[dsn_klr650] nklr: spam, it's what's for dinner 1938

[Calis]

I remember hearing that the Gulf War was the first war/conflict/etc.. since WWII that SPAM wasn't going to be part of the field rations because it actually contains some portion (meat maybe) from pigs and the Arabs wouldn't allow it. Calis

This was when canned food was not in everyone's larder......not everyone had refrigerators.......cars had a 3-speed column shift.....Harley-Davidsons looked about the same, though....no one had television, everyone listened to radio......a good dual sport bike would be a H-D 45... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tradiant is creating the premier marketplace for shippers and carriers as well as a comprehensive family of e-commerce solutions that give transportation companies the competitive edge.
