a somewhat related story on hummers
SDAI I'm afraid I'm a Hummer fan.
I like the little birds but mantises are cool bugs.
Reminds me of a story I'll regret telling after I tell it.
My daughter was Director of Marketing for Nortel Communications. Running a trade show she was manning (or daughtering) the show booth. As a promo, she announced, "I'm giving away a free hummer to the person whose business card we pick after you register at our booth". She was met with loud applause and cheers and her boss had to take her aside and tell her not to use that particular phraseology.
