine a maritime navigator not being well versed in the sextant. Everything has a probability of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to popular belief, access to a pocket calculator or one on a smart phone does not eliminate a need to learn math. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummm… Heard that Circuit City went out of business because, in a cost saving move, they converted all “associates” from base plus commission to straight salary or hourly. The good ones left the poor ones hung on to the bitter end. Before it passed on, Circuit City created CarMax and spun it off to shareholders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like salami, it's an atom and cannot be divided. Frinstance, you address the people in a football stadium as y'all, but if you address half of 'em it's still y'all. If you keep halving the number of folks, even down to one, it's still y'all. Tomorrow we'll talk about youse. Somewhere there is a place for “all y’all” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
