     Ok, after a coffee pause, I found it in 10 minutes :)))) Thanks for reading anyway. I just had to use the cos(a)*cos(b) stuff twice, et voila.

     While they had a coffee pause, and one of them was not able toopen the jar, he suddenly explored increased blood pressure which was seen on his face, and odd words were flowing out of his mouth - and all of sudden there was jam everywhere, for everybody.

     Different question totally is does your boss have to allow smoking at work. Of course not! Work is work, usually there is two coffee pauses and one lunch break during standard work day, and those breaks should be enough for smokers too...

     You should try Lavazza just before and just after you paint, Bruce. Coffee, then attach the painbrushes to your feet and on you go. Then a coffee pause, and on you go (on the wet paint) again:-) This way you'll get the "look" that is very "in" where I live. Patiné. Old look!Excellent exercise and I guarantee that you won't think of T for one second.
