Default Big-5 telescope humor

The Sunday Big-5 flyer in today's newspaper shows a C-Star 700=20
power (!) reflecting telescope. The kicker is the picture shows=20
the telescope upside-down with the mirror end up toward the sky.=20
It looks like the finder is on backwards too. ;-)

It must be one of those new Reverse-Newtonian high-powered optical designs
with -5x finder .

That's Big-5's dew prevention orientation -- you must purchase the
optional first-surface mirror, which is placed on the ground, to see
the faint fuzzies in the sky.

What's really a ****er is Big-5 did't have the shoes I wanted to buy
in my size (Wilson Court Avenger, size 11); dumb fucquers (apologies
for my French :-)

Maybe JMI can sue Big-5 for the "look behind" mode implied by Big-5's
orientation of their DST (Department Store Trash) reflector which is
in conflict with JMI's (presumed patented) bino-telescopes. :-)
