   And oh how I wish we all would just pick a time and stay with it! I have never heard a convincing argument for the system that we have now. Gobbledegook about farmers and school kids and energy “saving” probably made sense in 1945. It makes no sense now.

    Odd comments here to the poster’s sly joke. I think the giggle intended was: “what PART of the corpse” is Honey being shown, ist es nicht so?
