IRA/Roth is a tax planning thing, the chassis and DOHC are car terms, and the "agonizing MBA receptors" is -- just a guess -- something *everyone* who's ever worked with a bunch of MBAs has really and truly and *deeply* wanted to do!Which explains my post to the extent that it means anything beyond jumping into something that looked like fun and that made me laugh for the first time in a long time. OED is the Oxford English Dictionary -- the full story on words. I was trying to be funny, but hey -- Lit Major, "You want fries with that?" James Thurber was a funny writer -- "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", "Is Sex Necessary?" with E.B.White (their answer: not so much since the creation of crossword puzzles as I recall. VERY funny, but certainly a period piece -- a funny response to all the then-new Freudian focus on sex.)
And Positraction popped into my mind -- funny scene in the movie "My Cousin Vinny" included it, and the DOHC brought it bubbling up.
(Hey -- *not* thinking clearly at all today, no sleep, etc. I suspect you either knew most of that, or never wanted to. But you know? I just *had* to answer anyway. I hope that's OK, and if it's not -- I hope you'll understand...)
