Do I have your attention?

Another piece of useless triva you can use the next time you run out of chatter on the lift:

"The [first ski] chairlift was developed by James Curran...[In his prior job he] engineered banana conveyor systems to load cargo ships in the tropics."

Hmmm. Or is it "Boarders and Skiers are like Bananas"?????? :beer:
