I dunno, I'm still dealing with the fact I recently learned that any
Scot or Irish with Moor in their surname is descended from the invading
Islamic Moors of Northern Africa. Moor, More, Moore, Morrisey, Morrison,
any one with Moor or Mor in their name has ancestors that kicked the
shit out of the local hod-carrying Goat herders and introduced Algebra,
Astronomy and Masonry to the regions they invaded, which was most of
Europe.

That was the best way for me to stay out of trouble and later on develop
diabetes. I had to service a Catholic School in Lame Deer and the
Director refused to make a reservation for me unless I promised to stay
in my room at night. The last Gringo decided to venture forth to a local
Indian bar and got knifed for his trouble. Discretion is the better part
of Valor! Ric
