Frank,<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>learn the secret handshake<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>Here's how it goes... Walk into your nearest West Marine or other ship's store. Walk up to the cashier and take out your wallet. Open the wallet to the folding green section, and hold it out to the cashier. What happens next is the "secret handshake".<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Okay, we haven't performed this ceremony in quite some time so I guess it's time to dust it off.

Okay Frank, are you ready? Raise your beverage hand and listen up!

Hey Don,
