This is just to set the record straight. I do not, and have not, at any time
ever owned a Ferrari or any other high performance automobile.
Once, while I was vacationing in Hawaii, Tom Selleck offered me a ride
in his car, but being fully aware that people who own Ferrari's
"suck the blood of poor people", I naturally refused.... On second
thoughts, I hereby retract my previous statement. I have not, in
my present incarnation, to the best of my knowledge, ever been
to Hawaii or its neighboring islands.

I do, however, own a Rabbit (which has disappointed me by not multiplying --
given the rabbit's legendary prowess in such matters), and I am willing
to set up a "C'mon guys, let's buy Sanjaya a Ferrari Fund" if there is
enough support from you netters out there.

Thanking you,
				       I remain,
				       Very Sincerly yours,

I don't know! what is so demeaning about being asked whether you
travel in india by a horse drawn coach... you pay  a damn $25 bucks
in the newyork city... i think innocence is not ignorance or
cannot be viewed as american arrogance... there are certain things
about the life style of india(ns) that are not shown regularly
on abc or nbc or pbs. it is possible for people to ask such
questions out of innocence, for they most of the time watch
some shooting, a lot sex, and a few dictators etc.. on their tv
...thanks...kt
