	No, but I'm working on a theory that relates it to the appearances
of Cal Thomas' column on the op-ed page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

	The original lyric on which this fanciful image is based goes like
this:
"Sure, I've got rings on me fingers
 Bells on me toes
 And elephants to ride upon,
 Me little Irish rose.
 Come to yer nabob
 And on next Patrick's Day
 Be me mistress, istress, jumbo Jitty-Bob Jay
 O'Shea!"
	I just love the meaningful lyrics of those Good Old Songs!  >:-)>
	Yeah, it's irrelevant.. SO WHAT?!?!

	Won't make any difference.  It's not backward-compatible with 1992
and you'll have to re-install the network operating system and event drivers
anyway.  Ain't it a bitch?
