That reminds me of a saying tha told folks around here used to use when talking to a naughty or rambunctious youngster:
(it went something like this)
"If you don't behave there's going to be nothing left of you but some hair and a greasy spot when I'm finished!"
Ya know, we didn't push our luck with our elders when I was growing up. ;o)

Great job, Curt! Another 10. ;o)
