Sorry, had decaf this AM...

Meant to say "possession", not "ownership".

Kind of f's up the joke, huh?

Frank,

Ownership is 9/10ths of the law Frank. I'll sell ya Dave's car for $1500.

WST

Frank,
You are confusing value with worth. To me, my 1972 RWA Midget is worth
$50,000 because that is what it would take to part me from it. Its value,
however, is more realistically around $5,000. This means that I will 
cheerfully
drive my $21,000 VW GTi (that I would be happy to part with for $10,000)
in the salt and leave my RWA at home (or at Flounder's home, as happens to
be the case right now).
