Ha-ha! ;-)

I don't know why but this story reminds me of an old joke about the guy who
goes to the new tailor in town to get himself a custom-tailored pin-striped
suit.  When the tailor's finished with it the guy, on picking it up, says
"It's beautifully cut, and you've used some real high quality wool....you're
a really good tailor...only thing is I was expecting the stripes to go
vertically not horizontally."
