Although, I've had crews that I've hired (here in the States), that I
think would have dug quicker (and more carefully) if I'd told them there
was a case of beer at the bottom of their unit!

Speaking of beverages, did any of you happen to catch Saturday Night
Live this past Saturday. They had a somewhat amusing skit about the Maya
collapse. I missed the beginning of the skit, but, basically, it blamed
the collapse on the Maya having discovered the wonders of chocolate just
as the Toltecs were invading. Because of drinking chocolate, the Maya
didn't feel like fighting, and thus, the Maya civilization ended. 

Think maybe if all the parties in Iraq were to sit down over a warm cup
of cocoa they'd forget about fighting.
