Hi, Bob, do tell me, where is a teleportation booth or time machine when
you need one? It's so hard to get good help these days, isn't it? Can
you imagine just stepping into that booth and having voice menus so you
can select where you wish to go in space or time and arriving at your
destination in one piece. No more gas bills. Anyone can use it. I
suppose the only drawback is having your molecules scattered everywhere,
or worse, being mixed with someone else's. Can you picture the
litigation proceeding from that? I suppose there would be a real
donnybrook if technicians working with the temporal and teleportation
system went on strike while grandpa or grandma was in mid-transit
between London and Canberra. Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: I think I'd
better quit this flight of fancy before we really do get in trouble and
called on the carpet. K.

<lol> Kim.
Maybe it's a timewarp thing: the authors wrote the book in 1949 which
inspired the producers to produce a popular television show some fifty
years later. Which... but you get the point.
On a similar note, maybe if the burocrats can't find the paper that says
you are blind you'll get vision.

Hi, can you just imagine the looks of consternation on the authors'
faces to discover, much to their surprise, that their book was
copyrighted and published long before The Antiques Road Show was a gleam
in their eyes? Regards, Kim Friedman.

Bob, You and I should be antiques on the Road Show because this almost
predates me too.
I'm laughing and laughing.

I found the following entry in the new books list and just had to share
it:
"Antiques Roadshow Behind the Scenes
by
Mark L Walberg
Marsha Bemko
An all-access pass to America's first (and favorite) reality television
program -- boasting over ten million viewers each week -- Antiques
Roadshow!
Copyright: 1949"
With a copyright date of 1949, this television show predates "the
honeymooners", "beat the clock", and the Milton Burl show. In fact it
predates the first Eisenhower administration. It almost predates
television. Heck it almost predates me.
Thanks,
Bob
