Mike, You were very funny, though a little caustic. Laughed all the way home. Actually laid aside my homework, dug out my copy of HF and laughed some more early this morning. Will do so again for several days, probably. :) Beth (I'm assuming you know this, Mike. Part of your quirky humor.), There is (or was) a corrected version published. Don't have the stuff near me to ascertain the date, but it came out shortly after Twain's original. Gratefully, both it and its author are long-forgotten. Proof there actually is a God. If you really want the details, Taylor might know.
