As an official representative of the split window population here in
waterworld, I must say that the jail bars appeared on the Deluxe busses in the
50's. Good thing I know all this wonderful stuff, eh?  Actually, there's a blue
Vanagon on my street with jail bars. Pretty crazy, I just noticed the jail bars
yesterday, and was thinking how curious it was. Now, here's this discussion to
set me at ease. Thanks, V@L !

Happy Friday
