Folks, up front, I apologize deeply for going off topic here.  So if =
"off-topic" offends you, hit the delete key now.  It's a great way to =
end the Andersen bashing, once and for all.  Below is an item by a =
columnist in this morning's St. Petersburg Times.  After you read it, I =
may have stopped laughing enough to help you up off the floor. =20

Duke

*****
In the spirit of comic relief (and with apologies to Abbott and =
Costello's famous "Who's on first?" baseball routine), imagine this =
top-level exchange between two reluctant regulators on U.S. business =
practices: President Bush and SEC Commissioner Pitt.=20

BUSH: Now look, Harvey, I'm the head of the free world. The only way =
we're going to clean up this business mess and get on with our war on =
terrorism is to find out who's doing what in corporate America. So go =
ahead and tell me some of their names.=20

PITT: Yes sir, Mr. President. We have Who's at WorldCom, What's at =
Enron, I Don't Know's at Global Crossing.=20

BUSH: That's what I wanna find out.=20

PITT: I say Who's at WorldCom, What's at Enron, I Don't Know's at Global =
Crossing.=20

BUSH: You know the fellows' names?=20

PITT: Certainly!=20

BUSH: Well, then who's at WorldCom?=20

PITT: Yes!=20

BUSH: I mean the fellow's name!=20

PITT: Who!=20

BUSH: The guy at WorldCom!=20

PITT: Who is at WorldCom!=20

BUSH: Now whaddya askin' me for?=20

PITT: I'm telling you, Who is at WorldCom.=20

BUSH: Hmmm. Is the SEC investigating WorldCom?=20

PITT: Absolutely.=20

BUSH: Who is a target of that investigation?=20

PITT: Well, naturally!=20

BUSH: When you complete that investigation, who will be named?=20

PITT: For sure. Why not? He's in charge.=20

BUSH: Who is?=20

PITT: Yes.=20

BUSH: All I'm tryin' to find out is, what's the guy's name at WorldCom.=20

PITT: Oh, no -- wait a minute, don't switch 'em around. What is at =
Enron.=20

BUSH: I'm not askin' you who's at Enron.=20

PITT: Who is at WorldCom.=20

BUSH: I don't know.=20

PITT: He's at Global Crossing -- now we're not talkin' 'bout him.=20

BUSH: Now, how did I get to Global Crossing?=20

PITT: You mentioned his name!=20

BUSH: If I mentioned his name, who did I say is at Global Crossing?=20

PITT: No -- Who's at WorldCom.=20

BUSH: Never mind WorldCom. I want to know what's the guy's name at =
Global Crossing.=20

PITT: No -- What's at Enron.=20

BUSH: I'm not askin' you who's at Enron.=20

PITT: Who's at WorldCom.=20

BUSH: Yikes! You got other names?=20

PITT: Oh yes!=20

BUSH: The CEO at Tyco?=20

PITT: Why.=20

BUSH: I don't know, I just thought I'd ask you.=20

PITT: Well, I just thought I'd tell you.=20

BUSH: All right, then tell me who's the guy at Tyco.=20

PITT: Who is at WorldCom --=20

BUSH: Stay away from WorldCom! I wanna know what's the Tyco guy's name.=20

PITT: What's at Enron.=20

BUSH: I'm not askin' you who's at Enron.=20

PITT: Who's at WorldCom.=20

BUSH: I don't know.=20

PITT and Bush: Global Crossing!=20

BUSH: This is ridiculous. All I really wanted to know is who's at =
WorldCom. Why? I don't know. He's at Global Crossing and I don't give a =
darn!=20

PITT: What was that?=20

BUSH: I said I don't give a darn!=20

PITT: Oh, he's at Xerox.=20

BUSH: Clear as crystal, Harvey. Keep up the good work at the SEC.=20

PITT: Any time, Mr. President.=20


I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman: Where's the self-help =
section? She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.  Henny =
