>That's interesting, Lou. I have no good answer for you. I don't remember ever thinking of Limburger cheese - ever in my life. When I use that expression, I honestly have no clue what variety of cheese it implies, or even what possible symbolism "cheese" itself has surrounding one being "in charge," etc.
"Food" for thought? (but not Limburger, please...I love cheese but am too scared to taste that one...;-))
