	A recent note on the bboard brought something to mind.  In the
old Venus Equilateral stories, by George O. Smith, large sections of
some of the stories took place at "Joe's" ( billed as the best bar in
124,000,000 miles ).  The engineers would solve problems, get ideas,
etc. there.  Joe was continually miffed, cuz the guys kept stealing his
table clothes so they could run them through the blueprint machines.
	I remember a scene where the engineers had to figure out the
flight path of some object.  "OK, look, this ketsup stain is Venus,
that coffee stain over there is the Sun, and the cigarette burn here
is Earth..."
