a V-8 moment might be! <g>

[It's the "Oh!" and hitting yourself in the forehead with the butt of the
palm of your hand, from a commercial about a boring yet good-for-you
(relatively) vegetable juice drink (tomato and celery mostly, I think) which

Sometimes on this list we have "Hai Karate" moments. (I'm dating myself.)

Thanks for taking note of that. I correspond with a couple of folks in
England and every few emails requires an explanation of "ism's" by one or
the other of us.
