The audience could even get their own cars squished and take a tex deduction.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, when were bored in college, some of us would go watch the car crusher at the local auto recycling facility (AKA junkyard).

I'm speaking, of course, of "filletists"- those who fillet fish and game for a hobby. <BR/><BR/>The philatelists are probably, against all likelihood, dancing and buff.
