[BITList] brooch- regift

[CT's]

I didn't know regifting has been around for 10

been doing it much longer.

I too have been broaching on the broaching machine - round holes to square, 
etc. (those broaching bars must have been a hell of a price - considering 
the work that must have gone into making one).

brooch-broach/humour-humor.....................................................

and here's a couple more - ain't they perdy?
