At random: Leonardo da Vinci, the Florentine Renaissance inventor and artist, developed plans for an underwater warship but kept them secret. He was afraid that it would make war even more frightful than it already was.

The Kalgoorlie arm of the Langtrees empire is up for sale at a mere $5 Million Aust$.

Downside is that business has dropped of some 40% over the last couple of years as the Mining Boom has kicked in and the boys don't have time for recreation, still it would a nice little earner even now.

Cheers,

POD

Well there goes my lifelong ambition....My dream was to be adopted by the royal family in some U.S. subsidized pint size kingdom and end up with a sock full of rinkydinks or whatever in the hell the idiots used for currency. And get a visa to Western Australia to visit LANGTREES...Get the three girl special and an autographed photo for my submarine wall....Now, it won't happen...that and my fantasy weekend with Meg Ryan..is there anything else to live for?

...as far as I know, there is still a 'branch' in Perth!

I might do a field trip one day and find out for you.

Gee, the things a guy has to do for a shipmate!

Give us a break, Blue! Knowing you, I bet you're on a first name basis with every girl in the place including the Madam. Ain't that right, POD? We all know POD would tell us the truth

No Ralph, I don't. Langtrees charge too much for their services.

Hey, We,ve got a former state governor who thinks nothing about dropping $4000 bucks a pop for chippy boom-boom time. What the world needs is a mobile franchise...something like the Model T Ford that will put carnal pleasure within reach of the averrage working man. Somebody like Brittany Spears, 200 pounds of towels and a Winnebago....and free Rolling Rock.... DEX

Wonder what the house's cut is on that 4 grand?  I'd like a piece (pun intended) of that action.

What's the going rate for a franchise?

That's right Ralph in fact I've been told I couldn't lie straight in bed so I guess that proves it.

I've been sad all day...My dreams, ambitions, fantasy plans for the future shattered and gone....What will become of my lifetime penny collection now that they are no longer dropping their lingerie at LANGTREES...Who wants to go 15,000 miles in a no frills air bus to see an aboriginie play a diggery-doo, eat go-anna jerky and watch duck billed platypuses do each other? I hope I don't cry all night like I did last night. DEX
