MAJOR SNIP of a good story:

Ignorance is mankinds normal state, alleviated by information and experience.
Much of that experience is negative; we learn to do things right by doing it
wrong. If fate gives us another shot at it, we do it differently the next time
around. Once we learn to do things right we become the local expert, the
fellow who can show you how to kill a grizzly with a spear or attach a
propellor to a pulley hub. But as Smokey Yunick once said, "Most experts
aren't." And I'd just proved him right because nothing leads us astray faster
than the things we THINK we know. Vern was a pro; he obviously said
‘fifteen' and I heard it as fifty.


Great story!!Just goes to show how sometimes we just don't hear right :-)
Thanks

Maybe that is Juan and zoomer's problem, huh?
