Steve.. Did you know that the first *real* people shown in bed together were Lucy and Ricky on 'I Love Lucy'... but they each had to have one leg hanging off the side of the bed.  At least this is what I heard... who knows.  Val

Steve, the rule of thumb and GOLF thing are true or not? It is too funny to be true. I wish they were wrong.
