That toe with the name of King Felix on it must be one hell of a toe. ;-)

I've never been known to go over board for pitching prospects.  I'll dip my
toes in the water but no more.  Are you suggesting that Brad's a nymph?

So, Rich, who's going to tie you to the mast?

Beware the Siren Songs of Pitching Prospects
Brad.
?
Returning from
the abode of the shades, Ulysses revisited the AEaean isle and 
recounted to
Circe his adventures and the wondrous visions and the laws of Hell. She 
in
return speeded his homeward voyage, instructing him particularly how to 
pass
safely by the coast of the Sirens. 1 Odyssey, 12. ?


These nymphs had the power, as has been already said, of
charming by their song all who heard them, so that mariners were 
impelled to
cast themselves into the sea to destruction. Circe directed Ulysses to 
stop the
ears of his seamen with wax, so that they should not hear the strain; 
to have
himself bound to the mast, and to enjoin his people, whatever he might 
say or
do, by no means to release him till they should have passed the Sirens' 
island.
Ulysses obeyed these directions. As they approached the Sirens' island, 
the sea
was calm, and over the waters came notes of music so ravishing and 
attractive
that Ulysses struggled to get loose and, by cries and signs to his 
people,
begged to be released; but they, obedient to his previous orders, 
sprang forward
and bound him still faster. They held on their course, and the music 
grew
fainter till it ceased to be heard, when with joy Ulysses gave his 
companions
the signal to unseal their ears; and they relieved him from his bonds. 
It is
said that one of the Sirens, Parthenope, in grief at the escape of 
Ulysses
drowned herself. Her body was cast up on the Italian shore where now 
stands the
city of Naples, in early times called by the Siren's name.
