I think that is from Homer's Odyssey, when Odysseus tied himself the mast and crew used beeswax so as not hear the Sirens so as not to steer ship into the rocks.
The movie O'Brother Where Art Thou is based on the Odyssey and is a very funny Coens brothers movie. |

I need to figure put how to not look at gun sites on the computer. This has led to my financial discomfort on more than one occasion.

This is a recollection of a conversation that happened at the Southern HOF dinner. I actually have to thank Mr A. Wheaton for setting the flag in the ground for the his answer to my question answer of his question of how many Parkers I had. He said he had "a lot," I asked him how many in "a lot," he said about 200. The reason that I have to thank him is that my Pretty Wife was sitting between us and now considers that I have about 175 to go to get to "a lot," that she will let me get a few more.
How does this refer back to the subject of this thread, well let me put it this way, if one has the patience one will get "a lot" of Parkers.

And just when I was starting to think I had a lot, I learn I’ve only just begun. Oh my.
