source file: mills2.txt Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 23:43:09 -0800 Subject: Amusing Quote From: Gary Morrison <71670.2576@compuserve.com> I can't recall which, but one of the generals of the American Civil War readily admited that he was utterly and completely tonedeaf. He was quoted as saying that he recognized only two tunes: One of them was Yankee Doodle, and the other, he said, was not. I didn't grasp how bloody that war was until I saw the PBS documentary series. On one battle, about 7000 men died in just under two minutes. Yow! Sorry, I'm off the subject, but I thought that quote amusing. I've met a few people like that!
