You can subscribe to com-priv by sending this message subscribe com-priv to [email protected] You know, I've wondered what would happen if people all decided to use candy canes instead of phones. This would mean that many more candy canes would be needed to replace broken and gnawed-on ones which would lead to a great increase in the demand for sugar. Not all of this could be supplied by replanting the peanut fields to sorghum so it would be necessary to come to terms with Cuba in order to get access to the quantity of sugar needed for the candy cane factories. And think of the need for loony bins and shrinks to deal with a nation of insane people! Some people would go nuts talking to the candy canes and getting no reply. Others would fall off the deep end eavesdropping on their spouse having phone sex talking to a candy cane. This would be a goldmine for anyone who had a bachelor's degree in psychology. Anyone have any thoughts/comments in regard to this as well?
