Great stuff! Fat Freddie's Cat and Commander Cockroach, gotta love it. Bought mine in '76 at a head shop in Long Beach, Phineas it was called. Still have them tucked away in a drawer.

We have underestimated NATO's firepower. No, more correctly we have overestimated our ability to neutralize it.

Some people think
That if they go too far
They'll never get back
To where the rest of them are
I might be crazy
But there's one thing I know
You might be surprised
At what you find out when ya go!

Overestimate your opponent's capabilities and underestimate yours. Plan accordingly.

Junior high football had a sign in the locker room:

If you score, you may win. If they NEVER score, you'll never lose!

Yesterday saw Darrell's Law of Quote Misattributions or some such. It says all quotes without a definite attribution are said to be by Jefferson, Lincoln or Einstein.
