Re: ?

Bob:
       Why, if people , knew, squash was worth as much as pumpkin, they would grow them, I'm sure,
as the system now is to have a pumpkin as close as we can get it to a squash and still pass as a pumpkin
is a game of chance of the weigh off you are attending.
       Heavy takes all - sound's good to me  Cuts all the crap out & makes you shoot for the biggest which
is the name of the game.
