It is also possible to use a cat as an emergency alternator/generator. It is a
well known fact that a cat will always land feet-down. It is also true that a
piece of buttered bread will land butter side down. Simply strap a piece of
buttered bread to the cat's back, put a couple of magnets on the sides of the
straps, and drop the cat into the center of a coil of wire.

Viola, spinning cat-bread generates a voltage.

Viola

1. A stringed instrument of the violin family, slightly larger than
a violin, tuned a fifth lower, and having a deeper, more sonorous
tone.
2. An organ stop usually of eight-foot or four-foot pitch yielding
stringlike tones.

Voila

Used to call attention to or express satisfaction with a thing shown
or accomplished

Can't you let a humorous intentional misspelling slide by? Do I have to put a
funny face (I'd like one for up-yours, but it hasn't been invented yet -- how
about oo|oo ) by all my little peccadillos?

Sheesh.

Jim,

To give you an idea how "thick" some folks are....
Even when I boldly display the symbol "g",
certain folks are blind when I parry with equally
subtle.... or not to subtle humor.


Sheesh.

Dear Jim,

You've confused the the aviation term with the French word.

The proper spelling is 'wah-la' even though it is pronounced the same:

However, when cats are involved, for correct usage the term is doubled,
always followed by an automatic feline activity, and a geographic reference,
e.g., "Walla Walla Wash and Kalamazoo!"



Tis fast approaching the season to "Deck the Halls with Boston Charlie".
