[SEL] RE: Follow-up to Hornsby-Akroyd Piston Question

[fero_ah at city-net.com]

Gee, anybody wanna guess who has a dog shit (one on every corner) plain piston
Hornsby-Akroyd?  Bummer, man!  Tell ya wot I'm gonna do.  As Slick Willey would
have said; "I feel your pain!"

And since I've caused you SUCH distress, I feel it only fair to relieve your
pain.  I'll take that common scrufty Hornsby-Akroyd off your hands.  And not
for scrap price, or even DOUBLE scrap price.  I'll go WAY OUT THERE and offer
you TRIPLE scrap price!!!!  Such a deal, and ONLY because you're such a GOOD
friend!!  BUT, I do expect that you'll deliver it to Portland for that money!

See ya,  Arnie
