"knees bees" ... maybe I'm missing a joke, but I always said "bees knees" in this context as a play on "business"

"Bee's Knees" == absolutely the best

but is it better than the dog's bollocks?

Or the cat's whiskers

All from 1920s slang. Apart from dog's bollocks I imagine.

Nothing beats the duck's nuts

Fixed it, thanks. Sometimes my mind to finger interface changes packets on the way. I guess my nervous system uses UDP.

You're alone not :-)

I'm almost 65 and I never put "bee's knees" together with "business." And they say you can't teach an old dog....
