All this discussion about antenna connections brings to mind an old story about a mathematician, a theoretical physicist, and an engineer. They began pondering a thought experiment about a man and a beautiful naked red head standing six feet apart. The question was this; if the man halves the distance between himself and the red head each second, how long will it take before he reaches her? 

 The mathematician and the physicist both immediately answered that of course the man would never reach her. 

The engineer calculated that in four seconds he'd be close enough for all practical purposes.

This is what comes from listening to the annual "Prairie Home Companion" joke show this evening.

 Ya'll take it easy and have a nice Sunday.
