Hi, Fayette and Michele, you recall our discussion on pineapple decoration some weeks ago? my reference to William IV (reign 1830-1837) and his apparent obsession with pineapples?

Hope so, otherwise this is a waste of bandwidth.

Anyways, a connection with pineapples seems to have existed with sailors, (maybe it still does) and William's nickname was in fact the 'The Sailor King'

Here's a .jpg showing another sailor's obsession for pineapples, maybe even more excessive than William.

I think you're right, it's a bit like 'my other car is a Ferrari' ;>
