   Ah yes, the stone. Always wondered what a stone weighed.

   A friend of mine who was drafted into the Marines during the Korean
   war was stationed in the south.  He was befriended by a local rural
   family that would invite him over for dinner.  For one particularly
   delicious meal, he asked for the recipe.  Among other ingredients,
   it called for black molasses - THREE GLUGS!

   PS   For you who are not from the rural South, when you pour
   molasses from a bottle, it goes glug, glug, glug!
