Bert,

Nice poem - but I wonder how many of the young folks on the list
know what "Face down, nine-edge first" means...

I used to have a boss who's nick-name was "OneLastBug Gordon".
If anybody asked how the project was going, he would reply
I just have one last bug.  That went on for many months.
