	About ten years ago, my organization was located within a large
industrial park.  One day I left the building with my briefcase and a large
printout (300 or so pages).  Like a dummy, I set the printout on top of
the car while I unlocked the door.  Needless to say, a big gust of wind
came along and blew the printout across several cars.  There ain't no
way to refold a computer printout in the wind - what a mess!

	What really _hurt_ was that several people from an adjacent
building were so busy watching me and laughing their balls off, that no
one even offered to help.
