Indeed.  It's hilarious.  Still trying to get all the meanings-- certainly,
a lot of effort for little (and useless) result.  Sounds like the PhD diss.
process. But also, what sort of dolt would shave a pig in the first place?

We should appoint BPJ Official Swedish Proverb Purveyor to The List.

James-- there was definitely a smiley in my post to you re Frisian. I'm
somewhat ashamed to say, that's how I "learned" Dutch.

Anyone:  why are these weird garblings happening in my email?  Something to
do with my new ISP?  It happened before and I thought I had it solved.
Using a PC/Windows, outlook express, plain text setting. Oddly enough, no
problems in AOL, but wont continue that as its a long distance call from my
little burg.  I'm essentially computer ignorant, and not a guru for miles
around.  Any suggestions by private mail will be appreciated.
