Can't clubs (or shops) get together and arrange "charity" sponsor runs, or whatever at dive fairs? I'm sure that the hospitals-with-chambers foundations would be glad to organize something like a "march-of-narcs" as a fundraiser, and give to the public at large a chamber ride with a big wad of bubble gum for, say, $20 a head. Come to think of it, don't use bubble gum, but "ordinary" gum, as the expanding bubbles (when the pressure is released) are bound to make an awful mess... - -------- Vive le Quebec Libre! (C.
