<pre wrap="">Many years ago, a friend showed me an article in a bicycle magazine about how
to get ready for a race or big ride. It had all the expected things about
getting your bike ready. It also included ironing your shirt. ??? The idea
was that if you had time to iron your shirt you had already done all the
other stuff and you really were ready.

Or in other terms: Van Halen's tour contracts required a bowl of
M&Ms in the hotel room, with all the (IIRC) brown ones removed.
If the clause was not met they were not responsible for any damage
caused. The reason of course was that their stage equipment had
special requirements and if the venue people hadn't paid attention
to the documents they would also miss the M&Ms.<br>
