Greetings all,

there is also an important cultural difference in our approaches to mild
profanity at work here. Unlike Americans we don't usually use ass to
describe that part of our persons that so nicely fills out our jeans, we
use arse. A slight difference, but an important one. It is, after all, best
to differentiate between a donkey and your bum. It does admittedly cause
problems for the Australian Regional Shakuhachi Ensemble though....

Thanks,

Paul Donehue
