I was going to let this one pass ... but with so many responses ... I couldn't help myself. Also ... he was misquoted. What he actually said was, "What we have here is a failure to communicate" (no "Boy"). Not unlike Humphrey Bogart and his line in Casablanca. He's often quoted as saying, "Play it again, Sam" ... when what he said was, "Play it Sam". Or like Mae West being quoted as saying, "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" ... when what she said was, "Why don't you come up sometime and see me?". What's my point? ... hmmmmmm I dunno. Isn't it still Friday on the left coast? Mike
