American Red Cross volunteers are fairly literate, so it wouldn't surprise me to learn that one or more of them know that Belshazzar's Feast is a biblical story from which we get the phrase "the handwriting is on the wall."
[Nice to hear from you Stuart, though it saddens me that your first post in ages violated the rules of the game by using only one-half of the complete bolded phrase. I'll (generously) attribute it to computer "rustiness" rather than some sort of misguided Greenbergian malevolence directed at yours truly. ;D
As for Bob Dole, er, WMC2006 being the mod's favorite, I am forced to conclude that there really is no accounting for taste.]
