22-1 2:22:14 GNFan Stony, you sound like you're in the Marx Brothers "A Night At The Opera".
Groucho: That [contract] is a duplicate. You do know what a duplicate is.
Chico: Ah, sure! That's-a five kids up in-a Canada.
22-1 2:20:54 rvn2001 The new oil should loosen the old oil if that's the problem.
