ROTFL!!!!!
Ken, I think the ultimate revenge for this would be to share with the rest
of us the ultimate arcane mystery: the list digest numbers where this old
story transpired. Or, is that one of those secrets where you would have to
kill us if you told us?
Personally, my test subjects seem to be either trees or steam locomotives.
I guess that makes me some sort of Druidish engineer...

The "test" Nutcracker is used to tear apart elcheapo Soligor lenses that
have died merciless deaths on trains in Amsterdam.
I gave up my test swans when I moved to the Des Moines River Mountain Range
here in the highlands of Iowa. But I've gained "test" Bison. Is that
manly enough for you?
I've also traded barges moving up and down the Mississippi for the constant
stream of 100,000 trucks passing every day on Interstate 80.
