	Many of you may not be old enough to remember W.C. Fields. I was looking for quotes to use recently and I ran across this one: "I am an expert of electricity. My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at the state prison." I can't remember hearing that one when Mr. Fields was alive. Then again, I never quite understood what he had against Philadelphia. I understand that on his tombstone he has, "Here lies W.C. Fields. I'd rather be in Philadelphia"! __________________ A great troubleshooting tip...."When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

	I would regard W.C.Fields as somewhat a philosopher. One of his great lines was; "One was a strapping young lad, the other was a tennis player". __________________ Mr.Ron from South Ms.

	I dont think he had something against Philly, it was his hometown and that was a line from a movie he had worked in

	Many questions on this forum make one feel that the poster should occupy the chair of applied electricity. But who knows, they (the posters) may be bad conductors, and it may all come to naught __________________ Nothing worthwhile can ever be taught, it can only be learnt.
