Martina Navratilova walked over to umpire Marv Goldberg to prtest a call. Martina: "Both Ros (her opponent Rosalyn Fairbank) and I thought the ball was good." Goldberg: "It was out by eight inches." Martina, walking away, "Men have been telling women it was eight inches since the beginning of time!" Of course, *I* would never tell such a lie. A mere eight inches? :-) Ken Arnold "Of course, all this happened during the baseball season, so the Chronicle may not have covered it..." -- Tom Lehrer
