This will promptly identify who is truly wearing the pants in the family. Then, with this information in hand, formally threaten the "head" with a public disclosure of how <i>really</i> good the household support has been for the faithful treading of the ox., via means of Idea #8 (above) on "dog-and-pony" show-day. <br /><br />Advantage: This pressure could promote the transfer/release of a querulous and overbearing, self-assigned lay "head of the local <i>church</i>."<br /><br />Disadvantages:<br /><br />1. Among the VehseQuesters, the ox has been muzzled and beaten to a pulp, with a SOLID cane, long ago.<br />2. This may not work all that well, north of the English "Lake District," or even the English District, among those with names prefixed by "Mac." Like, say, M[a]cKenzie.<br /><br />Or Burns. Like <i>George</i> Burns.<br /><br />Okay, so I didn't say this idea was <i>perfect.</i> "Say goodnight, Gracie."<br /><br />Your (unworthy) servant,<br />Herr DoktorMichael L.
