The artwork on the fender is reminiscent of a "Vargas Girl" - for those of you in the crowd who are old enough to remember him.

The tanks and bags were also 'done up' with similar work. I should have photographed the whole thing.

That sounds like a fun job. Seems there will always be a demand for it. They were cutting up this RORO at the entrance to the harbor at Alexandria, Egypt.

Moron! How about not so stupid or naive to know what NOT to waste time on. And yes if some knucklehead did a calculation on an engineering project using a number line, I would fire him as well.

Or they had teachers that didn't waste their time on number lines; rather forced their students to memorize their multiplication tables!
