-> >HN>Might be the difference between, "room" temperature

-> >LL>Hmmm.  This could be the basis for an interesting experiment.
-> >LL>Step inside a high school gym, with no air conditioning, in May,

-> >LL>conditioning, in May, in Yellowknife.  Be prepared to spend at
-> >LL>least four hours inside each place.  Notice how much punch you
-> >LL>drink in Louisiana compared with how much punch you drink in
-> >LL>Yellowknife.  Is there a difference?  You tell me.  :)
-> 
-> HN>IT don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Zing!!
-> 
-> "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Zing!"
-> 
-> Was that a pun on a song by the name of "It Don't Mean A Thing"?
-> Here's the first line of the song -
-> 
-> "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Swing!"
->
I confess! 
 
-> I am sure Michael Loo is very familiar with that song.  As am I,
-> being a pianist.  Which gives me an idea.  If Michael is willing,
-> we'll put on a concert at a picnic and play the song.  Of course,
-> you will be the main attraction, being the singer.  I'm thinking
-> about some parody lyrics, with punch served for all...
-> 
Now the parody lyrics I could do, the singing would be
more punishment to the audience than would be considered
humane under the current Geneva conventions.

-> Back to the main topic of punch.
-> 
-> The word "punch" is from the Hindustani panch (five), in reference
-> to the five ingredients used in the drink - tea, arrack, sugar, lemons,
-> water.  However, the British tended to add a few ingredients to the
-> mix, and panch soon became panch with a punch.  And then, the English
-> came to America, introducing their new drink to the colonists.  Here
-> is what one enterprising Enlishman wrote to a woman he had sent a
-> box of lemons to -
-> 
And if done right it's sure to pack a "punch"!
chat with you soon!
