>After a VERY long day and short night, I got on a plane for Germany and got absolutely no sleep on the flight over. We landed and were picked up by the friends we were visiting and stopped by an Italian restaurant and had the same thing.
And now you did the same to me :). You were "picked by friends... and stopped by a restaurant"... and then the my brain was briefly stopped by the same restaurant :).
But that's English. Speaking of stopping, whenever I see "tub stopper" written, I imagine a Keystone cop movie, with someone sliding down the slope in a bathtub, and a pack of cops running after him and shouting "stop that tub"... Today I saw a "bottle stopper", but no movie came up.
Nice. It's Friday evening and I got a smile on my face. Thanks :).
