Be nice, guys. I can use the 'magic wand' and eliminate you from the record.

See how power corrupts? Don't test me.

Does the class fee include an engraving helmet?
David

No, I think that hat is only available to those who take the advanced finger nail engraving class as can be seen demonstrated by the master in the photo.  

[James Rogers]

No need to threaten Your Honor - all you need do now is rap your gravel and call the rabble to attention.

 I have heard that Viking helmets worn in America can only be worn with swimming trunks and tennis shoes.
Any else ever hear of that? I had a friend who worked as armed security for a bank in Los Angeles and he said
that every morning there was a man came in carrying a satchel and dressed in a grass skirt with tennis shoes
and a Viking helmet. One of the tellers said he had dressed that way for years and was harmless.
