Only the ones with lead in them.

Given that both Whiffle and Wiffle are mentioned in this thread, I guess they have the mis-spelling issue sewn up too.

But just FYI, Whifflers were a (fictional) brand of cigarettes in Dorothy L Sayers' Murder Must Advertise in which Lord Peter Wimsey joins a copywriting firm. His most successful campaign involves the slogan, "If that's what you want you can Whiffle for it" which involves people smoking great quantities of cigarettes in order to collect vouchers. So not a very healthy association really.

You are correct, it is Wiffle. And made in 'Merka! :) <----- yellow smilie

I'm compelled now to state that I'm not a lawyer. But I have learned a few thing working in an IP firm for 20 years.

I am also not a lawyer.
But I did give head to a law student.

Shawnee123 08-03-2010 01:47 PM

In college, we called the law students "law bags."

No idea why, but I like how it fits with your, ahem, head story. :lol:

classicman 08-03-2010 03:30 PM

Oh glatt - just bustin' yer chops, I know you aren't really a lawyer

That made me really scratch my head. Some folks' conclusions scare me and make me lose tiny slivers of faith in the advancement of society and humanity.

By that logic, is it safe to say "How should we expect the US Military to succeed in Afghanistan when the same damn government can't even hire competent people at the DMV?!!" ...?

NO ONE IS COMING TO GET YOU.
Unless I'm really that naïve.

I know, but I'm obligated by the ethics of this industry to make sure nobody thinks I'm a lawyer. If you say I'm a lawyer, somebody else might think it's true, so then I have to make it clear that I'm not.

Succeed in Afghanistan? Succeed in Afghanistan?


Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!

Good one!! :D:D:D

Actually, the DMV is a different government - State. I seriously have to say that near San Diego, we have two DMV offices near me. One in Poway, another in El Cajon.

The one in Poway is absolutely horrid - they can't find their butt cheeks with both hands, in a well-lit room. Couldn't register a brand new Chevy truck, for instance, and you wait forever.

The DMV office in El Cajon is WONDERFUL - knowledgeable, efficient. They are GOOD! Whomever is running that office, should run for Governor. No joke.

Sheldon, you can't pee magenta...Verizon has that one trademarked. And we all learned that Glatt was not an attorney when he knew the word ethics!

Bureaucrats just the same ;) The notion of "succeed in Afghanistan" is a whole different bag of nails... it might be kind of like "succeeding in meeting Santa Claus."
