    Sounds like a STD. :eek:

    I'm sure there's a pill to help, but I doubt you'll be able to get it under Obama Care.

    it is also April spelled backwards.

    Prof. I. Lirpa's eponymous products would show up annually in the (ahem) April issue of the wonderful, late, and lamented Audio magazine.

    'nuff said.
