Veggie?  Australians call handicapped people veggies?? My eyes practically
bugged out of my head when I read that.  I know there are cultural differences.
 As I mentioned before we were cautioned at the Atlanta Olympics not to call
our waistpacks "fanny packs" as we normally do as it is offensive to some.  But
if someone calls my wife a "veggie" when she's competing there next month, I'm
going to come out swinging.
