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.

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.

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

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

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!!

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."
