Must not have laid on the sarcasm quite thick enough :)  Just thought this was kinda funny and was passing it along!  Some colorful sayings helped me to remember these quite some time ago!

Thanks though!

tim- it a sad thing when sarcasm is not appreciated--i did appreciate the purplish coal -and the reddish red--i think the reddish in the reddish red  black reddish red must denote   a 1% tolerance  resistor--being color blind i find this funnier than most--
