 GJ> A new Virgin -800 is as far as I have got.

 ML> I find Mr. Branson a bit smarmy, if amusing, and tend not
 ML> to use his products (except for his basic telephone service,
 ML> which is very cheap and designed to reel the young and foolish
 ML> in for something better).

The experience of some of my friends has been that his mobile (cell)
telephone service is inferior in many ways, particularly when attempts
are made to use it overseas.  T-Mobile and even the evil Optus and
Vodafone are superior.
 
 GJ> As it is Singapore, I think the main idea is to make money.  A $50
 GJ> fine income vs the expenditure of installing autoflush makes sense.

 ML> But that assumes that the Singaporean populace is
 ML> incorrigible, so the fine income can be expected
 ML> without the deterrence factor kicking in.

But it saves the expense of installing autoflush.  (Of course there
would be the cost of paying the potty peerers!)

 ML> Some places had the Dos Equis lager, which is tasteless a la
 ML> Fosters; the amber is much superior. Of course the dilemma is
 ML> now - 10 oz pour of decent beer or 6 oz pour of bad wine (1.5x
 ML> the alcohol), free but one feels obligated to tip $1 per serving.

A tip for a drink?  Something I have never done.  I would rather go
without the drink.
 
 ML> I can call my friends Chinks, if I choose. It would be
 ML> a presumption for you to do so.
 GJ> Of course!  Do you, very often?  Or do you only call the "round-eyes"
 GJ> that when they pick up the chop-sticks.
 ML> I didn't say I did; I merely said that I have the option.
 ML> I don't fly Southwest Airlines, either.

Not ever?  I thought there had been best forgotten occasions.
 
 ML> As long as the club is a revenue source or contributes to the
 ML> product profile of a revenue source, it will likely continue.

There may come a critical point as the numbers of sustaining
Businessmen falls, below which that world will end.
Perhaps it will end with a claim like this:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Best Eggsalad in the World
 Categories: Salads, Chilies, Anchovies
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      4 lg Eggs -- hard-boiled
      1 ts Capers
    1/2 c  Mayonnaise
      1 ts Horseradish (plain and
           Strong)
      1 pn Dry mustard (or 1 tsp.
           Prepared mustard)
      1 ts Anchovie paste
           Salt and pepper to taste
      1 pn Cayenne
      1 tb Pickle relish
 
  Since I made this recipe a little of this and a little of that,
  adjust the ingredients to your own taste.  Mash the hard-boiled eggs
  with a potato masher, and mix well with the remaining ingredients.
  You may want to add a little more or less mayonnaise, or use part
  mayonnaise and part sour cream.
