Hello sublist, the "carry-cat" seems to be a very necessary tool (according to the number of replies received in a very short time). Some of you asked for an English translation of the Czech text (I had believed that the tool would be relatively self-explaining). Here comes the translation (see below). Best regards Otto ---------------------------------------------------------------- CarryCat Whether you have a small kitten or an old tomcat, you'll enjoy the new and convenient CarryCat - the quick and easy-to-use tool for carrying your little sweetheart. Simply tighten the stabiliser and your beloved pet is ready to join you wherever you go! Length is adjustable to accomodate cats of all sizes! By the way: The mentioned price (490 Czech crowns would be approx. eaual to 16 EURO; that appears to be quite reasonable)

Dear sublist, consumption of drugs may be dangerous (see below). Best wishes Otto ---------------------------------------------------------- 2 young guys were picked up by the cops for smoking dope and appeared in court before the judge. The Judge said, "You seem like a nice young men and I'd like to give you 2nd chance rather than jail time. I want you to go out this weekend and try to show others the evils of drug use and get them to give up drugs forever. I'll see you back in court Monday." Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said,to the first one, "How did you do over the weekend?" "Well your honor, I persuaded 17 people to give up drugs forever." "17 people? That's wonderful. What did you tell them?" "I used a diagram, your honor. I drew two circles and told them this (The big circle) is your brain before drugs and this (small circle), is your brain after drugs." "That's admirable," said the judge, "And you, how did you do?" (To the 2nd boy) "Well your honor, I persuaded 156 people to give up drugs forever." "156 people! That's amazing! How did you manage to do that?" "Well, I used a similar approach (Draw the circles), I said (pointing to small circle) this is your ass-hole before prison..."
