The inspiration came from a car ad that we had on Australian TV many years ago - with people pulling keys from a bowl. It seemed to be a fitting modernisation of pulling names from a bowl in Roman times.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Square1, Keith, Tammi, Paul and Barb for your comments on a story that I thought was pretty weak - I'm glad that you all enjoyed it ... and never thought that I could adequately combine history and humour (though I had a history teacher in Year 11 who was quite good at it!)<BR/><BR/>Square1 - it's a good thing we've both got guys who dig us!!
