<p>[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 4657160, member: 93702"]No need to apologize at all my friend.. funny story: when I was a kid the local grocery store had a promotion where each month if you spent enough money at the store you would get a free volume of Encyclopedia Britannica. These were large leather bound books (maybe it was faux leather - I never noticed.. but they were of good quality print and heavy paper) ...So January they gave away the book with everything starting with "A", February the prize was "B", etc.. on and on... so my mother made this her mission to get us a set for the house. She almost made it.. for some reason we were always missing "P" and "XY" (which was one volume)... </p><p>So the endless struggle for me, my brother and sister during elementary and high school was to avoid being assigned a project, essay or paper that fell under "P" and "XY".... we still laugh at it today.
