YOUR out of pocket was $72. Somebody else, possibly from your gene pool,
came up with the other $170.

Still, it's a really nice jig. Make some beautiful stuff for those folks

One of my favorite 'current quotes' comes from a Mythbusters outtake:

"I reject your reality, and substitute my own!"

Works for me. Who's to say what's 'real'?

I simply choose to ignore the fact that the net loss to the Conroy
household was $140... Ignoring reality is a special management skill I've
developed over the years.

Seem's to come in handy!
