Re: [DML] Helicopter

[Michael Paine <mpaine@xxxx>]

This past Easter I was meeting some people for lunch at a nice resturant. I 
stopped on the way to buy flowers from this little girl and her mother who were 
selling flowers on the side of the road. The little girl said, "hey! it's the 
back to the future car!" and her mother just smiled. The little girl asked me 
where I got it and I told her I got it in Maryland. She then whirled around and 
pleaded, "Mom! we HAVE to go to maryland right away!!!" I chuckled to myself at 
her thinking that's where these cars come from while I drove away and went to 
dinner.
