Okay, okay...so I'm not really single.  In fact, someone with a wife and two
sons can be considered about as far from single as one can get...  Anyway,
this reminded me of a letter I got from a fellow at TI in Texas.  He
addressed it to
	Bell-Northern Research
	Ottawa, Canada,
	K1Y 4H7

The route it took was obviously not unfamiliar to the postmaster in
Canada, Kentucky, who has a stamp, which, in large block letters, in red ink,
says:

	DOMINION OF CANADA

(in case you didn't see it, "K1Y" was misinterpreted by the US Snail as
 an abbreviation for "Kentucky"...)

Hope this brightens your day...
