   Easy. Think you are working with object of some classes. Let say there
are Animals and ColorThings. Imagine us constructing Animals hierarchy:

class Animal: ...

class Mouse(Animal): ...

class Elephant(Animal): ...

   Now to color things:

class ColorThings:
   color = "no color"

class Red(ColorThings):
   color = "red"

class Grey(ColorThings):
   color = "grey"

   Now let us construct grey mouse:

class GreyMouse(Grey, Mouse): pass

   What about red elephant? :)

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
