Diana, I couldn't agree more.  It is impossible to joke on the Internet.
But, I just thought Juan's and Hermine's banter was so amusing I couldn't
resist--and in my mind the image of a duel with long cylindrical sharp
pointed sanseveria leaves was just to apropos to pass by.  Sometimes we just
have to send in the joke and suffer its consequences.
