It was so over everybody's head, that he felt the need to delete it.

It's why we call railroad engineers "Hogheads" or "Hoggers" An apt term for sure.

Not to change the topic, but I was fascinated by the T shirt folder. I have always wanted fingerless gloves but don't know how to properly fold them. Do they make a fingerless glove folder....I'm only interested if it can be operated without using my pinkie's.
