BOB: This comment brings to mind the time, in a museum setting, when
I rested my camera bag on a table, only to be assaulted by an
indignant curator who shouted for all to hear that the table was a
valuable antique. My response was that "it is also a table."

PS: I keep my Magna Carta under a dust cover: my copy of The Domesday Book.
