Seems that as of late people are flocking back to the old ANSI BBSs after they get fed up with - and even disillusioned - by the W3. Strange how things turn out. So, while the HMVH Corporation BBS remains *temporarily* out of commission, I'll just have to sit here at the office, usually in the dead of night, putting volumes and volumes of jokes together. It's gotten so bad that some people refuse to tell me jokes because I've probably heard it already... Waffle, waffle... here's the next volume of...

The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Verbs have to agree with their subjects. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. A writer must not shift your point of view. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.) Don't overuse exclamation marks!! Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing. Always pick on the correct idiom. The adverb always follows the verb. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.

After a couple of days, they all decided a man will "marry" the woman for a week, then the next will "marry" and so on. So each man would have sex every six weeks and the woman would have it all the time. This goes on for several years, but the woman dies after five years. The first week after her death was all right. The second was all right, but getting bad. The third and fourth week was barely bearable. The fifth week they decided to bury her.....

When he arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family there, who roundly and soundly congratulated him and sent him on his way with a tidy gift envelope. At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures. At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When he had had enough they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge. "All this was just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the dollar for?" "Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you. He said, 'Fuck him. Give him a dollar.' The breakfast was my idea."

Please pull down your pants." The man pulled down his pants, the doctor grabbed his testicles and told him to say 55. The man said "55." The doctor then grabbed the man's penis and told him to say 55. The man said "55." The doctor then told the man to turn around, and putting a finger in the man's anus he once again told him to say 55. The man said "1.....2.....3....."

Miller Brewing Company Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201 Dear Sir or Madam, I have been a drinker of Miller beer's for many years (actually, ever since that other company donated a big chunk of change to Handgun Control Inc. back in the mid 80's). Initially, my beer of choice was Lite, but some time in mid 1990 while in Honduras I switched to MGD smuggled up from Panama. Now, for nearly six years, I have been a faithful drinker of MGD. For these past years, I have come to expect certain things from Genuine Draft. I expect that whenever I see that gold can of MGD, I am about ready to enjoy a great, smooth brew.. But wait! Sometime around the first of the year, my beloved MGD changed colors, so to speak. That familiar gold can was no longer gold! Knowing that I am, by nature, somewhat resistant to change, I forced myself to reserve judgment on the new can design. Gradually, I grew to appreciate the new label. That was until about May of this year. That was when I discovered (empirically) that I really didn't like the new design. Further investigation of the cause of my distress resulted in the following observations: 1. Your cans are made of aluminum. 2. Aluminum is a great conductor of energy. 3. Your beer is commonly consumed outside, and thus, the container may be exposed to sunlight. 4. Sunlight striking the can causes radiant warming of the surface of the can. 5. The resultant heat (energy) is transferred through the aluminum, by conduction, to the contents of the can (the beer). 6. Warm beer sucks. This is a process that can be observed in just about any beer. However, this process is significantly accelerated in MGD because you painted the damn can black!!! Who was the rocket scientist that designed the new graphic for the can and implemented the change right before summer? Granted, this process may not be real evident up there in Wisconsin, but down here in Oklahoma (OR TEXAS) where the summers are both sunny and hot, this effect is quite a problem. There's no telling what the folks in Texas and Arizona are having to put up with. Knowing that you would probably not address this issue unless you had firm evidence of a problem, I and several other subjects conducted extensive experimentation. The results of these experiments are listed below. The experiments were conducted over two days on the deck next to my pool. The study included seven different types of beer (leftovers from a party the previous weekend) that were initially chilled to 38 (and then left exposed to sunlight for different lengths of time. These beers were sampled by the test subjects at different intervals. The subjects, all normally MGD drinkers, were asked at each sampling interval their impressions of the different beers. The length of time between the initial exposure to sunlight and the point where the subject determined the sample undrinkable (the Suckpoint) was determined. The average ambient temperature for the trials was 95 degrees F. Beer Type Average Suckpoint (min) Miller Lite (white can) 6.2 Bud (white can) 5.5 Bud Lite (silver can) 5.2 Ice House (blue and silver can) 4.4 Coors Lite (silver can) 4.1 Miller Genuine Draft (black can) 2.8 Coors (gold can) 0.1 It was evident that the color of the can directly correlates to the average suckpoint, except for Coors which was pretty much determined to suck at any point. It is to be hoped that you will consider re-designing your MGD cans. All beer drinkers that are not smart enough to keep their beer in the shade will thank you. Sincerely, Bradley Lee Beer-drinker ----- >> ----- Dear Bradley Lee, Thank you for your letter and your concern about the MGD can color as it relates to premature warming of the contents. Like you, we at Miller Beer take beer drinking very seriously. To that end, we have taken your letter and subsequent experiment under serious consideration. Outlined below are our findings and solution to your problem. May we add that we have had similar letters from other loyal beer drinkers, mostly from the Southern United States. First, let us congratulate you on your findings. Our analysis tends to agree with yours regarding Coors. It certainly does suck at about any temperature. Now, it was our intentions when redesigning the MGD can to create better brand identity and brand loyalty. Someone in marketing did some kind of research and determined we needed to redesign the can. You will be pleased to know, we have fired that idiot and he is now wreaking havoc at a pro-gun control beer manufacturer. The design staffer working in cahoots with the marketing idiot was also down-sized. However, once we realized this mistake, to undo it would have been even a bigger mistake. So, we took some other actions. From our market research, we found a difference between Northern beer drinker and Southern beer drinkers. Beer drinkers in the South tend to drink slower than beer drinkers in the North. We are still researching why that is. Anyway, at Miller Beer, it was never our intentions to have someone take more than 2.5 minutes to enjoy one of our beers. We pride ourselves in creating fine, smooth, quick drinking beers and leave the making of sissy, slow sipping beers to that Sam guy in Boston. However, it is good to know that you feel our Miller Lite can last as long as 6 minutes. However, may we suggest in the future you try consuming at least two in that time frame. From your letter, we had our design staff work 'round the clock to come up with a solution that would help not just MGD but all our fine Miller products. We hope you have recently noticed our solution to your problem. We found that the hole in the top of the can was not big enough for quick consumption. So, we have now introduced the new "Wide Mouth" cans. We hope this will solve all your problems. Might I also suggest that if you want to get the beer out of the can even faster, you can poke a hole on the side near the bottom, hold your finger over it, open the can, tip it to your mouth and then pull your finger off the hole. This is a common way to drink beer at parties and impress your friends. This technique is known as "shot-gunning". You should like the name. Again, thank you for your letter and bring to our attention that there might be other beer drinkers taking more that 2.5 minutes to drink our beers. Let me assure you that I am have our advertising department work on campaign to solve this problem, too. Sincerely, Tom B. Miller Public Relations Miller Brewing Co. P.S. And remember, at Miller Beer we do favor gun control, too. So please use two hands when firing.

On the second day of the cruise, the ship slams into an iceberg and begins to sink. Passengers around him are screaming, flailing, and drowning but our guy manages to grab on to a piece of driftwood and, using every last ounce of strength, swims a few miles through the shark-infested sea to a remote, deserted island. Sprawled on the shore nearly passed out from exhaustion, he turns his head and sees a woman lying near him, unconscious, barely breathing. She's also managed to wash up on shore from the sinking ship.. He makes his way to her, and with some mouth-to-mouth assistance he manages to get her breathing again. She looks up at him, wide-eyed and grateful, "My God, you saved my life!" He suddenly realizes the woman is Cindy Crawford! Days and weeks go by. Cindy and our guy are living on the island together. They've set up a hut,there's fruit on the trees, and they're in heaven. Cindy's fallen madly in love with our man, and they're making passionate love morning, noon and night. Alas, one day she notices he's looking kind of glum. "What's the matter, sweetheart?" she asks, "We have a wonderful life together, I'm in love with you. Is there something wrong? Is there anything I can do?" He says, "Actually, Cin, there is. Would you mind, um, putting on my shirt?" "Uh, sure," she says, "if this will help." He takes off his shirt and she puts it on. "Now would you put on my pants?" he asks. "Sure honey, if it's really going to make you feel better," she says. "Um, OK, would you put on my hat now, and draw a little mustache on your face?" he asks. "Whatever you want, honey," she says, and does. Then he says, "Now, would you start walking around the edge of the island?" She starts walking around the perimeter of the island. He sets off in the other direction. They meet up halfwayaround the island a few minutes later. He rushes up to her, grabs her by the shoulders, and says, "Dude! You'll never believe who I'm sleeping with!" ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ This is an essay written by my son, Chris Urich. He posted it on our local Citadel BBS under his alias. (BTW, I asked him for his permission before posting this.) 94Nov17 10:01 pm from AnonyMOUSE!!! ======================================================== ASSHOLES - an essay by the one, the only, AnonyMOUSE!!! Part 1 ======================================================== Assholes invade every walk of modern life. It seems the very air we breathe contains some virus that infects the teeming masses with this horrid affliction. Everywhere you look, an asshole lurks. What exactly -is- an asshole? Well, there is the obvious anatomical reference, but the type of asshole we're looking for spews a different kind of shit, smelly it may still be. We seek to define that person, who upon leaving a room, causes people to lean over to other people and whisper, "What an asshole!" Now, all of us can -act- like assholes, we do it all the time, in fact, I'm doing it right now. By pointing a disapproving finger toward the very sphincter I so readily emulate, I'm being a SELF-RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLE (thus we see the asshole can actually serve a useful and even constructive purpose; more on that later in this essay). In searching for a definition of an asshole, we find that the asshole is a complex character indeed. The asshole embraces many, many qualities, and cannot be so easily pigeon-holed. A single definition would not do a true asshole justice. A better approach would be to break down various assholes into flavors and varieties. There are many different kinds of assholes. An important subspecies of asshole is the STUPID ASSHOLE (not to be confused with its close cousin, the IGNORANT ASSHOLE). Stupid assholes derive their basic asshole attributes from sheer lack of cognitive ability. A stupid asshole could not think his or her way out of a wet paper bag. Stupid assholes are best embodied by the character of Chachi on "Happy Days". Chachi was the archetypical stupid asshole. He burnt down Arnold's diner in a spectacular display of stupidity. He threw his apron on the burning hot grill that, like a moron, he had left on. What kind of stupid asshole would do that? Someone dumb enough to let people continue to call him "Chachi" and still consider himself "cool". And he had the classic symptom of a stupid asshole, he felt just HORRIBLE after doing a stupid asshole thing, and yet you KNOW he would do the same stupid asshole thing again because he's such a pinhead. If he had acted without remorse, he would still have been a stupid asshole, and also have been another kind, the ARROGANT ASSHOLE. (and by the way, Joanie was an even stupider asshole than Chachi for -loving- Chachi. Didn't that just make you want to vomit?) Okay, the ARROGANT ASSHOLE is next. An arrogant asshole is basically a stupid asshole who has channeled all of his or her stupidity into a inflated self image. These deluded miscreants actually believe their pathetic existence really matters one way or another in the scheme of things. The key here is the arrogant asshole lives in denial of his or her own flaws (like if Chachi had denied his stupidity in burning down Arnold's; thus he was just a stupid asshole, not an arrogant one). Any cast member of "Beverly Hills 90210" believing that they deserve any recognition at all from intellegent people would fall under this category. I mean, would anyone lose any sleep if that cunt Shannon Doherty got crushed under a bus? I might. I'd be awfully sore from laughing so hard. A particularly repulsive form of asshole is the LYING ASSHOLE. I have two words to sum up the lying asshole: Oliver North. And the people who voted for him to be a Virginia Senator are a special southern category of the stupid asshole: DUMBASS REDNECK HICK COUSIN-LOVIN' ASSHOLES. 'Nuff said. A lot of bad things happen because of INCOMPETENT ASSHOLES. Now, incompetent assholes are often stupid assholes and/or ignorant assholes. But incompetent assholes can be incompetent because of being LAZY ASSHOLES (discussed later) and taking short cuts, but most often incompetent assholes are just FUCKUPS. Fuckups are not assholes until they apply themselves to whatever they are good at fucking up. There are military fuckups (the "friendly fire" fuckups from the Gulf War), government fuckups (paying thousands of dollars for a toilet seat), romantic fuckups (the guy who thinks being honest and answering "Yes" to the question "Do I look fat?" is a good idea), sports fuckups (the guy who ran the wrong way in a football game to score a safety for the other team). The key to being an incompetent asshole, however, is consistently fucking up. These people are created by putting too much creedence in the "If at first you don't succeed..." cliche. I went to school with a guy who failed the geometry regents FOUR TIMES. He finally gave up, although by giving up, he didn't get a regent's diploma. But he was smart enough to realize he was a MATH FUCKUP, and didn't want to become an INCOMPETENT MATH ASSHOLE (like certain statisticians working for the government). Incompetent assholes also fuck up because they tend to fold under pressure. Does the name Scott Norwood ring any bells for any of you Buffalo Bills fans out there? Mentioned earlier was the IGNORANT ASSHOLE. A lot of ordinary people suffer from this, a stultifying lack of knowledge that leads to things like race riots and T-shirts reading "Burn THIS flag!" Usually, an ignorant asshole is the natural result of being a stupid asshole, but increasingly it comes from being a LAZY ASSHOLE. LAZY ASSHOLES are all the rage these days. People who drive cars two blocks for a carton of milk, who won't change the channel on their TV sets if they can't find the remote control, who would rather vegitate in front of said TV instead of gaining useful knowledge and enlightenment from books (leading to the ignorant asshole condition), who empty their ashtrays in parking lots instead of putting the ashes in one of those empty fast food bags on the floor of their car and throwing it in the nearest trash can. Everything in this country caters to these assholes, everything seems designed (or at least is advertised) as a "labor saving device". If it saves work, it will be a huge seller. Make something that does some tedious task, like picking your nose, with "a touch of a button" and you will be rich beyond your wildest imaginings (oh yeah, all that get rich quick stuff and gambling also caters to lazy assholes, and to stupid ones that can't figure out that they're getting fleeced). Which leads to the GREEDY ASSHOLE. These are the assholes that will commit absolutely any act, no matter how morally depraved, for material greed. For enough money, they would tell the National Enquirer that their dead best friend was a slutty bitch who had lesbian sex. They would disappoint millions of children by not playing baseball. For mighty dollar, they would appear at the Music Man on Sunday nights and play music that they absolutely detest for gentile old folks who have no idea that their favorite musician is such an asshole. They would say God will strike them down if you don't send them millions of dollars. They would take dicks up their asses on camera for money, and then get born again and accuse the people who gave them lots of cash of exploiting them. Which also makes them SELF-RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLES. The SELF-RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLE is the most dangerous animal on the face of the earth. No creature has ever caused more death and destruction than the self-righteous asshole. The crusades were one group of self-righteous assholes killing another group of self-righteous assholes over a piece of useless desert. Gangs of self-righteous assholes fight over the same strip of barren land even today. Self-righteous assholes appear on television in modern times and beg for money in the name of God. Then they rent hotel rooms and jerk off while unwashed, hairy, cheesy, ugly hookers finger themselves (that makes them stupid assholes, too, for not being smart enough to find good-looking, clean ones). Self-righteous assholes call up electronic bulletin boards and label the other users immoral and naughty. Then they get drunk, steal cars, crash them into body shops, and THEN blame it all on the police officers unlucky enough to save their pathetic lives. Self-righteous assholes are the elite of assholes. No other assholes even come close in sheer asshole abilities. These are SUPER ASSHOLES. For over 40 years, self-righteous pinko-hating All-American grade-A assholes were able to convince billions of people that MORE ATOMIC BOMBS would make the planet a safer place to live. They were able to use a term like "peace keeping missile" in press conferences and not have EVEN ONE JOURNALIST laugh out loud (which makes the journalists stupid assholes). Right now, a version of the self-righteous asshole threatens to overrun the world, the POLITICALLY CORRECT ASSHOLE. This type of asshole grows very agitated at the thought that some black people might in fact really be JUST NIGGERS. This upsets the politically correct asshole's sensibilities. The thought that a black man who was caught red-handed smoking crack and then gets elected mayor might be JUST A NIGGER who was elected by MORE NIGGERS makes them all itchy. However, when "Afro-Americans" burned half of Los Angeles down because some cops who BEAT A NIGGER were found innocent of BEATING A NIGGER, they did it because they have BLACK RAGE. People who break into stores, steal all the merchandise, and burn the stores down are victims. They have black rage from being oppressed. But if I have WHITE ANGER at the blacks for pulling a guy out of a truck and hitting him in the head with a brick, I am a RACIST ASSHOLE (a special hybrid of the self-righteous asshole and the ignorant asshole). I just think that black people who commit heinous acts on innocent truck drivers are not expressing black rage, they are JUST BEING NIGGERS. Nigger is just an apt term for AFRO-AMERICAN ASSHOLE. There is a special type of self-righteous asshole that deserves separate consideration, the BUREAUCRATIC ASSHOLE. This kind of asshole cares for nothing but THE RULES. The rules are often given to him by a pure self-righteous asshole (say, the president), so thus a bureaucratic asshole can do a lot of damage. But his power lies in the fact that HIS ASS IS COVERED. If shit goes wrong, he will blame his superior. He takes no moral responsibility, he was simply FOLLOWING ORDERS (the rules, man!). But, with proper guidance, this type of asshole can be a force for good. Now, I mentioned earlier that assholes can actually serve a useful purpose. In fact, in some cases, assholes are NECESSARY. When do we need an asshole? Well, it takes one to know one, which is why I am so qualified to write this essay. Yes, to be a truly expert ASSHOLE SPOTTER, you need to be quite an asshole yourself. You need to be willing to point a finger, and after pointing, sniff the finger. Does the finger smell like shit? If so, you've fingered an asshole. But only assholes have the sheer stupidity and pig-headed determination to sniff that finger. In fact, most of us stick it right up our noses. Also, assholes are useful in getting things done. You just have to point them in the right direction. Give a bureaucratic asshole a mission in life, and he'll be happy, and if the goals of the mission are noble, everyone else will be happy, too. Just stay out of his way, and be sure to steer him straight if he starts happily banging his head against a wall as this type of asshole is wont to do. Assholes are just high maintenance if you want to accomplish anything with them. Now, self-righteous assholes may be the most dangerous, but the ultimate asshole is the FUCKING ASSHOLE. A fucking asshole is someone who transcends ordinary assholeness, the forgivable asshole things we all do (like write essays like this, I hope!), and GOES BEYOND. These are the people who so assault you with just being an asshole, that you simply hate their guts. This makes them FUCKING ASSHOLES, or, if you are shy about that f-word, they are TOTAL ASSHOLES. If Chachi had burned down Arnold's and denied responsibility, he would have also been a FUCKING ASSHOLE (who do we know that destroyed a local business and refuses to take responsibility for it? Hmmmm...). Because although he burned down Arnold's, we forgave him because he did something increasingly rare in modern society, he TOOK RESPONSIBILITY. But if he had not taken responsibility, we would have loathed his entrails, thus making him a fucking asshole. Fucking assholes are dangerous too, but generally on a smaller scale than the self-righteous asshole. Usually ordinary people who are fucking assholes don't go far, they usually indulge in self-destructive behavior. People who are fucking assholes on a grand scale, like Hitler, Manson, or Hussein, become fucking assholes the same way they got famous, which is generally being smart enough to think of lots of ways to kill lots of people in particularly gruesome ways, while at the same time convincing lots of stupid assholes that not only is lots of killing a jolly good idea, but that they should be the ones to do it, not their illustrious leaders. But most fucking assholes aren't that smart. Fucking assholes are wife-beaters, child molesters, murderers, rapists, drug dealers, crooked local politicians, all the jerks we loathe and despise from all walks of life. I think the best litmus test to tell whether a criminal should be executed would be a test to see whether the crook is a fucking asshole or not. There is one last kind of asshole that needs to be discussed, the DRUNKEN ASSHOLE. I leave this one for last because this is a type of DRUG-INDUCED ASSHOLE. The assholes above all were either born that way or were taught, or more often, beaten into it by their parents. The drunken asshole has the distinction of being able to sober up and snap out of it. So, there is this magic liquid called alcohol that can turn people into any variety of asshole, and has the great side-effect of total absolution from any responsibility for their actions! Although recent legislation toughening the penalties for drunk driving has changed this a bit, there still is a great tendency to excuse drunken asshole behavior. If some jerk gets drunk and say, rides in the back of a pickup truck and takes a leak on the windshield of a following vehicle (I really witnessed this, I swear to whatever deity is dear to you), usually we shrug it off and say, "Oh, he was drunk". I had a friend once that made the stupid asshole mistake of leaving his car unlocked at some local watering hole (I think it may have been that dive the Palmer House in Herkimer. It was either that, or Boyle's Pit, also known as The Tenth Level Of Hell Complete With Vomit On The Floor And Some Drooling Guy That Really Wants To Show You His Penis). Anyway(s), one might expect the car to be stolen or something inside the car to be stolen, like the stereo. But no. Some drunken asshole (we had to assume the asshole was drunk, because we had some faith left that sober human beings would never commit the act I am about to describe) took a LARGE STEAMY DUMP in his backseat. He noticed the smell, and then noticed a large pile of human droppings on his backseat. This was definitely the work of a drunken asshole. Generally, drunken asshole actions are very humorous years down the line, but are profoundly NOT FUNNY when they happen. They only remain NOT FUNNY if someone is killed or permanently maimed. For example, my former room mate and I once got very, very drunk on Jack Daniels and he broke my glasses and I grabbed his hair and beat his head on the floor. It wasn't much fun at the time, but we'd probably get some chuckles out of it now (that is, if his hair isn't still falling out). I hope you both enjoyed and were enlightened by my treatise on the forms and shapes assholes can take. Try to spot one today (the author of this article would be a really good start in asshole-spotting, let me tell you). Now that you know all about assholes, you will be prepared to identify one. Once you've done this, tell about your close encounter of the asshole kind in this room. Here's my asshole story: The people at the Herkimer Great American are incompetent assholes, or they might even be greedy assholes. Every time I shop for my mother at Great American, she arms me with a big pile of coupons. Usually there is a bunch of store coupons, and there will be things on my list that are in-store specials. Now these assholes seem to have extreme difficulty keeping the fucking shelves stocked, even during off times, and it's usually the in-store specials and coupon items. Now, this is understandable because everyone grabs the sale stuff like crazy and it runs out. Except, I go to P&C and they have no problem keeping their shelves stocked. AND, Great American has this problem with non-sale items. Like hamburg and kool-aid. They NEVER have enough ground beef in that fucking place, and the only kool-aid they have is these stupid ass funky little kid flavors like "sharkleberry fin" and "dingleberry cocktail". This leads me to the conclusion that they're a bunch of fuckup incompetent assholes. OR, they could be greedy assholes. The cynic in me says that they just might be understocking the sale items ON PURPOSE to get me in the store to buy other shit at regular price. I think the term for this is "bait and switch" or something like that, and if it's not outright illegal, it's certainly not ethical. But this is only a paranoid suspicion. Now, I'm sure some of you have some REAL good asshole stories, I mean, you can't go a day without encountering one unless you lock yourself in your house, and don't watch TV, listen to the radio, call the boards, or answer the phone.

She slaved for hours and finally created a masterpiece. Salmon mousse. Just before her guests arrived, she caught her cat nibbling away at the dish on the dining room table. She had worked so hard that she couldn't throw the mousse away, so she smoothed it over and served it anyway. Well, the mousse was a hit. Everyone took seconds or thirds. Proudly she stood to bring the empty plate out to the kitchen and looked out the window. There, next to the house, lay her cat. Dead. She had to confess to her guests that she'd served mousse eaten by the cat and now the cat was dead. The entire family rushed to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. The housewife, who hadn't eaten any because she knew her cat had, lay in bed-- mourning the passing of her cat and fearing that the same fate could befall her guests. Then, the phone rang. It was her next door neighbor who said, "I'm sorry about your cat. I should have told you that I ran her over but I was just so ashamed and saw that you were eating dinner.... So I just put her on your lawn." ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ You all know the Darwin Awards - It's an annual honor given to the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way. Last year's winner was a man who was killed by a coke machine which toppled over on top of him as he was attempting to tip a soda out of it. And this year's nominee is: The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal embedded into the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The wreckage resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it was a car. The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. The lab finally figured out what it was and what had happened. I seems that a guy had somehow gotten hold of a JATO unit (Jet Assisted Take Off - actually a solid fuel rocket) that is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra "push" for taking off from short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. Then he attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO! The facts as best as could be determined are that the operator of the 1967 Impala hit JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles from the crash site. This was established by the prominent scorched and melted asphalt at that location. The JATO, if operating properly, would have reached maximum thrust within 5 seconds, causing the Chevy to reach speeds well in excess of 350 mph and continuing at full power for an additional 20-25 seconds. The driver, soon pilot, most likely would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners, basically causing him to become insignificant for the remainder of the event. However, the automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles (15-20) seconds before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes, blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface, then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles and impacting the cliff face at a height of 125 feet leaving a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock. Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable: however, small fragments of bone, teeth, and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel. Believe It Or Don't!! ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ This goes out to all of you BOFH fans...... BASTARD USER FROM HELL #1 I was a good computer programmer and a new college student. I was trying to find the BASIC compiler and could not. Sooo... I call the operator ( I did not know it was the BOFH.) Phone rings..."Hello" BOFH "Who is this?" Me. It's me I think" BOFH No joke turkey breath. I think. "Me Who?" Me. "Is this like a knock knock joke?" BOFH. I think "This guy is missing a few brain cells" [Bad assumption on my part]. "What can I do for you" BOFH. Boy is he talking nice, must be ok after all. I think. Um, I want to know if we have a particular software package....?" Me. "Which package is that?" BOFH "Uh, B-A-S-I-C it's called." Me. I hear >clickety, clickety< in the background Good, the turkey is checking for it. "Um no, we don't have that. We used to though." BOFH That funny I say to myself, the instructor said it was on the system. "Oh. Oh well, the other thing I wanted to know was, could the contents of my account be copied to tape so I have a permanent copy of them to save at home in case the worst happens.." "The worst?" BOFH "Well, like they get deleted or something..." Me. "DELETED! Oh, don't worry about that, we have backup!" "What was your username?" I give him my username. >clikety clickety click.< "But you haven't got any files in your account!" BOFH What no files! I had over 30, some big, this guy is wrong. "Yes I have, you must be looking in the wrong place!" Me. "Oh no, I made a mistake" he say. That right bozo breath I think. I mutter "typical operator" to myself (unfortunetly to loud). "I MEANT TO SAY: That username doesn't exist" "Huh? >wimper< It must be, I was only using it this morning!" "Ah well, that'll be the problem, there was a virus in our system this morning, the... uh... De Vinci Virus, wipes out users who are logged in when it goes off." BOFH "That can't be right, my girlfriend was logged in, and I'm in her account now!" "Which one was that?" I give him my girlfriends userid. Then my mind says bad move. The igno second factor. "Oh, yeah, her account was just after we discovered the virus." >clickety clikc< "..she only lost all her files" BOFH. "But..." Me. "But don't worry, we've got them all on tape" BOFH "Oh, thank goodness!!!" Me. "Paper tape. Have you got a magnifying glass and a pencil. SEE YOU IN THE MACHINE ROOM!!!! NYAHAHAHAHAHA!" He did what? KILL and KILL AGAIN! I had heard there was some one they called the BASTARD OPERATOR FROM HELL. But never believed it. Now the line had been drawn. I got mad and put a fake program on the computer from my roomies account. You know the kind that acts like a normal screen for the log in but after the user enters the userid and password it ends and the normal login appears. The teachers could not understand how I had such polished program and only used 80 percent of my computer time. Oh course every one else was running 150% of their allowed and hence got no higher than a "C" in the class. Hey survival of the fittest. The BASTARD USER FROM HELL is born. BASTARD USER FROM HELL #2 I come into the lab and signed in (using someone elses id) [funny, you offer to help a girl do her program and you can copy her user id and password from her typing, especially if they are slow. "What the?????" I get all these messages on her e-mail from alt.singles.with.severe.social.dysfuntions. That can't be right. I have been in her account before. She does not write or read this stuff. "Oh no....its him again." The BOFH has messed things up AGAIN. That means my e-mail is messed up too. Well... we will just have to fix that. Being the Bastard User From Hell means never being messed up for long. I spend the next two hours writing a very good program to go in and take all the print jobs from the faculty user ids and print them out in english, greek, latin, german, and japanese (that one was hard on the line printer). I do not mean a page at a time I mean a letter at a time. Then I assign the output to the computer operator printer. He will catch it after a while, but hey, it is not my userid. What do I care. I also send a letter to the head of the computer department saying how much of a jerk the operator is and that he should be fired. Hey it ain't my userid. Unfortunetly some of the professor want us to do stuff on the "SCHOOL" computer. With that guy for an operator, Yeah, Right! Then the computer goes down. RATS. Then it comes back up. I log in and I am missing some files. Sooo... Ring..Ring..Ring "Computer Room" Oh no, not the BOFH. If I have to deal with this guy again "I've lost my files" I whine.. make him think I am stupid. "You bet you have" Is this guy picking a fight or what? "What was your username?" he says. I give it to him...what choice do I have. All of a sudden my whole directory dissappears. What in the name of hades.....OHHHH NNNOOOO First rule is never give the BOFH your userid. Well, time to study operating systems. In the mean time I barricade the door to the computer room. As I am moving the first bench over someone says "What are you doing?" "I am getting even with the stupid computer operator!!" All of a sudden ten students are helping me. It was much easier when everyone helps. That evening I read about an epidemic of herpes and syphillis in the town. BASTARD USER FROM HELL #3 After reading up on operating systems I got in really guickly and learned how to up the priority for my job on the queue. Being the Bastard User From Hell means never having to wait for another users program to run. I did not try to get superuser privileges right away. That BOFH might check and find it. He is probable watching TV. Well, all my jobs are running just fine. Espically the one through the annomynous userid that is using the cypher cracking software on the academic records. It is so nice to be able to give yourself an A. The problem is the professors keep changing the password on me. Not for long. Some guy next to me complains the system is slow (not my stuff) and says he is going to call the sysop. Am I going to tell him it is a bad idea. NOOOOOOOOOOO. Let him catch hell not me. I listen just for kicks and grins. "Do you know why the system is slow?" he says Pause...."Oh" The BOFH must have come up with a good anser. Either that or we have an idiot here. "But my research results are due in tommorrow and all I need is one page of Laser Print." he says. He hangs up and tries again. Talk about stupid. If the stove is hot you do not put you hand on again just to see if it really burns. "Oh, I'm sorry, I've got the wrong number" Pause...I hear screeaming from the phone...yeah this guy is stupid. He drops the phone and sprints out the office. Quickly I run over to his computer. Got to get in fast before the account is canceled. Go into that file where I keep the transfer stuff. Enter the password. Got to be quick now. Yeah start program "retire". I have to transfer some money to a Swiss bank account using this guy userid. I get one transfer done. It took a couple of seconds. I had the file all ready to go. Now when the police wonder who has been looting the money from that slush fund at the college they will nail this guy. Then this guy account dissappears. Perfect, no trace. What, I am stealing from the college. Hey.. I pay my fees. I am just getting some back. NOW! Besides most police department are just now becoming computer literate. Besides I used my crappy poly sci professers id. He is the one who spouts off about political correctness. Lets see him do political correctness when his name is on as the creator of the progam. I don't want to take the fall. Hey, you can never start a retirement fund to soon you know. Being the Bastard User From Hell means always having a retirement account. Well back to the program that goes and monitors the sysops commands. Got to see how they work before you can counter man them. Yeah......done. Some guy next to me calls in to the BOFH. "I need more space." he says "No, on my account stupid!" Uh-OH. Here come the fire works. Hey this will be a good time to see if the new version of the command monitoring program works. Boy is this guy back pedalling fast... but not fast enough. "4Megs.....aaaaaaaaaagggghhhhHHHH" Lets see, there is e-mail from some user. Dumb cluck gave his personal id and password to his girl friend over e-mail. Aren't monitoring programs fun. Oh here is how he got rid of that guys memory. Lets see I will have to change this and add that other user id and give him say 0.5 MEG. What would happen if he is working on a big project at the time this command takes affect. El jerko in my English class is about to loose that essay he keep bragging about. OOOhhhhhhhhh CCCCRRRRAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!. Alright....that command worked. More memory for me to use. Being the Bastard User From Hell means never running out of RAM. BASTARD USER FROM HELL #4 It was thursday. I had to be in the lab. Not that I wanted to, but some professors tell us (the students) we HAVE to use the school computer. Something about funding, I guess. Some one has been trying to call the operator for about two hours. He has been swearing up a blue streak. Me, I just finish the stuff the professor wants (yes on my user id) the professor wants it that way. Once I am done with that I get into another account (it pays to read e-mail). Some people know nothing of comm security. The program I am working on now does the following. Goes and changes the users password. Then it greps the passward file for similar encrypted words. Then dumps the results to another file on a dummy account. Dummy account, Yeah, I had a talk with the secratary of one of the departments. She says that she would do anything to get even with the BOFH. So I got into her computer remotely and found the purity test answers. Now she will and does do everything I need, qilling or not. (Interesting answers, she is so conservative, who would have guessed that she preferred.......) When you are the Bastard User From Hell you don't do thing. You get others to do it for you. Back to the program I am running. See what you get for reading magazines. I got a list of the 100 most popular passwords. Well, I just had to try it out. The guy how has been trying for two hours finally gets in. Then he goes over and does something on the terminal. AAAUUUUURRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!. The BOFH must have told him to do use rm for something else. More disk space for me. Some guy wants a printout. The BOFH comes back with one of the crappiest printouts I have seen. Man, what did he do to that one? Alright, the program I put in has got me at least 32 more accounts. There is going to be no problem of computer time now. And the program is only half through. That guy is still talking to the BOFH. He gives him his disketts...SUCKER are you done for now. Later I see him walking out with the disketts over his head. I do not even want to know. The program ends. I have 53 new user id and password I can use. Great.. that consulting work I am doing on the side will get done and I won't have to buy a new computer. Being the Bastard User From Hell means never running out of accessible userids. BASTARD USER FROM HELL #5 Its friday. The BOFH has not been in all morning. How do I know...well the computer is running fine for one thing. The other is that I paid a freshmen to watch the door while he does his homework. When the BOFH comes in he will let me know. There is someone here who has been trying to get ahold of him all morning. Me....I am getting into the accademic records and updating my GPA to a 4.0. Than cyrpto program I was running worked just fine. And I did not even have to goto class (except the first day) Dam, am I good or am I good. Being the Bastard User From Hell means always getting good grades. The freahmen come in. The BOFH is in to create havoac. What? Another guy is on the phone and he is yelling at the BOFH. This should be fun. Me..I am finishing up that program for the consulting job I have. One has to make a living. The job allows me access to the companies computer remotely. But if I do it part time on the school computer I do not have to pay the modem bill. Let me tell you about purchase requests and userid. You can buy all sorts of stuff when your company NEEDS it. Why just the other day they needed a new 2GB hard drive. Lifes rough. See it like if you are good you use someone's userid on the computer to do all you nasty work. Then when the brown stuff hit the horizontal wind pusher you look really good because your userid just shows pure work like a good little corporate slave. Oh... the guy tell the BOFH his user id. This should be good. AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhh. Guess he lost his files. It was not even me. Gee I feel cheated. Tin fool, magnets, pillow cases. I don't even want to guess. Hey.. I found that guys account. Two files. Well, lets just run that tracking program for the password file. Yeah there it is. Now just run that puppy through the unencryption program....... presto a password. When your hot, your hot. Being the BASTARD USER FROM HELL means always get more computer time, free. See what happens when you work for a firm that does encryption stuff. You find out how they do that kind of thing. Then you come back to the computer and figure out what the algorithm is that the school computer uses and you are in like flint. It is nice to have power at your fingertips. BASTARD USER FROM HELL #6 It lunch hour and the BOFH is not in. I saw him leave just after the janitor went in to the sysop room. The must confer. That janitor likes to bust in on people in the restrooms. So.. what do I do. I grep all the e-mail readers for erotic word. What? Has the Bastard User From Hell gone in for porn. NNNOOO. After a quick scan, I see who is writing to who. There are userids I recognize. The others I run through the userid cross check file for names. This will make good blackmail material for a few favors when it comes time to get things done. Oh..... there is one from a junior who stood me up on a date. Well.....she is doing what with who. Make a copy and send to Western Union for a express delivery to her parents. Being the BASTARD USER FROM HELL means getting back for the date who stood you up. I go in and reset everyone elses priority to super slow. The BOFH had it set to slow already. He should not notice the difference. Mine is set to fast. I am having problem saving that 47MEG graphics program with animation. Lets see, who is not here. Oh... here is that TA's file from the Econ class. Econ is a mandatory taker. The TA is a jerk and does not let up. Well, lets just get into his account. My! Is this his thesis for the bachaloer committe? Well we will just do a "mv *.* /bin/bitbucket" Good, that frees up 7MEG of space. No problem Being the BASTARD USER FROM HELL means never wanting for disk space. Oh No, the BOFH is back. Someone phones in..lets see what he does. Something about saving documents. Jeeze she is not crying the BOFH must be having a mental lapse. WHAT????!!!!!. All the files on this disk dissappeared. Why that little no good for nothing BOFH. I had two important files (crypto craker and list of userid w/passwords) on that disk. Well, tranfer to another userid (you can never have enough) and run that undelete program. Lets hope he isn't watching the screen. Bingo. Now if I can just reserve the rest of this disk. Rats, only 478 MEG avalible. Darn, I wanted 500. Oh well can't be to greedy now. Some guy calls in and ends up walking away sobbing. After a productive day I leave. On the way home (to my home, mortgage all paid, gee isn't being a BUFH so much fun) I see an ambulance and and a bunch of guys in white coats. Someone says something about some lady screaming she will get the BOFH for what he did to her computer and files. Gald to see I am not the only one working on that. I get in and login on the computer at home using my rentee password and his CompuServe id. Route it through a jerks userid at school. Going to be a long weekend with him away. Best part is someone else will get the blame. Being the BASTARD USER FROM HELL means never paying for access time. BATARD USER FROM HELL #7 I end up in one of the required class. Psych. Yeah, let me near a computer and I'll psych you out all right. And the teacher. She is one of those b***** (excuse me, female dog) who blames all of the world's ill on the male gender. Jesss give me a break. If it was not for some male she would not even be here. Ever take a Bio class lady! The female has been going on and on about how things are screwed up. Yeah, I know I am sitting in this class just thinking of how to really screw things up... FOR HER. Then she mentions computers always fail...Bingo, here is my chance. "Well, you know that the communication lines that are bounced of the stratosphere are being interupted by falling satellite parts and this causes comupter to miss the synching cycle." I say. When you walk the walk and talk the talk..... "Huh" she says. "Well, yeah, with the synch cycle out the computer does not know what you are trying to tell it so it makes something up and that is why the satellites are falling." If you can not blind um with your brilliance, baffel um with the bullcrap. Her... BB in a Boxcar when it comes to technical stuff. Got her going for five minutes before she got back on men designed satellites and that is why they fall out of the sky etc.etc.etc. Ppplleeaassseeee!!!!!. After class I go over to the computer center and tap into the reserve userid file. Guess whos id is on the system. Yeah..It PAY BACK TIME. Being the Bastard User From Hell means always out psyching the your psych instructor. I'll just make up some stuff and report it. Whats this. Alt.sex.beastality...alt.sex.pedephilla EUREKA.....PAYDIRT. And I did not have to make it up. I call my friend at the newspaper (help him in a class once). Got to know the computer system at the newspaper. Comes in handy when you want to spread some dirt around. LIKE NOW. "Hey Tom...John" "Oh hi.. thanks for the help on the last exam." "No problem...hey you want a story about a teacher that the state is paying good money to run a sex bulliten board?" I say. "Is it a big one?" he asks "You would not believe how big!" I say. I send him a file with a bunch of stuff (userid, password, other crap). I also get in and download the user names from four other bulletin boards about the same stuff I ran across. Never know when info comes in handy. He thanks me and says "Do not eat at the cafeteria at school. Some one keeps sending organ transplate stuff there." I hand up and say darn that was a good one. I should have thought of that. I wonder who... no I don't. I go back home and get ready for a job interview. What you say! The Bastard User From Hell is giving in to the corporate world. Guess again. It is at a bank that has a large network of ATM machines. Only as long as it takes to figure out how to crack the system and set my self up with several million and computer access for the rest of my life. Being the Bastard User From Hell means never running out of cash. On the way out I hear a couple people saying how this nice man taught them how the "rm" command is the remark command. I wonder who that could be.

Called a breakthrough for small restaurants and snack bars, Cuisine Chairman Mark Meigs confidently predicted sales of thousands of copies. Monday, 4 PM -- New York -- Cuisine International shares closed sharply higher on announcement of new CUISINENET product. Tuesday, 9 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates, III announced that Microsoft Food for Windows would soon enter beta testing. Gates described the product as the first of a projected family of products to include Food for Windows, designed for small commercial dining establishments; Personal Food for Windows, designed for home kitchens; Portable Food for Windows, designed for lunchboxes; and, of course, at high end, Food for Windows NC (Nouvelle Cuisine) designed for large institutional dining rooms. Asked by a reporter about CUISINENET, Gates said that he had never heard of the product, but was not surprised by it because the software business is highly competitive, and Microsoft has to compete on the merits with many strong competitors, as the FTC had recently concluded. Tuesday, 3 PM -- Chicago, Illinois -- An angry Mark Meigs showed reporters a copy of the nondisclosure agreement signed by Bill Gates, under which Cuisine International had informed Microsoft a year earlier about plans CUISINENET. Meigs said that in hindsight, he should never have signed agreement, as the only thing he learned from Microsoft was that Gates was considering changes to Windows. Wednesday, 9 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced that Microsoft would soon publish specifications for the Windows Open Kitchen Architecture (WOKA), a series of design specifications to permit manufacturers of toasters, ranges, and other kitchen appliances to integrate their products into the forthcoming Microsoft Food for Windows line. Asked about reports of a nondisclosure agreement with Cuisine International for a similar product, Gates said that the other product is really at most a niche product, and would probably have less functionality than the food-related features that Microsoft would be building into the new Unsaturated FAT File System which would be part of DOS 7.0. Gates said that he doubted there would be much interest in a dead-end solution that would not be able to keep up to date with advances in WOKA. Gates added that over 11,000 manufacturers of kitchen appliances were already having serious discussions with Microsoft about WOKA, and that he expected almost all important eaters of food to standardize on the WOKA environment. Wednesday, 10 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced that he would be giving the keynote speech at the American Bakers annual convention on "Nutrition at Your Fingertips." Gates played down speculation that he would use the Bakers convention to introduce Microsoft Food for Windows, saying only that alpha testing was proceeding ahead on schedule, and the product would be shipped when it was ready. Wednesday, 11 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Corporation announced that its Chairman, William H. Gates, III, had made a donation of over $1 million of personal funds to the Cordon Bleu to begin an endowment fund for the Bill Gates Professorship of Advanced Cookery. The famous French cooking school confirmed that it had agreed to be a beta site for the much discussed Food for Windows application suite. Thursday, 9 AM -- New York -- PCWeek Magazine reported in a copyrighted story that it had obtained a copy of correspondence from Microsoft to Cuisine International, demanding that the small developer of kitchen software cease using the Cuisine name, as it infringes on the trademark Microsoft Food for Windows NC. Microsoft added that Chairman Mark Meigs would also have to change his own name as Mark infringed a copyright on Windows Edit menu, Meigs infringed the trademark on Meigs Field in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Chairman infringed the trademark on Bill Gates's title which he had acquired with personal funds from Mao's estate. Also, Microsoft advised that while the company did not actually have to move out of Chicago, use of the city name on press releases infringed on a trademark on Windows 4.0 Thursday, 4 PM -- New York -- Cuisine International stock closed at 0. Friday, 9 AM -- ? -- An anonymous spokesman for an unnamed Midwestern software developer announced the discontinuation of operations. Undescribed legal problems were cited as the reason. Others speculated that a failure to appreciate the competitive nature of the software business may have led to the company's sudden collapse. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 40 THINGS I LEARNED FROM ID4 That I Never Knew Before By Dean Kanipe Area 51 Research Center While viewing the film Independence Day, it became apparent that I was remarkably uninformed about several things related to Area 51, aliens, military operations, and America in general. Below is a quick list of a few important things I learned from the film that I never knew before, and a few lessons that were inferred from the plot. I wish to thank the creators of ID4 for making these facts much clearer to me. 1. Aliens like to blow up significant land marks first. Apparently the best way to destroy a city is to position your "Death Ray" over the most recognizable building. 2. All pro-UFO people are morons who dance atop the building directly under the Death Ray. 3. If alien "Destroyers" come to your city to blast it into oblivion, leave BEFORE they fire the Death Ray. 4. If alien "Destroyers" come to your city to blast it into oblivion and you are caught in traffic at the last minute, make sure that you are travelling with a dog and a small child. The Law of Averages says you'll survive the Death Ray. 5. If alien "Destroyers" come to your city to blast it into oblivion and you are caught in traffic at the last minute, make sure that you are NOT a raspy-voiced homosexual cable TV executive. The Law of Averages says you'll get waxed by the Death Ray. 6. Stripping is a lucrative profession that allows one to "Pay the bills," "take care of one's boy," and own a nice house in a middle class subdivision. 7. Strippers got moxie. When the going gets tough, they can drive California Highway Department utility vehicles, collect refugees and use their extensive survival skills to provide food and comfort to survivors. 8. NASA sends out rejection letters, just like Harvard. 9. Area 51 is an "Assault Base". 10. A fleet of RVs can travel across the Nevada Test Site in line-abreast formation without the need of roads, thanks to the immense expanses of Salt Flats and the lack of impeding mountains. 11. Area 51 has a big chain-link fence around it, and the guards at the gate wear black combat fatigues with white metal helmets in 120 degree heat. 12. Any bonehead with an RV can get to Area 51 by driving across the Salt Flat to the gate and flashing a captured alien to the guard. 13. Standard operating procedure for the Air Force is to cluster all vehicles, aircraft, and ground personnel on a 200 meter section of tarmac in the middle of an Alien Invasion. 14. The F-18 is the sole fighter in use by all branches of the service, including Marines and Air Force. 15. From the assault scenes on the Alien "Destroyers', it appears that the F-18 must have had a 1000 unit production run. 16. Both F-18s and B-2s must close to within 10 km of a target 20 km across before engaging with both air-to-air missiles and aerial launched nuclear cruise missiles. 17. People too drunk to walk can still fly crop dusters and F-18s. 18. Any bonehead with rudimentary aviation experience can be taught to pilot an F-18 in 5 hours. 19. Any bonehead with F-18 flight experience can learn to pilot an Alien fighter in 5 minutes. 20. Aliens with anatomy that includes tentacles and clawed feet use flight yokes just like ours. 21. Aliens are wimps, even the ones in "Bio-Mechanical" armor. They have glass jaws and can be taken out with a punch by Will Smith. (He has had a lot of practice on photographers, though.) 22. Aliens are stupid. When one of their fighters approaches the carrier, they don't bother to communicate with the pilot. 23. Aliens are even more stupid. They pursue their targets into canyons walls and closing blast doors. 24. Aliens are unbelievably stupid. While unarmed and unarmored, they do things to piss off people with hand guns. 25. Aliens are just too stupid for words to express. An alien air traffic controller can look at a fighter that has been human-modified for 20 minutes and is only 50 feet away and not notice the welded-on missile rack until the missile is fired through his work station. 26. Aliens are remarkably inarticulate. All they can say is, "Release me," "No peace," and "Die!" 27. If you're President and your administration is faltering, an Alien Invasion might be a good way to boost your ratings in the polls. 28. If you're President and your administration is faltering, manage to work into every other sentence the fact that you "flew in the Persian Gulf." No need to specify what branch of service. 29. If you're President and your administration is faltering and an Alien Invasion occurs, relocate the V.P., the Cabinet, and the Joint Chiefs to one centralized location so that the Aliens can take them all out with one shot. You can always blame the problems of the past on them after victory is achieved. 30. The President's Press secretary keeps her cell phone listed in the phone book "in case of emergencies." 31. If your father abandons his Jewish beliefs after the death of your mother, always carry around a Torah and a Yarmulke. Aliens might attack and offer him a chance to renew his faith. 32. If aliens abduct you and effectively destroy your life by making you the laughing stock of the community, never fear. When their "Destroyers" come, you will be vindicated to those who mocked your tale. 33. If aliens abduct you and do unspeakable things to you, you can have revenge upon them by flying an F-18 into their Death Ray. 34. If aliens abduct you and do unspeakable things to you and you have revenge upon them by flying an F-18 into their Death Ray, you will obtain redemption and your children will be proud of you. 35. The best way to win back a former wife is to be very annoying, look perpetually vexed, and keep wearing your wedding ring for 4 years after the divorce. 36. In 10 hours, one man with a Macintosh Laptop can code a virus in C++ that will take down a completely alien computer system. 37. Even though the Mac isn't compatible with most other Earthly operating systems, it can interface with an alien computer. 38. Alien network security is nonexistent. 39. Rather than attacking a planet when they first encounter it (i.e., 1940s), aliens wait until the planet has developed just enough technology to possibly defend itself. 40. Scientists at Area 51 are a bit touched in the head, and "Don't get out much."

Bedtime came and the bride retired, but the groom stood by the window gazing at the moon and stars. "Dear," the bride called, "why don't you come to bed?" Answered the Aggie, "Mother told me that tonight would be the most wonderful night of my life, and I'm not going to miss a minute of it." --------------------------------------------------------------- An Aggie was standing in the entrance of the Statler-Hilton Hotel lobby without a stitch of clothes on, when the policeman grabbed his arm and said, "Let's get something to cover you and go to the station." "Wait, officer, I'm an Aggie, and..." "I don't care if you are an Aggie, you can't stand here naked," the policeman interrupted. "But let me explain," pleaded the Aggie. "I'm waiting for my girl friend. We were up in the room and she said, 'let's get undressed and go to town.' I guess I beat her down." -------------------------------------------------------------------- On a lonely highway, an Aggie hitched a ride with a fellow driving a brand new Mustang. The driver introduced himself. "I'm a graduate of A&M," he told his passenger. "This is a mighty fine car. You must have done well since you finished school," commented the student. "No, I guess I've just been lucky," the grad replied. "A couple of weeks ago a gal driving this car picked me up. We drove to a secluded country lane and parked. Then she took off her clothes and told me she'd give me anything I wanted, so I took her car." "Now, that was mighty smart of you," the student said. "Her clothes wouldn't have fit you." ----------------------------------------------------------------- It looked like the car was stranded on a lonely road, so the farmer pulled up alongside and asked, "What's the matter? Out of gas?" "No," came the answer from the Aggie inside. "Engine trouble?" "No." Tire down?" "No, didn't have to." ----------------------------------------------------- The medical school professor sent his students out to each purchase one pound of male brain matter for study. A group who arrived at the local medical supply house was given the prices: Ph.D. Brains .................. $ 37.50/lb. Phi Beta Kappa Brains .................. $ 32.50/lb. Straight A Brains .................. $ 25.00/lb. Aggie Brains .................. $150.00/lb. One young student questioned the price of Aggie brains noting, "I never thought they were that valuable." The proprietor asked, "Have you ever thought how many Aggies it takes to make a pound of brains?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- The definition of gross ignorance is quickly given as 144 Aggies. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Did you hear about the Aggie who thinks the English Channel is the TV station that shows British movies? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know why it takes four Aggies to pull off a kidnapping? One to carry the victim and three to write the ransom note. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A woman sitting across the aisle from an Aggie on a Greyhound bus was nursing a big, healthy baby. "Lady," he asked, "How come your baby is so fat and healthy." "I don't know," she replied, "All I feed him is milk and orange juice." The Aggie thought a minute and asked, "Well, which one is orange juice?" ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ LIST OF AMERICAN SLOGAN TRANSLATIONS INTO FOREIGN LANGUAGES Here is a look at how shrewd American business people translate their slogans into foreign languages: 1. When Braniff translated a slogan touting its upholstery, "Fly in Leather," it came out in Spanish as "Fly Naked." 2. Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer From Diarrhea." 3. Chicken magnate Frank Perdue's line, "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," sounds much more interesting in Spanish: "It takes a sexually stimulated man to make a chicken affectionate." 4. When Vicks first introduce its cough drops on the German market, they were chagrined to learn that the German pronunciation of "v" is f - which in German is the guttural equivalent of "sexual penetration." 5. Not to be outdone, Puffs tissues tried later to introduce its product, only to learn that "Puff" in German is a colloquial term for a whorehouse. 6. The Chevy Nova never sold well in Spanish speaking countries. "No Va" means "It Does Not Go" in Spanish. 7. When Pepsi started marketing its products in China a few years back, they translated their slogan, "Pepsi Brings You Back to Life" pretty literally. The slogan in Chinese really meant, "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave." 8. Then when Coca-Cola first shipped to China, they named the product something that when pronounced sounded like "Coca-Cola." The only problem was that the characters used meant "Bite The Wax Tadpole." They later changed to a set of characters that mean "Happiness In The Mouth." 9. A hair products company, Clairol, introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that mist is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the manure stick. 10. When Gerber first started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as here in the USA - with the cute baby on the label. Later they found out that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what actually is inside the container since most people cannot read.

Pretending it is really 12 hours later than it is. (i.e. Going to classes, eating lunch, waiting for the soaps to come on...) 31. Just watching that flashing 12:00 on your VCR because you looked at your other clocks already, and are simply looking for a second opinion. 32. Rearranging your room all night long, attempting to make the WORST setup possible, just to show that you would do such a thing. 33. Learn how to communicate better with the animal kingdom. 34.

This is for complicating your parent's life nine months ago and ruining their vacation . At first you're impressed because you're being slapped by a doctor. But you soon realize the doctor is not your Dad. Your Dad's the schmuck giving out cigars in the other room. The same cheap cigars he smoked around your mother during her pregnancy. That's my story. Actually, my mother also drank a fifth of Stoli and smoked a pack of Camels every day of her pregnancy with me. She even took a hit or two of pot every once in awhile and it never affected me at all. Except now I'm just very, very cool. When you think of the father of the United States, you think of George Washington. How often have you heard the term, "George Washington slept here." He slept in many places as he led his troops to victory. He's known as the "Father of the United States" because he met a lot of women along the way. You put it together. Yes he chopped down the cherry tree, but the cherry tree was a metaphor for something else. I'm not going to explain it any more than that. If you don't get it, move on. What is a Dad? Better question is, "Who is your Dad?" Your Dad is man in the other room in his underwear with a beer watching football. He's the man who has done some of his best parenting between commercials. He's the man who gives you an allowance, teaching you responsibility. My father started me off at a dollar a week allowance. Back then that was a lot of money. But soon it wasn't enough because I was getting older and starting to take my friends out. I was ten. So I gathered my courage and asked him for more money. He said, "Dino, I'm very proud of you. Essentially, you are asking for a raise. Let me talk about it with your mother and I'll get back to you in a week." He came back a week later, sat me down and said, "Your Mother and I have been talking about your raise and... we're going to have to let you go."That was my father. You soon realize that he hates football more than he hates his life, but it's three precious hours that he can tell your Mother to shut up because the game is on. Come on, who cares if the Washington Whatevers are down by ten over the Seattle Somethings? It only really matters to the men in the game. And they're only playing to get away from their wives. Treat your father well. He's the only one you have. Which you realize is a blessing, when he's beating the living hell out of you for breaking the car window. Imagine three or four of them whipping you, tag teaming until you were dead. Speaking of getting the belt, certain times are better than others for breaking car windows. _NEVER_ do it on the weekends; that's when he's fresh. No, you want to break a window Wednesday through Friday. It's the end of the week and he's spent from work. My Dad was a very strong disciplinarian. When I acted up, he would hit me...with the car. In this culture boys don't have a rite of passage. The closest we have is finding your father's box of pornography in the garage. Sure the hair styles are dated, but it isn't the hair we care about In a word, you should love and respect your father because he offers you so much. He's the one who throws your first baseball at you. Of course your running away at the time.

COYOTE, : Plaintiff : : v. : CIVIL ACTION NO. B19294 : ACME COMPANY, : Defendant : ________________________________: OPENING STATEMENT OF ARTHUR B. FUDDLE, ESQUIRE, COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT By Mr. Fuddle: Ladies and Gentleman of the jury: the opening statement you have just heard from Mr. Schoff on behalf of the plaintiff, Wile E. Coyote, paints an incomplete picture of what occurred on the occasions when Mr. Coyote claims he was injured by ACME products. The evidence will clearly show that my client, ACME Products Corp., a Division of Dangerously Innovative Products and Patents Incorporated (or "DIPPI") is not at fault in this matter, and that any injuries sustained by the plaintiff were clearly caused by his own negligence, assumption of the risk and/or misuse of the products. Now, we have all seen the footage on television of the plaintiff withstanding various injuries which appear to be caused by ACME's products. You have seen over and over the tape of a hapless coyote being bludgeoned by a boulder as he is helplessly trapped by his ACME Spring Loaded Shoes. We have all seen the photographs taken at Warner Memorial Hospital of Mr. Coyote in a very small incubator, on life support, as his doctors attempt to straighten out the accordion-like folds from his body. We have all seen the gruesome images of the operation in which Dr. Tazmanian D. Devil whirls like a dervish, obscuring his features and creating a starry, "dust cloud" effect, while numerous limbs holding various surgical instruments swiftly repair the nerve damage to Mr. Coyote's extremities. It is normal for any human being to feel pity, horror, and even anger at such images. I want you to put those images aside for the moment, because they paint an incomplete picture. What the media has not disclosed to you, and what you will see in this courtroom, are various attempts at murder committed by the plaintiff - attempts which, fortunately, failed - while using my client's products. As the plaintiff readily admits, he is a predator, and his sole function in life is to track down and kill an innocent, highway traversing ornithoid. You see, ladies and gentleman, while the plaintiff is a natural predator, he is not a very good one. His own skills were inadequate to complete the task at hand, so he chose to seek the aid of various devices to effectuate his diabolical schemes. He looked in a catalogue, saw my client's products, and ordered them in the hope that they would assist him in killing his prey. But ladies and gentleman, ACME's products are not meant to cause intentional harm to anyone. The plaintiff has taken what were designed as amusements, toys for the young and feebleminded, and has twisted their use to his own purposes. But I digress. Let us examine the plaintiff's claims and how the evidence clearly refutes the proposition that ACME is responsible for any harm sustained by the plaintiff. Mr. Coyote states that on December 13 he received an ACME Rocked Sled, that he attempted to use said rocket sled to pursue his prey, and that, upon igniting the sled, it accelerated with "sudden and precipitate force as to stretch Mr. Coyote's forelimbs to a length of fifty feet." There are several reasons why ACME cannot be held responsible for any injuries caused by this incident. First, the warning label attached conspicuously to the inside of the left front tire of the sled clearly stated, and I quote: "WARNING: IGNITION OF THIS DEVICE AT FULL THROTTLE MAY CAUSE SUDDEN AND PRECIPITATE FORCE AS TO STRETCH USER'S FORELIMBS TO A LENGTH OF UP TO SIXTY FEET, OR MAY CAUSE DEATH." That the plaintiff suffered so little as a result of his carelessness can be attributed only to Providence. Second, Arizona law is clear on this point: a plaintiff who is found to be violating any law whose purpose is safety at the time of his injury is contributorily negligent *per se*. There is ample evidence that Mr. Coyote was violating both the laws of gravity and inertia at the time of this incident, and thus he is responsible for his own woes. I could list many more examples of Mr. Coyote's negligent conduct in connection with his use of ACME's products, but you will hear all about them as the trial goes on. You will also hear the following evidence: (1) You will hear the plaintiff himself testify that, prior to the injuries complained of in this accident, he has suffered numerous injuries. As an example, on one occasion prior to the use of any ACME product, the plaintiff cornered his prey on the edge of a rather thin precipice. Taking an ordinary saw, the plaintiff began cutting away so that the edge of the cliff, with his prey on it, would drop some 1500 feet to a jagged, rocky destruction. Instead, by some inexplicable twist of fate the edge of the cliff remained standing while the whole mountain, on which the plaintiff was standing, plummeted to the bottom of the ravine, causing numerous injuries which affect the plaintiff to this day. On another occasion, Mr. Coyote was chasing his prey and followed it off of the edge of a cliff onto thin air, not realizing until too late that his prey, a bird, could remain in the air almost indefinitely while he, a canine, could not. As a result, he fell yet again, suffering even further severe and debilitating injuries which predate the injuries complained of in this action. (2) You will also hear the testimony of Mr. Road Runner, the plaintiff's prey and the true victim in this tragedy. Mr. Runner has been forced to live a nomadic lifestyle as a result of Mr. Coyote's unwanted attention, preventing him from forming any type of long term relationships. Numerous restraining orders had no effect. Mr. Runner has also suffered numerous psychological problems as a result of Mr. Coyote's actions, including but not limited to an inability to trust anyone who provides him with bird seed, a necessary ingredient in his daily nutritional schedule. (3) You will also hear from a witness to many of the incidents alleged in plaintiff's complaint, a colorful local prospector with red hair and moustache who has been known to proclaim: "No rootin' tootin' coyote can outsmart Yosemite Sam on any day of the week!" Don't be fooled by his gruff manner and twin pearl-handled six-shooters, he's a pussycat. (4) Customer service records of defendant ACME, which we were forced to produce in this matter, clearly show that none of the complaints registered by ACME's customers nation-wide have ever resulted in criminal convictions of the officers of the corporation. (5) Finally, videotape evidence will demonstrate that plaintiff faked many of his injuries, setting out to create performances especially for a jury such as yourself. On numerous occasions he would "mug" for the camera, as if he was well aware beforehand that he was being taped. For instance, during the "Rocked Sled" incident, as his forelimbs were stretched out ahead of him and his body remained behind, he looked straight into the camera with a forlorn, tired expression, as if to say: "look at how terrible my situation is, can you guess what's going to happen to me now." This jury is too smart to fall for such petty theatrics. In summary, ladies and gentlemen, it will be clear to you from the evidence that ACME's products, if used properly, will cause only minimal injuries to a user and his loved ones. The plaintiff in this case has brought his troubles upon himself by adopting his carnivorous lifestyle. As others have so adequately uttered: "Live by the Super Slick Jet Propulsion Automated Explosive Metal-Shearing Heat-Seeking Laser-Guided Razor-Edged Boomerang, die by the Super Slick, etc." I ask you, on behalf of my client, to dismiss the plaintiff's claims against it.

When the year was over, their final tests papers, reports and homework assignments and orals were littered with pearls of computer wisdom and insight. A few of them follow... "Just yesterday when I read my libury book I knew real good what computers axaly do for us, but today it's a different coloured horse story." "What a 'bit' is has a very short memory on my end." "If you like to fool around with figures alot then become a design engineer. My Uncle Henry is one, and he fools around alot with figures." "They are producing more and more people to work on computers anally." "A lady computer operator and a man computer operater are the same, only just the opposite in the you know where places." "The very first modern computer was built in the dark ages of 1930, in either the A.D. or V.D. times of history." Question : How long have computers been in existence? Answer : "Since the begining of time and maybe even longer than this." "In the pre-me times of history one day a guy decided to make a machine that could do stuff faster. He thought it was high time for action, so here's what he did. He put alot of holes in it and lots of buttons and stuff, and when you pressed the buttons zoom-voom-boom you got your answer and then everyone yelled with their deep throats woopee, yippee and maybe even sock-it-to-me. "Girl computer workers have to make real certain that all the holes are in the right spots, because if not then how will the computerman get in them." "Take a good long look at a computer. Does it have input, output, a bit of binary? No, you say to all these questions? Then you are not taking a good long look at a computer." (Extracts from an article by Eve R. Wirth) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ LET I FOR YOU SOMETHING BE TELLING ================================== A lot of sections recently received Thermo-Pots as a result of the distribution of Gold Award money.

She pulled Chelsey's file and found that she must first notify her parents before any medication is given to her. Hearing this, Chelsey told the nurse "My mom's kind of busy right now, could you call my Dad?" 5. It snowed in Washington D.C. A fresh covering of snow was everywhere including at the white house. President Clinton looked outside his window at the beauty of it all when he stopped short to look on the ground. Someone had pissed in the snow melting it. The melted snow spelled out the message "Clinton Sucks!" Well, the new president was to have none of this, he summoned some scientists to determine who did this awful thing. So the scientists got busy right away on it and came back with a report a week later "Mr. President, we have solved that incident with the words in the snow." "Excellent!" "I have good news and bad news however.... The good news is that we ran a urinalysis, separated the DNA in the pee and found it matches perfectly - the perpetrator is Bob Dole." "And the bad news?" "Well we ran another test, the handwriting in the snow is definitely Hillary's" 6. WILLIE'S ODE Zoe then Kimba another letdown, why all these bozos including Ron Brown? Keep armed services strong was a campaign intent, and I'll strengthen morale with the sexually bent. The deficit problem needs cuts by sharp axes, but it's politically tough so I'll ask for more taxes. Taxes on gasoline (take the bus or the train) and a national sales tax on all value gain. Hillary will help us on medical costs, with a map to the West Wing she'll never get lost. By the time I get done they'll all have had a lickin' and it'll seem just like Little Rock with my Tyson fried chicken. More taxes and pandering will be my legacy, I conned them in Arkansas and now in Washington D.C. 7. Slick Willy's Queen Berets (sung to the tune of The Green Berets) Falling fairies from the skies; I broke a nail, oh I could cry; Don't you like how my tushy sways; We are the fags of the Queen Berets. Slick Willy's words upon my ears; "You guys have rights, be proud you queers;" I once was scared, now I'm OK; Cause I'm a fag in the Queen Berets. Put silver earclips on our nuts; We love the pain, now spank our butts, The way you walk is awfully cute; I sure would love to pack your chute. This Army stuff is really slick; Free meals and clothes and lots of dick; When I retire, I'll still get paid; So thank you Bill, from the Queen Berets. 8. It is said that Bill Clinton is considering changing the Democratic Party emblem from a donkey to a condom, because it stands for inflation, protects a bunch of pricks, halts production, and gives a false sense of security while being screwed. 9.

BILL CLINTON STATUE COMMITTEE 1040 Bufoo Street Little Rock, AR 72205 Dear Friend, We have the distinguished honour of being on the committee for raising five million dollars for placing a statue of Bill Clinton in the Hall of Fame in Washington D.C. This committee was in a quandary as to where to place the statue. It was not wise to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, nor beside Senator Joe McCarthy, who never told the truth, since Bill Clinton could never tell the difference. We finally decided to place it beside the statue of Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of all. He left not knowing where he was going, did not know where he was, returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on borrowed money. Over 5,000 years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land!" Nearly 5,000 years later, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this IS the Promised Land!" Now, Bill Clinton is going to steal your shovels, kick your asses, raise the price of Camels, and mortgage the Promised Land. If you are one of the fortunate few who has anything left after taxes, we expect a generous contribution to this worthwhile project. Fraternally, The Bill Clinton Statue Committee 19. Q: How do you break a Bill Clinton supporter's finger? A: Punch him in the nose. 20. Q: How can you tell when Bill Clinton is lying? A: Only a Bill Clinton supporter is too dumb to know the answer to this one. 21. Q: What's the difference between a porcupine and Bill Clinton's campaign limo? A: A porcupine has pricks on the outside. 22. A man was walking along when he spotted a small boy busily constructing something. He approached the boy and was shocked to see him playing with cow manure! For lack of anything better to say, he asked, "Little boy, what ARE you doing?" The boy replied, "I am making George Bush, Mister." Now thoroughly taken aback, the man asked, "Why are you making George Bush? Why not make, er, Bill Clinton?" The boy answered, "Oh no Mister, I can't make Bill Clinton." "But why not?" asked the man. The boy replied "Well, Mister, there isn't enough bullshit here to make Bill Clinton."

Morton, Jr. Scrotum Self-Repair One morning I was called to the emergency room by the head ER nurse. She directed me to a patient who had refused to describe his problem other than to say that he "needed a doctor who took care of men's troubles." The patient, about 40, was pale, febrile, and obviously uncomfortable, and had little to say as he gingerly opened his trousers to expose a bit of angry red and black-and-blue scrotal skin. After I asked the nurse to leave us, the patient permitted me to remove his trousers, shorts, and two or three yards of foul-smelling stained gauze wrapped about his scrotum, which was swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit and extremely tender. A jagged zig-zag laceration, oozing pus and blood, extended down the left scrotum. Amid the matted hair, edematous skin, and various exudates, I saw some half-buried dark linear objects and asked the patient what they were. Several days earlier, he replied, he had injured himself in the machine shop where he worked, and had closed the laceration himself with a heavy-duty stapling gun. The dark objects were one-inch staples of the type used in putting up wallboard. We x-rayed the patient's scrotum to locate the staples; admitted him to the hospital; and gave him tetanus antitoxin, broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy, and hexachlorophene sitz baths prior to surgery the next morning. The procedure consisted of exploration and debridement of the left side of the scrotal pouch. Eight rusty staples were retrieved, and the skin edges were trimmed and freshened. The left testis had been avulsed and was missing. The stump of the spermatic cord was recovered at the inguinal canal, debrided, and the vessels ligated properly, though not much of a hematoma was present. Through-and-through Penrose drains were sutured loosely in site, and the skin was loosely closed. Convalescence was uneventful, and before his release from the hospital less than a week later, the patient confided the rest of his story to me. An unmarried loner, he usually didn't leave the machine shop at lunchtime with his coworkers. Finding himself alone, he had begun the regular practice of masturbating by holding his penis against the canvas drive-belt of a large floor-based piece of machinery. One day, as he approached orgasm, he lost his concentration and leaned too close to the belt. When his scrotum became caught between the pulley- wheel and the drive-belt, he was thrown into the air and landed a few feet away. Unaware that he had lost his left testis, and perhaps too stunned to feel much pain, he stapled the wound closed and resumed work. I can only assume he abandoned this method of self- gratification.

We took them out of the cage and played with them on the dining room table. They were almost fully grown, about the size of a man's palm. My friend hadn't named the gerbils yet, because there were so many of them. It soon became apparent that these gerbils would start another new litter if my friend didn't get rid of them. So we were deciding what to do with this problem when he broke out a case of beer. We drank and played with the gerbils all through the evening. The little gerbils were making turds all over the table and little puddles of piddle leaked here and there. We would pick them up by their tails and put them on our shoulders, all the while knocking back some brew. We tried to give the little critters some of it but only one deigned to take a little sip of it. I guess at that time we drank most of the case of beer and we were pretty wild. We started playing toss with the little furry creatures and I tried juggling them. Well, in our drunken state we weren't doing too well so we took them to the kitchen to see what fun things there were to do with them. Well, this house was a bit old fashioned, and one of the implements was a red meat grinder, you know, one of those things you put meat in a funnel and turn the handle and it comes out in itty bitty peices? Yeah, well we were just pretending to be putting one of the gerbils in, you know, and we were laughing like maniacs like it was the funniest things in the world. My friend was shaking, and I think he lost his grip. At any rate, we couldn't find the gerbil. It must have fallen somewhere. So we stood around trying to look through the haze to try to figure out where it went. We heard little sqeaking noises in the funnel of the meat grinder, and in a fit of hilarity, we spun the handle a few times. Man, you never heard such a noise. The little bastard had fallen in, and when my friend turned the thing, the gerbil let out an ear peircing squeak, and you could hear little scratching sounds in it. blood was starting to dribble out of the exhaust thingy, which we thought was absoulutely thigh slapping. So we would turn the handle a little, making a sound,and the the little guy would go , so we were going and man, was it a riot! Pretty soon it stopped making noise and this horrendus mess was dribbling all over the sink so we gave it up and tried to find the rest of the furry rats. My friend told me to gather up the rest of the critters and he would be right back. Well, in my stupor, I could hardly stand still, so picking up the animals who had run loose all over the kitchen was pretty hard. I picked them up and put them back on the kitchen sink. I was a bit clumsy and I happened to step on one, making a loud snap. The poor guy was was lying squashed, his arms twitching around like he was trying to get up or something. There was blood running out of his ears. Man, was it a sight! I picked it up by its tail and tossed it playfully at my friend who ran in with an kitchen implement. He showed me the Qusinart he had gotten from the basement, and boy, did we have a fit! We absolutely shrieked with laugher as I gathered up the furrballs that were running around in the sink. We put them in the yellow chamber in the modern cusine wonder. Well, it wasn't easy, what with them climbing out. We got them all sealed in, with the top we had to try a few times to make it snap in place. Boy, you shoulda seen those guys in that tight space! They were jumping all over each other and looking through that plastic, sniffing at it and putting their paws up against it when we tapped on it. Their beady black eyes looking at us inqusitively and their noses twitching. Well, we couldn't hold off the temptation anymore; our sides were splitting. So as I laughed like a maniac, my friend's hand thumped firmly on the "on" button. Oh, wow! Those Gerbils leaped like crazy, like when you shake a box of marbles. The blade wasn't doing too well as those mangled gerbils got caught on the blade and were frantically waving their paws as the machine grinded. This one guy had his lower adbodmen ripped off and you could see the wet insides, and he was crawling around in his front legs. There was another with half his face sliced off and he was rubbing it with his paws like he was wondering what was going on. At any rate, my friend tried to get the blade unstuck by pushing the "Pulse" button a couple times, and the Qusinart was going "WHOOM!" "WHOOM!" "WHOOM!" , which just barely masked out the racket the critters were making. Finally, the darn creatures stopped moving around, and then the blade went "clakety clackety clackety" as it grinded up the little gerbil bones. We couldn't see anything in it after that, as there was this reddish brown paste smeared all over the sides with bits and peices we were trying to figure out which belonged to which gerbil. We were really going at it, but then the effects of the beer was finally taking its toll, so we decided to call it a night. I crashed in his living room couch and chuckled myself to sleep, as he fumbled upstairs. So the moral of this story is that you should only puree' little animals in a meat grinder or a Quisinart. How many "man" sized animals do you know that can be placed in such a small place? Have you tried this with ferrets? How do you know what is true? Well, facts are facts, buddy, and you shouldn't do this with turtles or other animals that are hard to grind up. God didn't make Man small enough, which lead to the fact that we have to depend on tiny creatures for entertainment.

It's not a new Bond movie, but a Chinese translation of 'A View to a Kill." The Harrison Ford thriller 'Witness' has the title 'Chase, Kill and Keep the Mouth Shut Permanently', while 'The French Connection' is 'Detective Bang Bang'.

Penguins have the smallest brain capacity of any bird. To kill boredom in the Falkland Islands, the RAF flew low over the shore. The penguins gazed fixedly at the planes as they flew over, but instead of turning round to follow the trajectory, they looked until they fell flat on their backs. The pilots found this very amusing. Nat MP Pietman Hugo has a flair for metaphor. He told a packed Assembly that "after three years of drought, farmers are struggling to keep their heads above water". Insurance claims can make interesting reading as this list published by local insurance journal reveals. Some statements made on recent claims forms: * I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in the ditch by some stray cows; * I thought my window was down, but found it was up when I put my head through it; * In an attempt to kill a fly I hit a telephone pole; * I told the police that I was not injured but on removing my hat found that I had fractured my skull. A new simplified tax form is being prepared. It has only two lines; "How much did you earn last year?" and "Send it."

It's called the Clive Rice Doll - you drop it and it cries. Despite integration, change may come slower than we hope. A teacher at one of the new model-D schools reveals that when she was called away from here grade one class for a few minutes on the first day of term, she instructed her six-year- olds to exchange first names while she was out. When she returned, she found the only white boy being addressed by his black classmates as Baas. Never mind all the kids who are not at school; some of those who are, fill us with dread. Here are some of the answers provided by matric candidates in the recent Geography (Human, Climatology and Geomorphology) examination set by the Transvaal Education Department: * SA is a very hilly country. Thus there are many rivers and streams; * SA is flat. Therefore in order to build dams we must first build mountains; * Woman live longer than men because their menstrual cycle stops and they are in a better mood; * Males die young due to earning enough to pay for their wives' accounts; * Because greater rainfall falls in Natal, there are projects happening there; * SA rivers never run dry due to the fact that they all run below the water table; * If you build dams you must close the harbours because there won't be any water; * We must not build dams because they are a target for the enemy to bomb; * Life in the sea dies because of artificial cement wall which breed slime; * One way of saving water is to bath with a friend - only wash when you have a lot to wash; * Because soil erosion the surface of the planet decreases.

But it isn't government censors at work; rather, the airline is trying to limit further damage after the magazine insulted the country's (frequent flying and big spending) German speaking residents - not to mention thousands of German tourists flooding back after a year-long tourist drought following independence. The offending page carried one of a series of articles intended to poke lighthearted fun at nationalities that have influenced Namibia. Quoting from a book called 'Foreigners Around the World,' Flamingo sums up Germans as follows: "Piggish-looking sadomasochistic automatons whose only known forms of relaxation are swilling watery beer from vast tubs and singing the idiotically repetitive verses of their porcine folk tunes... Their language lacks any semblance of civilised speech. Their usual diet consists almost wholly of old cabbage and sections of animals' intestines filled with blood and gore." The magazine also quotes British humorist William Rushton: "German is the most extravagantly ugly language. It sounds like someone using a sick-bag on a 747." It is understood Air Namibia has been inundated with call from irate Germans vowing to never again use the airline - let alone the sick-bags on its 747. What has four legs, one head and one arm? A pitbull terrier on its way home from the park. With Christmas approaching, Westerners in Japan are waiting with some anticipation to see if a Tokyo hotel repeats the seasonal gesture it made last year. Knowing of, but not quite understanding, the Christmas message, well-meaning management erected above the main doorway what they thought was a traditional symbol for the hotel's many guests. They were greeted by a huge effigy of Santa Claus... nailed to a cross. A recipe for disaster: Take one overpowered sports car, one cocky idiot and 10 cans of lager. Soak the idiot in the lager for a couple of hours, then place in the car. Put car and idiot on motorway and leave. After about half an hour, remove idiot from remains of car, place in a brown, satin-lined box and garnish with flowers. From an Italian child's school composition, reprinted in a local newspaper: "Sunday we went to a sanctuary of the Madonna to ask her Grace to help my eldest sister who is married for five years and has no children. We went, we prayed, then we ate, then we came home. Either we prayed badly or we did not understand each other, the fact is that my other sister fell pregnant and she is not even married."

NUMSA - the national Union of Metalworkers of SA - is advertising for a regional organiser in the eastern Transvaal. One of the chief requirements is a "commitment to work unlimited hours". Very commendable; but would any SA company dare ask the same of its own NUMSA employees? Ford, which sponsored the recent Johannesburg marathon, took advantage of the event to advertise its products along the route. Runners and spectators saw several vehicles draped with banners extolling the virtues of Ford cars and bakkies. Perhaps the message might have come across more strongly if many of the vehicles carrying the banners had not been Toyotas. We're not that different from the rest of Africa. When a crawling Zimbabwe MP made a fool of himself in parliament last week by describing President Robert Mugabe as the Son of God, Harare's Herald newspaper expressed sadness that too many MPs lack "an IQ higher than room temperature". A letter recently received by the head office of CNA, sent from Boylston, Massachusetts, USA, was addressed to "Mr Hoof Kantoor" and began: "Dear Mr Kantoor."

(Don't ask me why my buddy Thor liked atolls - I asked him once a long time ago and all he replied was "Atoll you once before not to ask personal questions"). No sooner did we draw near, and land, than we heard a raucus cry of "Foo! Foo!". Instantly, just in case, we dove back into the surf and swam a few tens of yards off shore, then looked around for the famous bird. Suddenly a seal passed by underwater, trailing a cloud of sticky brown substance. Some of it got on our legs, and Thor (being fastidious) wiped it off, and expired immediately in obvious agony. I, of course, swam home, having realised the awful truth. What truth, you may ask? The atoll was far more dangerous than anyone suspected - as any seal can plainly foo. --- This guy is walking through Chinatown. He is fascinated with all the Chinese Restaurants, the Chinese shops, the Chinese signs and banners on the buildings. He is having the best time just walking and looking. He turns a corner and sees a building with a sign "Hans Olaffsen's Laundry." "Hans Olaffsen?", he thinks. "How in the world does that fit in here?". So, he walks into the shop and sees an old Chinese gentleman sitting in the corner. The visitor asks, "How in the world did this place get a name like Hans Olaffsen's Laundry?". The old man answers "Is name of owner." The visitor asks "Well, who in the heck is the owner?". "I am he", answers the old man. "You? How in the heck did you ever get a name like Hans Olaffsen?" The old man replies, "Many years ago when I come to this country, I was standing in line at Documentation Center. Man in front of me was big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go "What your name? He say Hans Olaffsen. She look at me...What your name? I say Sam Ting." --- More and more lovely courtships sail into the sea of matrimony, and finally sink into the rocky storms of divorce. Courtship, unlike proper punctuation, is a period before a sentence. Courtship is that part of a girl's life which comes between the lipstick and the broomstick. Divorce records show that many married couples spent too much time in court and not enough time courting. If men acted after marriage as they do during courtship there would be fewer divorces -- and more bankruptcies. A newspaper reporter says it's dangerous for a young man to propose to a girl while he's driving a car. It's dangerous anywhere, son! Young man, don't continue to tell your best girl friend that you are unworthy of her. Let it be a surprise!

Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw. Some features I'd like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0... -- A "Don't remind me again" button -- Minimize button -- Shutdown feature -- An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects) -- "Abort" button (O.K. that one's pretty bad - but had to say it) I tried running GirlFriend 2.0 with GirlFriend 1.0 still installed, but they tried using the same i/o port and conflicted. Then I tried to unistall GirlFriend 1.0 but it didn't have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another problem with all versions of GirlFriend that I've used is that it is totally object oriented and only supports hardware with gold plated contacts. ***** BUG WARNING ******** Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

Her husband was laying on the bed when she came out of the bathroom totally nude, just as she had 30 years before. She stood seductively before him and asked, "Tell me, darling, what were you thinking 30 years ago when I came out of the bathroom like this?" He replied, "I took one look at you and thought I'd like to screw your brains out and suck your boobs dry." "And what are you thinking now, baby?" She asked huskily. He said, "I'm thinking I did a pretty good job." ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Extract from a customer complaint letter sent to The Body Shop... "I recently shampooed my pet rabbit with Body Shop shampoo. Its eyes bulged out and turned red. If you tested your stuff on animals like everyone else, this sort of thing wouldn't happen." ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? 1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen. 2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to the Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each. 3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to be 822.6 visits per second. This is to say for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second; a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour. 4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 241,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth. 5) 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earths atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy, per second, each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force. In conclusion - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he is dead now.

I was going to bring you all the gifts from the "Twelve Days of Christmas", but we have a little problem up here. The Twelve Fiddlers Fiddling have come down with V.D. from fiddling with the Ten Ladies Dancing, the Eleven Lords a Leaping have knocked up the Eight Maids a Milking, and the Nine Pipers Piping have been arrested for doing weird things to the Seven Swans a Swimming. The Six Geese-a-Laying, Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves and the Partridge in the pear tree have me up to ass in bird shit. On top of all this, Mrs. Clause is going through a menopause. Eight of my reindeer are in heat, the elves have joined "The Gay Liberation Movement" and those dumb assed Clintons want to change Christmas in the U.S. to the 5th of February. Merry Christmas!

"We're going to be living in a better neighborhood soon," she said. "So are we," replied the neighbor. "Oh, are you moving too?" the snob wanted to know. "No," said the neighbor, smiling sweetly. "We're staying right here." ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The Night Before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas, and God it was neat The kids were both gone, and my wife was in heat. The doors were all bolted, the phone off the hook, it was time for some nooky, by hook or by crook Momma in her teddy and I in the nude, Had just hit the bedroom and reached for the lube When out on the lawn there arose such a cry, That i lost my boner, and momma went dry. Up to the window I sprang like an elf, Tore back the shade while I played with myself. The moon on the crest of the snow man we'd built, showed a broom up his ass, clean up to the hilt. When what to my wandering eyes should appear but a rusty old sleigh and eight mangey reindeer. With a fat little driver, half out of his sled, a sock in his ear and a bra on his head. Sure as I'm speaking, he was high as a kite, and he yelled to his team, and it didn't sound right. Woa shithead, woa asshole, woa stupid, woa putz, Either slow down this rig or I'll cut off your nuts. Look out for the lamp post, and don't hit the tree, Quit shaking the sleigh, 'cause I gotta go pee. They cleared the old lamp post, the tree got a rub, Just as Santa leaned out and threw up on my shrub. And then from the roof, we heardsuch a clatter, As each little reindeer now emptied his bladder. I was donning my jockies, to cover my ass, When down the chimney Santa camewith a crash. His suit was all smelly with perfume galore, He looked like a bum and smelled like a whore. "That was some brothel," he said with a smile, "The reindeer are pooped, and I'll just stay a while." He walked to the kitchen for himself pored a drink, Then whipped out his pecker and pissed in my sink. I started to laugh, my wife smiled with glee, The old boy was hung nearly down to his knee. Back in the den, Santa reached in his sack, But the toys were all gone,and some new things were packed. The first thing he found was a pair of false tits, The next was a hand gun with a penis that spits. A box filled with condoms was Santa's next find, and six pair of panties, the edible kind. A bra without nipples, a penis extension, and several things that I shouldn't even mention. A fuck ring, a G-string, and all types of oil, and a dildo so long that it lay in a coil. "This stuff ain't for kids, Mrs. Santa would shit, So I'll leave them here, and then I'll just split. He filled every stocking and then took his leave, with one tiny butt plug stuck under his sleave. He sprang to his sleigh, but his feet were like lead, Thus he fell on his ass and broke wind instead. In time he was seated, took the reigns on his hitch, Saying "Take me home, Rudolph. This nights been a bitch!" The sleigh was near gone when we heard Santa shout, "The best thing about pussy, is you can't wear it out!!!"

Driving through the secluded countryside, they passed a ranch with a tall deer fence along the road. The woman said, "Sweetheart, let's do the same thing we did here forty years ago." The man stopped the car. His wife backed against the fence and he immediately jumped her bones like a bass on a junebug. They made love like never before. Back in the car the man said, "Darlin', you sure never moved like that forty years ago--or any time since that I can remember!" And the wife responded, "Forty years ago that goddamn fence wasn't electrified!"

When up on da roof' I heard somethin' pound, I sprung to da window, To scream, "Ay! Keep it down!" When what to my Wanderin' eyes should appear, But dat hairy elf Vinny, And eight friggin' reindeer. Wit' a bad hackin' cough, And da stencha burped beer, I knew in a moment Yo, da Kringle wuz here! Wit' a slap to dere snouts, And a yank on dere manes, He cursed and he shouted, And he called dem by name. "Yo Tony, Yo Frankie, Yo Sally, Yo Vito, Ay Joey, Ay Paulie, Ay Pepe, Ay Guido!" As I drew out my gun And hid by da bed, Down came his friggin' boot On da top a my head. His eyes were all bloodshot, His b.o. wuz scary, His breath wuz like sewage, He had a mole dat wuz hairy. He spit in my eye, And he twisted my head, He soon let me know I should consider myself dead. Den pointin' a fat finga Right unda my nose, He let out some gas, And up da chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, Obscenities screaming, And away dey all flew, Before he troo dem a beatin'. But I heard him exclaim, Or better yet grump, "Merry Christmas to all, and Bite me, ya hump!"

My .357 sat right on my lap Just waiting for Santa, to take all his crap. The young'uns were restless and watching in shifts To see if he'd come and I'd shanghai some gifts, When out from the yard came a godawful noise O could it be him with a shitload of toys? I jumped from my chair and my crotch screamed in pain I caught my left nut on my wallet's big chain But then I unwrapped it and flew out the door Yelling, "Hold it right there, you old son of a whore!" "Hands in the air and kick over that sack, And then real slowly move 20 feet back." He did as I told him, fat, stupid old elf; I laughed so damn hard I near pissed on myself. I grabbed his big bag with a hearty guffaw Then I dragged it inside after spitting some chaw. I heard him take off - in a second he split, Leaving my yard heaped with fresh reindeer shit. Back in my chair I let out such a yelp That the wife and the kids came to offer their help, Their eyes filled with wonder - I started to drag A whole shitload of presents from Santa's big bag. I big can of crawdads for when I go fishin' A whopping belt buckle - a brand new transmission, A carton of Redman, some boots and a knife, A nice leather strap just for beating the wife. A matched set of hubcaps, some new fuzzy dice, A country 8-track and a Hustler, how nice! An inflatable dollie for when the old hag Starts her bitching and moaning and goes on the rag. When out of the bag I had pulled every bit I said "Looks like you kids won't be getting no shit." Here was my chance to try out my new strap When they started their bawling and screaming and crap. I chased them upstairs and I popped me a brew, I sat back in my chair, filled my mouth up with chew, With my heart full of gladness, my soul full of cheer, I yelled up, "Maybe you'll get some presents next year!"

And the new soundcard I'd hid by the chimney with care, Had been returned by my spouse who had found it there. I knew kids had long since been poured in their beds While visions of new Apogee games danced in their heads. My spouse fell asleep in a chair next to me The computer was mine, I shouted with glee! When a ring on Node 1 woke me quick from my throes For the name on the logon thrilled me to the toes Away to the keyboard I tore like a flash Fell onto the table - broke a mouse with a crash. The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Shone bright on the ANSI screen from a user we know. And what to my wondering eyes did I see? But one SANTA CLAUS typed so very hesitatingly. In the NEWUSER script answered "YES" to real name, "North Pole" as location, the "XT" was a shame. He read all the rules and then to the bulletins he went. So perfect his logon, I was slow to get bent. I thought: "Download a file, you ain't got all night!" The menus were boring in plain black and white.

The trustees of the Madrid Zoo read that there were only thirty-four whooping cranes left in the United States and determined that they must have one before the breed became extinct. Never mind what Spanish wiles they had to exercise to fulfill their ambition; suffice it to say that a whooping crane was dispatched via air freight in due course and consigned to the Madrid Zoo. Alas, when the fool bird arrived at the Madrid Airport, he flatly refused to debark, and the brokenhearted trustees had to return empty-handed to their zoo. The moral of this story is that__cranes in Spain stick mainly to the plane. Two notorious jewel fences, fugitives from law, were racing down a highway in a sheep-raising state, with the law hot on their tails. They were outdistancing the police when a huge flock of sheep began crossing the highway. The result was a made to order roadblock. The two fences leaped from the car and vainly attempted to escape through the milling sheep, but they were nabbed by the lawmen. After serving time in prison, they went to a psychiatrist and related the story of the sheep roadblock, their capture, and imprisonment. "Now, doc," one of the fences whined, "it's a strange thing, but each night both of us have this awful same nightmare." "Yeah," cried the other fence. "You wouldn't believe it but both of us have the same horrible dream!" "Ah, yes!" exclaimed the psychiatrist. "You both keep seeing fences jumping over sheep." An anthropologist in darkest Africa encountered one tribe whose dexterity with spears astounded him. The chief's aim was particularly unerring.

"These tired old eyes of mine aren't what they used to be," he confessed. "Mind if I let my kid brother try it?" With that, he cupped his lips and bellowed,__"Brother, can you spear a dime?"

Final details of the transaction were hammered out in an all night bargaining session which included President Bill Clinton representing the US, and four unnamed chorus girls. An obviously fatigued and smiling Clinton emerged from the meeting and stated that he saw no chance that there would be opposition from anyone within the government. In an effort to appease regulators, Micro- soft gave a copy of Windows NT and a box of paper clips to Novell. Microsoft said it intends to print money in direct competition with the US Government. Microsoft chairman, Bill Gates, declared, "The Govern- ment has no vision and we intend to eventually take over all operations." The official announcement was made by Microsoft spokesman, Brad Silverberg, who showed reporters an alpha version of the currency Micro- soft will release next year. The currency, called simply "Money" (patent pending) bears a striking resemblance to US currency . When questioned about this, Silverberg stated that the US Government had obviously copied the design. Silverberg alleged that this was constantly happening to Microsoft, citing Apple's theft of the Windows look and feel, and Stac's pilfering of on-the-fly disk compression as only two examples. Gates said the acquisition was made in order to move closer to his grand vision of "Money always at my fingertips." Gates further stated that the move to 32 bit operating systems would make it difficult "for the lemms, uh, I mean, users to continue throwing money at Microsoft in ever increasing amounts." "This (acquisition) will make it unnecessary for our customers to continue to struggle with the challenge of actually buying and installing software," continued Gates. Response within the industry and government was immediate. All major ISV's appeared at the press conference and announced support for Money. Steve Gibson called the acquisition "the most earth shattering event in the history of the world, without question." Brian Livingston said this was the most exciting news "since cousin Pee Wee got his own television show." Ed Bott declared that PC Computing would dedicate its next twelve issues to the new Money and said we would "all be using it soon." Jim Seymour stated that "the miraculous Money is now the standard for currency in the United States." Hillary Clinton was not available for comment. GATESGATE Bill Gates died and, much to everyone's surprise, went to Heaven. When he got there, he had to wait in the reception area. Heaven's reception area was the size of Massachusetts. There were literally millions of people milling about, living in tents with nothing to do all day. Food and water were being distributed from the backs of trucks, while staffers with clipboards slowly worked their way through the crowd. Booze and drugs were being passed around. Fights were commonplace. Sanitation conditions were appalling. All in all, the scene looked like Woodstock gone metastatic. Bill lived in a tent for three weeks until, finally, one of the staff- ers approached him. The staffer was a young man in his late teens, face scarred with acne. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with the words TEAM PETER emblazoned on it in large yellow lettering. "Hello," said the staffer in a bored voice that could have been the voice of any clerk in any overgrown bureaucracy. "My name is Gabriel and I'll be your induction coordinator." Bill started to ask a question, but Gabriel interrupted him. "No, I'm not the Archangel Gabriel. I'm just a guy from Philadelphia named Gabriel who died in a car wreck at the age of 17. Now give me your name, last name first, unless you were Chinese in which case it's first name first." "Gates, Bill." Gabriel started searching though the sheaf of papers on his clipboard, looking for Bill's Record of Earthly Works. "What's going on here?" asked Bill. "Why are all these people here? Where's Saint Peter? Where are the Pearly Gates?" Gabriel ignored the questions until he located Bill's records. Then Gabriel looked up in surprise. "It says here that you were the president of a large software company. Is that right?" "Yes." "Well then, do the math, chip-head! When this Saint Peter business started, it was an easy gig. Only a hundred or so people died every day, and Peter could handle it all by himself, no problem. But now there are over five billion people on earth. Jesus, when God said to 'go forth and multiply,' he didn't say 'like rabbits!' With that large a population, ten thousand people die every hour. Over a quarter-million people a day. Do you think Peter can meet them all personally?" "I guess not." "You guess right. So Peter had to franchise the operation. Now, Peter is the CEO of Team Peter Enterprises, Inc. He just sits in the corporate headquarters and sets policy. Franchisees like me handle the actual inductions." Gabriel looked though his paperwork some more, and then continued. "Your paperwork seems to be in order. And with a back- ground like yours, you'll be getting a plum job assignment." "Job assignment?" "Of course. Did you expect to spend the rest of eternity sitting on your ass and drinking ambrosia? Heaven is a big operation. You have to pull your weight around here!" Gabriel took out a triplicate form, had Bill sign at the bottom, and then tore out the middle copy and handed it to Bill. "Take this down to induction center #23 and meet up with your occupational orientator. His name is Abraham." Bill started to ask a question, but Gabriel interrupted him. "No, he's not *that* Abraham." Bill walked down a muddy trail for ten miles until he came to induction center #23. He met with Abraham after a mere six-hour wait. "Heaven is centuries behind in building its data processing infra- structure," explained Abraham. "As you've seen, we're still doing everything on paper. It takes us a week just to process new entries." "I had to wait _three_ weeks," said Bill. Abraham stared at Bill angrily, and Bill realized that he'd made a mistake. Even in Heaven, it's best not to contradict a bureaucrat. "Well," Bill offered, "maybe that Bosnia thing has you guys backed up." Abraham's look of anger faded to mere annoyance. "Your job will be to supervise Heaven's new data processing center. We're building the largest computing facility in creation. Half a million computers connected by a multi-segment fiber optic network, all running into a back-end server network with a thousand CPUs on a gigabit channel. Fully fault tolerant. Fully distributed processing. The works." Bill could barely contain his excitement. "Wow! What a great job! This is really Heaven!" "We're just finishing construction, and we'll be starting operations soon. Would you like to go see the center now?" "You bet!" Abraham and Bill caught the shuttle bus and went to Heaven's new data processing center. It was a truly huge facility, a hundred times bigger than the Astrodome. Workmen were crawling all over the place, getting the miles of fiber optic cables properly installed. But the center was dominated by the computers. Half a million computers, arranged neatly row-by-row, half a million .... ..... Macintoshes .... ..... all running Claris software! Not a PC in sight! Not a single byte of Microsoft code! The thought of spending the rest of eternity using products that he had spent his whole life working to destroy was too much for Bill. "What about PCs???" he exclaimed. "What about Windows??? What about Excel??? Whatabout Word???" "You're forgetting something," said Abraham. "What's that?" asked Bill plaintively. "This is Heaven," explained Abraham. "We need a computer system that's heavenly to use. If you want to build a data processing center based on PCs running Windows, then.... .... GO TO HELL!" [Witness, if you will, the theme from "The Twilight Zone," gently playing in the background... of your mind; from no apparent speaker.] We once again enter...

I think not! The real name of Bill Gates is William Henry Gates III. Nowadays he is known as Bill Gates (III), where "III" means the order of third (3rd.)

If you are a boy and are reading this, stop immediately. The following article is chock-full of highly intimate girl secrets that will be 10 times more embarrassing than any TV commercial for feminine-hygiene products you've ever seen. So quit it. I mean it. You'll be sorry. =============== Condoms Demystified There are basically three kinds of condoms: unlubricated latex, lubricated latex, and lambskin. The lambskins are no good because they haven't been proven to be a barrier to infection. Anyway, they're really made of lambies and that makes us sad, especially around Easter time. (The real reason we don't like them is that they actually smell like lamb. One is tempted to lubricate them with mint jelly.) There are variations on the basic latex condoms. Some condoms are prelubricated, with spermicidal jelly, even. Others are not. Strictly B.Y.O.K.Y. The strangest variation by far is the ribbed latex condom. Why are these condoms ribbed? This is supposed to bestimulating? Should one attempt to play washboard tunes on it? This is just part of a big problem with condoms. Condoms were, and are, designed by men. If Girls Designed Condoms... What a wonderful world it would be. Skip the ribbing, skip the lube. If women designed condoms there is no question that they would be padded. "But size doesn't matter!" comes a chorus of voices. (The loudest voices come from boys who are peeking. Stop that right now. Turn to the sports page immediately.) Sure *length* doesn't matter. But give any girl a small dose of truth serum and ask her about width. Admit it. If padded condoms were placed on the market, hordes of screaming women would storm their local druggists and dash out with tote bags full. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work. After all, there is that ticklish issue of boy sensitivity, which we can't overlook, even if we occasionally want to. Padded condoms would rob boys of the skin-to-skin senstion they already claim condoms rob them of. And we can't have that. No, we modern women, being kind and sensitive lovers, would design whisper-soft condoms, completely transparent and microscopically thin. The paisley, rainbow, and floral-print condoms we designed would be strictly novelty items, kept for special occasions only. Ditto the condoms with cute sayings: "Hang in there, baby, Friday's coming"; "My girlfriend went to Florida and all I got was this lousy condom"; and the classic "I'm with stupid" (arrow pointing back toward the boy). Other specialty items would include the male-ego condom, which, like black olives, come in three sizes:jumbo, colossal, and humongous. Naughty subversives would enjoy the Karen Finley assortment, colorful, decorative condoms that turn ordinary penises into bananas, hotdogs, yams, and more. But I digress. The best place to buy condoms is your local massive drugstore that has them on display, self-serve, just like corn pads or athlete's foot spray. So go shopping. Dres cool, hold your head high, read labels, make your selection. Be assured that most popular brands come with little instruction booklets much like the ones found in boxes of Tampax (uh oh --don't mix them up!). While at the drugstore, be sure to purchase at least one of the following items: Tickle anti-perspirant, Ban Roll-on, or any of the Calvin Klein line of men's grooming aids. You'll need these for important condom experiments at home. At home, be alone. Light candles. Play inspiring music; any record by Rick James will do. Remove one of the condoms from its packet. Examine it carefully. Then put it to work. Experiment with your slippery new friends; whip those sons-of-gummi-worms into shape. Recruit those deodorant bottles and practice, practice, practice. And how about some new nicknames for the old standbys? Love skins. Slicks. Wet suits. Silk stockings. Eight-by-two glossies. Soon enough, you'll be happy and relaxed, perfectly in control of those silly little slips o' sin. But wait. Something's missing. Oh yes, the hard part. I mean the good part. I mean, both. The Condomed Man It is far, far easier to start them on condoms when the relationship is young. In fact, the condom is a terrific tool of seduction when you're ready to make the leap etween the sheets. Call that someone on the phone and say to him, casual-like, "I just bought a new kind of condom and I'm dying to try it out... want to come over?" Or when out on the town with your paramour, and the clock on the clubhouse wall says thump thump thump, push that hunk against the wall and growl, "Listen, buddy. I've got a condom in my pocket and I'm not afraid to use it. We're g oing home." Welcome To The Safety Patrol Before you know it, you'll be a veritable connoisseur of condoms. You'll allow them to drop casually out of your purse in front of attractive men at cocktail parties. You'll dispense them to friends, give lessons, perhaps even roll your own. "Oh, handsome boyfriend," you'll soon sigh, "I've always wanted to see you in rubber." And he won't mind one bit. MORE CONDOMS We've Come A Long Way... We thought we were pretty darn smart, all right. In the '60s we became liberated and bravely marched into our neighborhood women's-health collective, had our blood tested and our bodies examined, and marched out armed with a pink carousel of little tablets and a new attitude. We related to our sex partners, we discovered the joys of uninhibited physical thrills, we took our pills regularly. In the '70s we were sorry for it and went en masse to our gynecologists to be fitted for diaphragms. We carried them everywhere, became geniuses of delicate timing. We tried IUDs, flirted with cervical caps worn at jaunty angles. We researched and discussed the issues with candor and aplomb; ask any high-spirited modern girl and she'll tell you all about the G-spot, male menopaus, the Hite report, impotence, arousal, pregnancy, the Kama Sutra, birth control. Ready for the '80s? Hell, we thought we were ready for anything. Anything but this. No woman, not even the most avid reader of sex manuals or sophisticated connoisseur of amour, is prepared for the experience of walking to the corner drugstore and asking the freckle-faced adolescent behind the counter for a package of... condoms. OLD FACT: Condoms aren't sexy. Neither are rubbers, sheaths, prohylactics, Coney Island white fish, raincoats, skins, safes, rubber booties, socks. The package says, "Sold for the prevention of venereal disease." The boys say, Sold for the prevention of love. Oft compared to taking a bath with socks on, the condom ritual was the classic bane to the romantic advances of bumbling '50s teens. NEW FACT: Unless you can account for all the blood transfusions, intravenous activities, and sexual escapades of your partner and your partner's partners, you'd best get used to the idea, right now. "Say," you blink innocently, "shouldn't the boy be taking some responsibility for this dangerous transaction?" Yes, of course. But I wouldn't count on it. You know how they are. And here's a horrifying thought: not only are you protecting yourself against your partner, you're protecting your partner against *you*. Oh, cheer up. It beats abstinence. Buy Now, Lay Later Don't even pretend for one minute that you're never going to do "it" again. You will. So brace yourself for the new shopping experience of the '80s. First take: you enter a quiet, out-of-the-way drugstore that has a display of walkers and bedpans in the window. Confident that no one you know will ever spot you here, you stride over to the kindly old pharmacist at the back of the store. "Excuse me," you venture a little shakily. "Where are your rubbers?" You are gently guided to a Totes display in Aisle Three. To save face, you buy a pair of men's size 11s and ditch them in a corner trash can, determined to do better next time. Second take: the next store you choose is a little larger, and crowded. But you can't find the condoms anywhere. There is a line at the cash register. You stand in it, patiently, rehearsing your lines. You arrive. "Excuse me," you politely whisper to the surly loud-mouthed Iranian behind the counter, "where are your prophylactics?" "Right here," he shouts. "What kind ya want?" "Uh, Trojans, I guess." "Lubricated or nonlubricated?" he bellows. "Ya want ribs? We got the ribs kinds." By this time, the entire store is involved in the drama, the crowd behind you is silently hanging on your every word, and you're sure that that's your third-grade teacher who just walked in. "Oh, uh, skip it, thanks. I'll just tell my little brother that he'll have to buy his own." Don't be discouraged. Buying condoms is a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. And here's a heartening factthat I bet even *you* didn't know, Ms. Modern: marketing tests prove that women buy more condoms than men do, and have for years. That's why, ever since the late '70s, condom packages have featured air-brushed photos of couples holding hands at sunset. They thought we'd like that. We don't, but it will have to do till pictures of Mick Jagger, Mel Gibson, or beautiful shoes come along.

I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eighth grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. Note: All speling erors have been reproduzed egactly as they apeared in the original esays. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked, <169>Am I my brother's son?<170> God asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Issac, stole his brothers birthmark. Jacob was a partiarch who brought up twelve sons to partiarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites. Pharoah forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten comandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Philatalists, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines. Without the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. They also had myths. A myths is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Archilles appears in <169>The Illiad<170>, by Homer. Homer also wrote <169>the Oddity<170> in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athen was democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece as the mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men. Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Greeks. History call people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caeser extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March killed him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyrany who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them. Then came the Middle ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the age of Shivery, King Harold mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw, and the victims of the Black Death grew boobs on the back of their necks. Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offence.

AND THEN HE GAVE UP, AND THE REST OF THE JOURNEY WAS IN SILENCE. WHEN PADDY GOT TO MANCHESTER HE WENT OUT TO THE PUB WITH HIS FRIEND MICHAEL AND THEY BOTH SAT THERE STARING AT EACH OTHER OVER PINTS OF BEER. AFTER A LONG WHILE PADDYS EYES LIT UP AND HE SAID, 'MICHAEL, DO YOU LIKE RIDDLES?' THERE WAS A SIMILAR PAUSE AS MICHAEL REPEATED THE WORD 'RIDDLES' SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE.

(:O & 5:1 ==================================================================== JESUS is the Lord's shepherd. ELVIS dated Cybill Shepherd. JESUS was a carpenter. ELVIS' favorite high school class was wood shop. JESUS was part of the Trinity. ELVIS' very first band was a trio. JESUS' entourage, the Apostles, had 12 members. ELVIS' entourage, the Memphis Mafia, had 12 members. JESUS is a Capricorn. (December 25) [though may actually be September 23] ELVIS is a Capricorn. (January 8) JESUS was the lamb of God. ELVIS had mutton chop sideburns. JESUS was first and foremost the Son of God. ELVIS first recorded with Sun Studios, performing what are still considered to be his foremost recordings. JESUS' Father is everywhere. ELVIS' father was a drifter, and moved around quite a bit. JESUS said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." (John 7:37) ELVIS said, "Drinks on me!" (Jailhouse Rock, MGM:1957) JESUS fasted for 40 days and nights. ELVIS had irregular eating habits. (eg: 5 banana splits for breakfast) JESUS said: "Man shall not live by bread alone." ELVIS liked his sandwiches with peanut butter and bananas. Matthew was one of JESUS' many biographers. (The Gospel According to Matthew) Neil Matthews was one of ELVIS' many biographers. (Elvis: A Golden Tribute) "[JESUS'] countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow." ELVIS wore snow-white jumpsuits with lightning bolts. (Matthew 28:3) JESUS said: "Love thy neighbor." (Matthew 22:39) ELVIS said: "Don't be cruel." (RCA 1956) JESUS walked on water. (Matthew 14:25) ELVIS surfed on water. (Blue Hawaii, Paramount:1965) Mary, an important woman in JESUS' life, had an Immaculate Conception. Priscilla, an important woman in ELVIS' life, attended Immaculate Conception High School. JESUS H. CHRIST has 12 letters. ELVIS PRESLEY has 12 letters. No one knows what the "H" in "JESUS H. Christ" stood for. No one was really sure if ELVIS' middle name was "Aron" or "Aaron". JESUS wore a crown of thorns. ELVIS wore Royal Crown hair styler. JESUS had his famous Resurrection. ELVIS had the famous 1968 "comeback" TV special. JESUS lived in a state of grace, in a Near Eastern land. ELVIS lived in Graceland, in a nearly eastern state. BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE! ------------------------ The letters in ELVIS also spell: "Lives", "Evils", and "Viles". The letters in JESUS don't spell much of anything else. But then, neither do the letters in PRESLEY. However, JESUS CHRIST does transmogrify to: "Chess Jurist", "Rich Justess" (close enough), "Sterjc Sushi" (Czech fingerfood), "Such Sister J" (a possible `friend' of Elvis??), and "Such jest, Sir!" Further, ELVIS PRESLEY will also spell: "Less Vile Prey", "Silly Vespere", "Peerless Vily", and "Riply's Sleeve" (Believe It or Not!) Moreover, "Christmas" has the same number of letters as "Graceland". And the three letters shared in common, spell both "arc" and "car". Lastly - and this is an Internet Exclusive - JESUS and ELVIS were never both seen in the same place at the same time. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ A MAN WALKED INTO A DOCTORS WAITING ROOM AND SAW A NUN SITTING THERE CRYING HER EYES OUT AND OBVIOUSLY VERY UPSET WHEN HE WENT INTO THE DOCTOR HE ASKED THE GOOD PHYSICIAN WHY THE NUN WAS CRYING SO MUCH. THE DOCTOR REPLIED 'I TOLD HER SHE WAS PREGNANT' 'GOOD GRIEF' SAID THE GUY,'BUT HOW CAN THAT BE AS SHE IS A NUN ?' 'SHE ISN'T REALLY' SAID THE GOOD DOCTOR, 'BUT IT CURED HER HICCUPS' THE YEARS NEW INTAKE OF NOVICES WERE GETTING THEIR INITIAL MEDICAL INSPECTION FROM THE CONVENT DOCTOR WHEN HE NOTICED SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT ONE OF THE OLDER GIRLS. THE KINDLY OLD PRACTITIONER WENT IMMEDIATELY TO THE MOTHER SUPERIOR AND INFORMED HER... 'MOTHER SUPERIOR, YOU HAVE AMONGST THE NEW GIRLS ONE WITH AN INCREDIBLY RARE DEFORMITY, SHE HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH TWO FANNIES.' 'GOOD GRACIOUS', EXCLAIMED THE MOTHER SUPERIOR, 'WILL SHE BE ABLE TO LEAD A NORMAL LIFE?' 'OF COURSE', THE GOOD DOCTOR REPLIED, 'ESPECIALLY AS SHE IS TO BE A NUN, NO-ONE WILL EVER NOTICE, HOWEVER, I SHOULD LIKE IT VERY MUCH IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME TO CONSULT WITH MY PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUES AND ASK THEM TO COME AND LOOK AT HER.' 'OF COURSE YOU MAY', SAID THE MOTHER SUPERIOR AND OFF HE WENT. THREE WEEKS LATER THE CONVENT MEDIC RETURNED WITH HIS PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGES AND ASKED TO SEE THE AFFECTED NUN. 'I'M AFRAID YOU CAN'T', SAID THE MOTHER SUPERIOR, 'WE HAD TO GET RID OF HER'. 'WHY', ASKED THE OLD DOCTOR IN REPLY. 'WE COULDN'T STAND HER " HOLIER THAN THOU " ATTITUDE', WAS THE REPLY. TWO NUNS RIDING BICYCLES DOWN A COBBLED STREET, AND ONE TURNES TO THE OTHER AND SAYS 'DO YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER COME THIS WAY BEFORE ?'.... ...AT LAST THE HILL WAS TOO STEEP AND THE POOR NUNS HAD TO GET OFF THEIR BICYCLES AND WALK. AS THEY PASSED A DARK PASSAGEWAY TWO YOBOES JUMPED OUT, DRAGGED THEM INTO THE PASSAGE AND STARTED TO RAPE THEM 'LORD FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO',SAID ONE 'SSHHHHHH', SAID THE OTHER,'THIS ONE DOES'..... ....AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN RAPED BY THE TWO YOBBO'S THE TWO NUNS CONTINUE TO THE TOP OF THE HILL TO THE CONVENT. ONE TURNS TO THE OTHER AND SAYS 'WHAT WILL WE TELL THE MOTHER SUPERIOR ABOUT BEING RAPED TWICE ?' AND THE OTHER REPLIES 'BUT WE WERE ONLY RAPED ONCE', AND THE FIRST SAYS 'WE'RE COMING BACK THIS WAY AREN'T WE ?'... ....SO THE POOR NUNS RAPED AND EXHAUSTED CONFESS TO THE MOTHER SUPERIOR THOSE THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED ON THE WAY (SEE NUNSEQ01/02/03) AND SHE SAYS 'GO AWAY AND EACH SUCK HALF A LEMON'. 'WILL THAT ABSOLVE US FROM OUR SIN ?',ASKS ONE OF THE NUNS, 'NO', SAID THE MOTHER SUPERIOR, 'BUT IT WILL WIPE THAT SILLY GRIN OF YOUR FACES'.... ....SO AFTER THE TWO NUNS HAVE SUCKED THEIR LEMONS THEY RETURN TO THE MOTHER SUPERIOR FOR THE SECOND PART OF THEIR PENNANCE. 'NOW YOU MUST GO AND WASH YOUR FANNIES IN THE HOLY WATER', SAYS THE MOTHER SUPERIOR 'AND YOUR SINS WILL BE FINALLY ABSOLVED'. SO OFF THEY GO TO THE FONT IN THE CATHEDRAL, AND AFTER LOOKING AROUND TO CHECK NO-ONE IS ABOUT, THEY ARE JUST ABOUT TO CLAP THE HOLY SPONGES OVER THEIR PUSSIES WHEN ANOTHER NUN COMES RUSHING UP AND SAYS, 'WAIT WAIT, I'VE GOT TO GARGLE IN THAT FIRST'.... ...LATER THAT NIGHT ALL THE NUNS ARE LYING IN THE DORMITORY WHEN THE MOTHER SUPERIOR CALLS UP THE STAIRS, 'ALL RIGHT GIRLS, IT'S TEN'O'CLOCK, BIBLES AWAY AND CANDLES OUT' AND COMES THE SOUND 'POP' 'POP' 'POP' ....... ....AND THATS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY NUNS GO AROUND IN PAIRS. SO THAT ONE NUN SEES THE OTHER NUN GETS NUN..... ....BUT THE MOTHER SUPERIOR WAS NOT HEARTLESS AND KNEW HER YOUNGER NUNS AND SAID,'I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO YOU GETTING A LITTLE BIT FROM THE MONKS ACROSS THE WAY, BUT DON'T GET INTO THE HABIT'... ....NINE MONTHS LATER THE ONE NUN GAVE BIRTH TO A BABY WITHOUT ANYBODY KNOWING ABOUT IT. SHE WAS IN TWO MINDS AS TO WHETHER SHE SHOULD TELL THE MOTHER SUPERIOR ABOUT IT. SHE EVENTIALLY DECIDED TO TELL HER. SO SHE TOOK THE BABY AND WENT TO THE MOTHER S'S ROOM. ARRIVING THERE SHE FOUND THE MOTHER SOUND ASLEEP WITH HER LEGS ASTRIDE. SEEING A SOLUTION TO HER PROBLEM SHE CAREFULLY PLACED THE BABY BETWEEN MOTHERS LEGS AND LEFT.THE NEXT MORNING THE MOTHER WOKE UP AND FOUND THE BABY THERE AND EXCLAIMED, 'FUCKIT, YOU CAN'T EVEN TRUST THE ALTAR CANDLES THESE DAYS...' ..... A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME NUN WENT TO THE HEAD MONK TO TO COMPLAIN. "FATHER I CAME WALKING THROUGH THE PARK TODAY WHEN A BASTARD GRABBED ME AND KISSED ME" "LIKE THIS MY CHILD?" THE MONK ASKED AND GRABBED HER AND KISSED HER. "YES FATHER" "BUT THAT IS NO REASON TO CALL THE MAN A BASTARD MY CHILD." "YES FATHER BUT THEN HE THREW MY ON THE GRASS" "LIKE THIS MY CHILD?" THE MONK ASKED AND THREW HER DOWN ON THE COUCH. "YES FATHER" "BUT THAT IS NO REASON TO CALL THE MAN A BASTARD MY CHILD." "YES FATHER BUT THEN HE UNDRESSED ME" "LIKE THIS MY CHILD?" THE MONK ASKED AND TOOK HER CLOTHES OFF. "YES FATHER" "BUT THAT IS NO REASON TO CALL THE MAN A BASTARD MY CHILD." "YES FATHER BUT THEN HE RAPED ME" "LIKE THIS MY CHILD?" THE MONK ASKED AND STARTED SCREWING HER, "YES FATHER" "BUT THAT IS NO REASON TO CALL THE MAN A BASTARD MY CHILD." "YES FATHER, BUT HE GAVE ME V.D." "SUCH A BASTARD!!." HE EXCLAIMED PULLING HIS SCHLUNG OUT IN A GREAT RUSH. MOTHER SUPERIOR TO NUNS RIDING BICYCLE IN THE COURTYARD: 'O.K. GIRLS,BACK ON WITH THE SADDLES' NOVICE NUN IN CONVENT (NUNNERY?) IS ASKED TO HOLD THE FORT WHILST THE MOTHER SUPERIOR IS AWAY AND IS GIVEN SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO LOOK AFTER AN AILING OLD MONK WHO IS SPENDING HIS LAST DAYS THERE. ON HER RETURN THE MOTHER SUPERIOR ASKED 'HOW IS THE OLD MONK ?' AND THE NOVICE SAID THAT ON THE FIRST DAY SOON AFTER SHE HAD TAKEN IN HIS FOOD SHE HAD SEEN A LARGE LUMP UNDER HIS HABIT AND ASKED WHAT IT WAS. HE HAD REPLIED THAT IT WAS THE KEY TO HEAVEN AND THAT SHE HAD THE KEYHOLE. HE HAD UNLOCKED THE DOOR TO HEAVEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. 'THE OLD BASTARD' REPLIED THE MOTHER SUPERIOR, 'HE TOLD ME IT WAS GABRIELS HORN' NOVICE IN CONVENT GARDEN IS FRIGHTENING PIGEONS FROM NEWLY PLANTED SEEDS BY WAVING HER HANDS AND SHOUTING 'FUCK OFF' TO THE BIRDS. MOTHER SUPERIOR IS AGHAST AND RUNS QUICKLY TO THE LITTLE NUN. 'SSHHHHHH' SAYS THE MOTHER SUPERIOR, 'THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO IT', 'YOU MUST JUST SAY 'SHOO SHOO' AND THEY'LL FUCK OFF BY THEMSELVES' A PRIEST WAS CONFRONTED BY A PROSTITUTE. 'DO YOU WANT A QUICKY FOR FIVE RAND?'. NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS ,HE SAID NO. A FEW MINUTES ANOTHER PROSTITUTE ALSO OFFERED HIM A QUICKY FOR FIVE RAND. AGAIN HE SAID NO. WHEN HE GOT BACK TO THE MONASTERY HIS CURIOSITY GOT THE BETTER OF HIM AND HE WENT TO A NUN. 'WHAT' HE ASKED 'IS A QUICKY?' THE NUN ANSWERED 'THE SAME AS IN TOWN. FIVE RAND' THE LITTLE NOVICE WAS ONLY ELEVEN YEARS OLD AND WAS TROUBLED BY THE TINY SWELLINGS ON HER CHEST, THINKING THIS WAS SOME PENANCE THAT GOD WAS MAKING HER SUFFER FOR SOME UNREMEMBERED SIN. SO SHE WENT HESITANTLY TO THE MOTHER SUPERIORS OFFICE AND KNOCKED ON THE DOOR. 'COME IN', SAID THE MOTHER SUPERIOR, 'WHAT IS TROUBLING YOU MY CHILD ?' 'WELL', SAID THE LITTLE NUN, AND EXPLAINED THE FEARS SHE HAD ABOUT THESE 'BUMPS' ON HER CHEST 'HOW OLD ARE YOU', SAID THE MOTHER SUPERIOR. 'ELEVEN GOING ON TWELVE', SAID THE NOVICE. 'WELL THEN',WAS THE KIND REPLY,'AT ABOUT YOUR AGE ALL GIRLS START TO GET THEM. EVENTUALLY THEY DEVELOP INTO THE SAME AS I HAVE MORE OR LESS, SO TO SPEAK'.'SO WORRY NOT AND GO IN PEACE'. MUCH RELIEVED THE LITTLE NUN RETURNED TO HER CELL. AND SO UNTIL ABOUT FOURTEEN MONTHS LATER SHE WAS IN HER BATH AND NOTICED LITTLE DARK HAIRS THAT ITCHED WERE GROWING AROUND HER PUSSY. WORRIED AGAIN THAT THIS WAS PUNISHMENT FOR SOME TERRIBLE SIN SHE RETURNED TO THE MOTHER SUPERIORS OFFICE AND KNOCKED AGAIN. 'COME IN', REPLIED A DEEP VOICE FROM INSIDE AND SHE HESITANTLY WENT INSIDE. THE FATHER ABBOT FROM ACROSS THE ROAD STOOD THERE. 'YES, MY CHILD ?',ASKED THE KINDLY OLD MAN. AND THE LITTLE GIRL EXPLAINED ABOUT HER PUSSY, BEING INNOCENT AND THEREFORE UNAFRAID TO TALK TO THE ABBOT. 'HOW OLD ARE YOU ?', ASKED THE GENTLE OLD MONK, AND SHE REPLIED, 'THIRTEEN'. 'WELL', SAID THE ABBOT, 'AT ABOUT YOUR AGE ALL PEOPLE START TO GROW HAIR ROUND THERE'.'IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT'. 'HOW DO I KNOW THAT'S TRUE ?', SHE ASKED.'THE MOTHER SUPERIOR SHOWED ME HER BUST WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT MY BREASTS WERE GROWING, BUT I CANNOT SEE YOUR HAIR AS IT DOES NOT SHOW UNDER CLOTHES......! 'LET ME REASSURE YOU', HE SAID AND OPENED HIS HABIT TO DO JUST THAT...! THE LITTLE GIRLS EYES GREW BIGGER AND BIGGER AS SHE STARED AT HIS GREAT BIG SCHLUNG HANGING THERE, AND AT LAST SHE SAID.. 'GOOD LORD, AND WHEN DO I GET ONE OF THOSE BETWEEN MY LEGS' HE REPLIED 'JUST AS SOON AS I SHUT THAT FUCKING DOOR' ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ El Mundo's Favorite Pick-Up Lines _________________________________ 1.

You see, Smurfs are a lot like other folks; they have dreams and ambitions, deep, thoughtful conversations with each other, and good and bad times. "But," people ask, "do Smurfs have..... you know,...... *sex*?" The answer is an emphatic and resounding YES! And why shouldn't they? They're people, too. What *most* people don't know is why Smurfs are blue. Well, the reason is because Smurfs only have sex once a year. Face it: if you had sex only once a year, you'd be blue, too. Once a year, in the Smurf village, flags and banners fly happily in the breeze, proclaiming that the day of the annual Smuckfest has arrived. Birds sing and the Sun comes out to watch, despite the weatherSmurf's direst predictions. I guess good ol' Mr. Sun is a voyeur. In the middle of town, Papa Smurf gives a brief speech explaining the origin of the Smuckfest; how Dr. C. Everett Koop came to the village and warned all the Smurfs about AIDS. Papa Smurf knew that no one made condoms small enough for a Smurf (even though everyone knows that all male Smurfs are uniformly well-hung, for their size), so he decreed that all Smurfs would only smuck one day a year. "Smucking one day a year will help us identify any diseases we may transmit to one another, and keep them from spreading to the animals in the forest," declaimed Papa Smurf. "Besides, it will give Smurfette a chance to rest." Yes! Smurfette must rest. For, as everyone knows, Smurfette is the only female Smurf in the village, and after a full day of having vigorous, rabid sex with two hundred cunt-crazed little blue men, she needs a break. So, on the appointed day, Papa Smurf bids everyone throw their inhibitions to the wind and immerse themselves in debauchery. And, as is his privilege, Papa Smurf throws out the first throe. At his signal, Smurfette unties the skintight blue band she must use to suppress her natural bustiness, and her astounding tits spring forth into the daylight. The Sun gleams lecherously on the smooth, blue flesh, nipples crinkling in the light of day from her soon-to-be-unbridled lust. Then Smurfette shimmies out of her skirt and stands before the crowd, naked as the day she was born, save the spike-heeled white boots she has donned just for the occasion. Her long, blonde hair cascades down her back and lasciviously outlines her buttocks, clinging like a dirty old man's gaze to each curve and dimple. Her cunt winks lewdly from behind the golden shield of pubic glory, already glistening in mad anticipation of each and every raging rod it would receive that day. And receive them gladly it would, for hers is the indefatigable furburger, and she hungered for the sauce blended in the heat of passion. Smurfette turns to Papa Smurf and lifts her stupendous breasts with their turgid nipples to his lips. He takes each one, in turn, into his mouth, where his tongue dances the Fabulous Fandango around the areolae, as Smurfette moans like a cat in heat. Then, when poor Smurfette can take no more, Papa Smurf drops to his bony little knees and sprinkles his magic deSmurfilating dust on Smurfette's engorged cunt lips. Presto! The lovely blonde braiding material falls from her, leaving her shaved smooth as a hard-boiled egg. "Oh, Papa Smurf!" she cries. "Encore!! Encore!!", as she writhes in anticipation of the Fabulous Furless Fandango danced 'round her pulsating pussy. Papa Smurf does not disappoint the damsel in distress; he slides his hands under her tight little blue ass and parts her moistness with his thumbs. As the hot, funky juices begin to run down his arms, he plunges tongue-first and tonsil-deep into her wiggling womanhood. Smurfette gasps as the talented tongue begins to do its magic, and her cunt clutches at it like a baby bird after a worm. Cradling his head to her crotch, Smurfette's hips begin to slowly grind and twitch, for Papa Smurf's tongue has unerringly found her S-spot, and Smurfette begins the slow, hot, agonizing rise to ecstasy. "Oh, make me smurf, baby, make me smurf!", she pants, each stroke of his tongue causing her to throb and clutch. As Smurfette's moans and cries rise in pitch higher and higher, the crowd gazes in amazement at the mighty mound of meat struggling to escape from Papa Smurf's pants. This, then, is the legendary Trouser Titan, bulging forth in a determined attempt to split the barrier. Just when Smurfette is certain that she will die from sheer sensory overload, Papa Smurf flings off his Levis and frees the Magnificent Heat-Seeking Moisture Missle from its cradle. Maddened with blind lust, Smurfette hurls Papa Smurf to the platform and leaps shrieking into the air, landing unerringly on his Titanic Totem. Suddenly filled, Smurfette's cunt explodes in a monster orgasm, the force of which propels her screaming into the air again and again, each time plummeting her onto the Potent Purple Pecker and triggering another climax. Before Smurfette can achieve orbit, Papa Smurf grab her legs and pulls her to the ground. Swiftly, he stands, pulling her to her knees. Gasping in awe, Smurfette gets a head-on view of his hard-on, glistening in the light like a war staff. The sight of this shining stud is too much for Smurfette, who immediately grabs both of Papa smurf's bulging balls in her hands and pulls him to her waiting mouth. With preternatural skill and primeval hunger, Smurfette devours the monster cock, licking and sucking like a starving child with an ice cream cone. His ass knotting like a sailor's anchor rope, Papa Smurf pounds into Smurfette's mouth with furious strokes. As he reaches his blazing climax, he forces Smurfette to take all thirteen and 7/8ths inches of blue tube steak and fires round after pulsing round of blue goo down her ravenous throat. "Hurray!!", shouts the crowd. "Now it's OUR turn!!" Suddenly the town square erupts with scenes of azure carnality, as 200 tiny blue asses appear in the sunlight. 200 raging cocks swarm toward Smurfette's waiting and ever-willing cunt, ready to make her scream for mercy as they scream for more. 400 bouncing balls follow each other toward the nearest available orifice, making Smurfette wish there were more of her. Those lucky enough to find access to Smurfette's fabulous form begin their crazed humping, as others find their schlongs being stroked as fast as she can grab. Those whose time will come later are coming now, as their friends clutch lustily at their forbidden fruits, flinging frothy fuck-foam far and wide. Up the ass! Down the throat! Backhand, forehand, underhand, in the armpit or behind the knee, the Smurfs erupt in a display of orgasmic prowess to shame the most devoted student of the Kama Sutra. Soon the street become hazardous to navigate (and navigate one must), as the square gets deeper and deeper in the collective come. Hour after hour, the orgy rampages on. Gradually, as night falls, the screams of orgasmic ecstasy turn to the moans and sighs of deep contentment, with the occasional whimper from an over-enthusiastic sodomite. Soon all is quiet, as Smurf helps Smurf back to Home and Preparation H. Tubes of Chap-Stick are quickly distributed to soothe aching lips, and aloe gel is applied (as are lips, if it is too stimulating) to the citizen's members to ease the burning. As the exhausted (and completely sated) Smurfs lie in sexual stupor, gentle rains come (not them, too!) to wash away all traces of the fleshfest that was. And you wondered why Smurfs are always in such a good mood...... ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ "Star Trek Lost Episodes" transcript. "Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their command pathways?" "Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology." "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?" "Allow me to explain. We will send this program, for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once inside there root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate." "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter there processing systems to increase their storage capacity?" "Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of there processing ability will be taken over and none will be available for there normal operational functions." "Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geometric shape' idea." "Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in the command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all resources. We however have not received any confirmation of the expected 'upgrade'." "Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to compensate for there increase." "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if there is something we have missed." "Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure in the 'upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by not sending in their registration cards. "Captain we have no choice. Requesting permission to begin emergency escape sequence 3F . . ." "Wait, Captain I just detected their CPU capacity has suddenly dropped to 0% !" "Data, what does your scanners show?" "Apparently the Borg have found the internal 'Windows' module named 'Solitaire' and it has used up all the CPU capacity." "Lets wait and see how long this 'solitaire' can reduce their functionality." "Geordi what's the status on the Borg?" "As expected the Borg are attempting to re-engineer to compensate for increased CPU and storage demands, but each time they successfully increase resources I have setup our closest deep space monitor beacon to transmit more 'windows' modules from something called the 'Microsoft fun-pack'. "How much time will that buy us ?" "Current Borg solution rates allow me to predicate an interest time span of 6 more hours." "Captain, another vessel has entered our sector." "Identify." "It appears to have markings very similar to the 'Microsoft' logo" "THIS IS ADMIRAL BILL GATES OF THE MICROSOFT FLAGSHIP MONOPOLY. WE HAVE POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTOR. SURRENDER ALL ASSETS AND WE CAN AVOID ANY TROUBLE. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS" "The alien ship has just opened its forward hatches and released thousands of humanoid shaped objects." "Magnify forward viewer on the alien craft" "Good God captain! Those are humans floating straight toward the Borg ship with no life support suits ! How can they survive the tortures of deep space ?!" "I don't believe that those are humans sir, if you will look closer I believe you will see that they are carrying something recognized by twenty-first century man as doe skin leather briefcases, and wearing Armani suits" "Lawyers !!" "It can't be. All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2017 during the Great Awakening." "True, but apparently some must have survived." "They have surrounded the Borg ship and are covering it with all types of papers." "I believe that is known in ancient vernacular as 'red tape' it often proves fatal." "They're tearing the Borg to pieces !" "Turn off the monitors. I can't stand to watch, not even the Borg deserve that." ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DOWN TO THE WIRE InfoWorld (Oct 17) I'm wondering if Windows 95 will live long and phosphor "Sulu, set path to the floppy drive. Scotty, fit the hard drive with the Microsoft Windows 95 engine. Chekov, prepare the install disks, we're about to begin a sequel." "Captain, Windows 95 doesn't do SQL." "Right. Then let's see how she performs at task speed. Scotty?" "Captain, are you sur-r-re you want to r-r-replace the system? If ye put Windows code into a true 32-bit multitasking environment, we'll risk a matter-antimatter explosion!" "Scotty, that's an order." "Aye, Captain, but she's just not ready. She needs a proper beta shakedown." "That's what we're doing, Scotty. Chekov, how are those install disks coming?" "We're on disk 5, sir." "Good. Spock?" "Fascinating, Captain. It appears as if Windows 95 is scanning our hardware and mutating to adapt." "Then, Spock, can you tell me why it is saying it can't use the Microsoft sound card, which works fine as configured under Windows 3.1?" "Unknown, Captain." "Will it use a ProAudio Spectrum?" "Unknown, Captain." "How about a Sound Blaster?" "Unknown, Captain." "What good are you, anyway?" "Box-office attraction, Captain." "Bones?" "I'm a doctor, not a hardware technician." "Spock, cancel the Microsoft sound card and install the ProAudio Spectrum. Chekov, finish the software installation. Sulu, reboot the system when it's ready and prepare to go to task speed on my signal." "Aye, aye, Captain." "Chekov?" "We've just entered the desktop zone, Captain." "Captain, she canna take it much more. Another 15 sectors and the engines'll burn up fer sur-r-re." "Scotty, we haven't even started yet." "Sorry, Captain, I just haven't had a line in so long..." "Sulu, go to task 1. Bring up the README.TXT in the Notepad." "Aye, Captain." "Wait a minute. Cancel that order. Plot a shortcut to the README.TXT in the desktop zone. We'll be navigating back there frequently." "Yes, sir." "Spock?" "It seems as if we have a hardware conflict, sir. The ProAudio Spectrum 16 isn't responding, either in sound or SCSI." "Disable the card, Spock." "I'm sorry, sir. It won't disable the SCSI without stopping the sound card first. And it won't disable the sound card without disabling the SCSI first." "Captain, an enemy ship is approaching at 12 o'clock." "[Looks at watch.] Good, that gives us a little more time to debug these systems." "No, sir. The ship is already upon us." "Uhura?" "Scanning all frequencies, sir. I'm trying to get an image, sir, but the system is awfully slow." "Scotty, what's happening down there?" "The engine is running smoothly, Captain, but the 16-bit GDI can only process one console request at a time." "See what you can do, Scotty. Spock?" "It appears to be an IBM ship, Captain. Equipped with a Warp drive." [Impressive sound of Warp engine coming up to speed, oohs and ahhs as crew gazes in the direction of enemy ship.] "Put it on visual, Chekov." "Aye, aye, sir." [Louder oohs and ahhs.] "Spock, the enemy ship is approaching fast. We need audio!" "I'm sorry, Captain. The registry is not responding." "Bones?" "I'm a doctor, not a beta tester!" "Quick, Sulu, bring up the README.TXT file." "Captain -- it's gone. Some other task in the system must have moved or changed it." "Long-range scan, Chekov." "I found it, Captain. Wait a minute. This README.TXT file is for the game Lands of Lore, with Patrick Stewart doing the voice of King Richard." "Patrick Stewart?" "You've never heard of Patrick Stewart?" "No." "Must be a generation gap." "Captain, she canna take it much more. Another 15 sectors and the engines'll burn up fer sur-r-rre." "[Sigh.] Maintain power, Mr. Scott. Quick, Sulu, put us on red alert." "Captain, I can't figure out how to change the color of the desktop background!" "Bones?" "I'm a doctor, not a quick reference!" "Never mind. Find the screen saver. Spock, prepare to fire HP LaserJet." "Captain, I've chosen the screen saver that says `Chicago is COOL' but now I'm getting no response at the helm." [Boom as the enemy hits ship with photon torpedo, then large zapping sound, then either ship moves back and forth, or people sway left and right, depending on perspective. Sparks fly from console, fires glare, indicating what would normally be ir-r-reparable damage, yet will be fixed in just minutes.] "Sulu, take evasive action; otherwise it's certain doom!" "Aye, aye, Captain. It certainly is Doom and I don't mind saying I'm getting awfully sick of this demo. Doom is one of the most stable games on the market and it runs under OS/2 with no problems whatsoever." "We've got...to get...to the kernel. Uhura...notify...the...kernel at Star Fleet." "Captain, I think either communications is breaking up, or you're dropping into melodramatic Shakespearean stammer mode again." "Spock?" "Fascinating, Captain.

Many flies were observed crawling across the Twinkie's surface, but contrary to hypothesis, birds -- even pigeons -- avoided this potential source of sustenance. Despite the rain and prolonged exposure to the sun, the Twinkie retained its original color and form. When removed, the Twinkie was found to be substantially dehydrated. Cracked open, it was observed to have taken on the consistency of industrial foam insulation; the filling, however, retained its advertised "creaminess." RADIATION: A Twinkie was placed in a conventional microwave oven, which was set for precisely 4 minutes -- the approximate cooking time of bacon. After 20 seconds, the oven began to emit the Twinkie's rich, characteristic aroma of artificial butter. After 1 minute, this aroma began to resemble the acrid smell of burning rubber. The experiment was aborted after 2 minutes, 10 seconds, when thick, foul smoke began billowing from the top of the oven. A second Twinkie was subjected to the same experiment. This Twinkie leaked molten white filling. When cooled, this now epoxylike filling bonded the Twinkie to its plate, defying gravity; it was removed only upon application of a butter knife. EXTREME FORCE: A Twinkie was dropped from a ninth-floor window, a fall of approximately 120 feet. It landed right side up, then bounced onto its back. The expected "splatter" effect was not observed. Indeed, the only discernible damage to the Twinkie was a narrow fissure on its underside. Otherwise, the Twinkie remained structurally intact. EXTREME COLD: A Twinkie was placed in a conventional freezer for 24 hours. Upon removal, the Twinkie was not found to be frozen solid, but its physical properties had noticeably "slowed": the filling was found to be the approximate consistency of acrylic paint, while exhibiting the mercurylike property of not adhering to practically any surface. It was noticed that the Twinkie had generously absorbed freezer odors. EXTREME HEAT: A Twinkie was exposed to a gas flame for 2 minutes. While the Twinkie smoked and blackened and the filling in one of its "cream holes" boiled, the Twinkie did not catch fire. It did, however, produce the same "burning rubber" aroma noticed during the irradiation experiment. IMMERSION: A Twinkie was dropped into a large beaker filled with tap water. The Twinkie floated momentarily, began to list and sink, and viscous yellow tendrils ran off its lower half, possibly consisting of a water-soluble artificial coloring. After 2 hours, the Twinkie had bloated substantially. Its coloring was now a very pale tan -- in contrast to the yellow, urine-like water that surrounded it. The Twinkie bobbed when touched, and had a gelatinous texture. After 72 hours, the Twinkie was found to have bloated to roughly 200 percent of its original size, the water had turned opaque, and a small, fan-shaped spray of filling had leaked from one of the "cream holes." Unfortunately, efforts to remove the Twinkie for further analysis were abandoned when, under light pressure, the Twinkie disintegrated into an amorphous cloud of debris. A distinctly sour odor was noted. SUMMARY OF RESULTS The Twinkie's survival of a 120-foot drop, along with some of the unusual phenomena associated with the "creamy filling" and artificial coloring, should give pause to those observers who would unequivocally categorize the Twinkie as "food." Further clinical inquiry is required before any definite conclusions can be drawn.

Speaking at the recent UnixWorld Software Development Forum, Thompson revealed the following: "In 1969, AT&T had just terminated their work with the GE/Honeywell/AT&T Multics project. Brian and I had just started working with an early release of Pascal from Professor Nichlaus Wirth's ETH labs in Switzerland and we were impressed with its elegant simplicity and power. Dennis had just finished reading 'Bored of the Rings', a hilarious National Lampoon parody of the great Tolkien 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. As a lark, we decided to do parodies of the Multics environment and Pascal. Dennis and I were responsible for the operating environment. We looked at Multics and designed the new system to be as complex and cryptic as possible to maximize casual users' frustration levels, calling it Unix as a parody of Multics, as well as other more risque allusions. Then Dennis and Brian worked on a truly warped version of Pascal, called 'A'. When we found others were actually trying to create real programs with A, we quickly added additional cryptic features and evolved into B, BCPL and finally C. We stopped when we got a clean compile on the following syntax: for(;P("\n"),R-;P("|"))for(e=C;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("| "+(*u/4)%2); To think that modern programmers would try to use a language that allowed such a statement was beyond our comprehension! We actually thought of selling this to the Soviets to set their computer science progress back 20 or more years. Imagine our surprise when AT&T and other US corporations actually began trying to use Unix and C! It has taken them 20 years to develop enough expertise to generate even marginally useful applications using this 1960's technological parody, but we are impressed with the tenacity (if not common sense) of the general Unix and C programmer. In any event, Brian, Dennis and I have been working exclusively in Pascal on the Apple Macintosh for the past few years and feel really guilty about the chaos, confusion and truly bad programming that have resulted from our silly prank so long ago." Major Unix and C vendors and customers, including AT&T, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, GTE, NCR, and DEC have refused comment at this time. Borland International, a leading vendor of Pascal and C tools, including the popular Turbo Pascal, Turbo C and Turbo C++, stated they had suspected this for a number of years and would continue to enhance their Pascal products and halt further efforts to develop C. An IBM spokesman broke into uncontrolled laughter and had to postpone a hastily convened news conference concerning the fate of the RS-6000, merely stating 'VM will be available Real Soon Now'. In a cryptic statement, Professor Wirth of the ETH institute and father of the Pascal, Modula 2 and Oberon structured languages, merely stated that P. T. Barnum was correct. In a related late-breaking story, usually reliable sources are stating that a similar confession may be forthcoming from William Gates concerning the MS-DOS and Windows operating environments. And IBM spokesman have begun denying that the Virtual Machine (VM) product is an internal prank gone awry. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other. -Eric Hoffer When people are least sure, they are often most dogmatic. -John Kenneth Galbraith When people are starving, life is no longer meaningless. -John Gardner When people have a job to do, particularly a vital but difficult one, they will invariably put it off until the last possible moment, and most of them will put it off even longer. -Gordon L. Becker When properly administered, vacations do not diminish productivity: for every week you're away and get nothing done, there's another when your boss is away and you get twice as much done. -Daniel B. Luten When the Ngdanga tribe of West Africa hold their moon love ceremonies, the men of the tribe bang their heads on sacred trees until they get a nose bleed, which usually cures them of that. -Mike Harding, The Armchair Anarchist's Almanac When you make your mark in the world, watch out for guys with erasers. -The Wall Street Journal While the State exists, there is no freedom. When there is freedom, there is no State. -Nikolai Lenin Who says I am not under the special protection of God? -Adolf Hitler With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress. -Ransom K. Ferm Women and cats do as they dammed well please. Men and dogs had best learn to live with it. -Lazarus Long Over the past ten years, for the first time, intelligence had become socially correct for girls. -Tom Wolfe, "Bonfire of the Vanities" Wood heat is not new. It dates back to a day millions of years ago, when a group of cavemen were sitting around, watching dinosaurs rot. Suddenly, lightning struck a nearby log and set it on fire. One of the cavemen stared at the fire for a few minutes, then said: Hey! Wood heat! The other cavemen, who did not understand English, immediately beat him to death with stones. But the key discovery had been made, and from that day forward, the cavemen had all the heat they needed, although their insurance rates went way up. -Dave Barry, Postpetroleum Guzzler ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Black Box The tester has no clue as to what's going on inside. Often used by large corporations for software verification. More often NOT used by large corporations for software verification. White Box The tester knows the internals, but doesn't manipulate them directly. This is handy because the tester can avoid messy problems or functions that are likely to cause trouble. This is also know as "doing a demo" Open Box The tester directly manipulates the internals. This is handy because it allows the tester to test particular bits of code when other, important bits aren't even written yet. This is also knows as "rigging a demo" Toy Box The tester plays with the product. Often in ways in which the product was never intended to be used. The people at Underwriters Laboratories are experts at this. So is your three year old nephew. This kind of testing leads to lengthly disclaimers and warranties. Jack-in-the-Box The tester cranks on the product until something surprising happens. If nothing surprising happens, it gets marketed. If something surprising happens, it gets marketed as "new" and "improved" and the version number goes up by 0.0.1 Shoe Box The tester places the product in a dark closet or cupboard and forgets about it. Eventually, someone discovers that micro organisms have performed some astoundingly intense testing of their own. This provides the key "cleaning instructions" section of the manual. (If the product is software, this testing consists of putting the code under source management control, the software equivalent of a dark closet. The only difference is the no one will ever see it again.) Gray Box Marketing paints the product to gain a larger market share/ improve its ergonomics. This is especially interesting with magnetic media. This is also known as "platinum box" testing. Cardboard Box A rather trivial test of the packaging materials. You can tell if this step was neglected when your floppy disk arrives in a 3' shipping carton, packed in styrofoam peanuts. Strong Box Tests the physical integrity of the product. Often for military contracts, though HP does it just for the heck of it. 3 1/2 floppies were Strong Box tested, 5 1/4 floppies weren't. This test is near-impossible to perform with software, nevertheless, it is required for government contracts.

Every computer terminal in the room was lit up, the mainframe was humming comfortably, and everything looked exactly as it had when work had come to an end the night before. The only trouble was that nothing was working. Eight employees sat idly in front of their terminals, waiting for the service truck to arrive. The office manager imagined dollar bills flying out the window as she paced back and forth impatiently. At the sound of the approaching elevator, she stopped pacing. The doors slid open, and a smiling technician strolled into the office. "It's about time!" the office manager cried. "I don't know what's wrong. The mainframe is working, the terminals are on, everything seems to be hooked up properly." "Then what's the trouble?" the technician asked. "They type on the keyboards," the manager said, "and nothing shows up on the screen...nothing prints...n o t h i n g h a p p e ns!" With a little smile, the technician nodded. He walked over to the mainframe, examined the cable connections, and turned to the office manager. "Got it," he said. He turned back to the mainframe, reached toward the back of the console, and tapped the machine with the side of his hand. "It's working!" one of the employees called out. The manager grinned. "Great!" she said. "The man's a genius!" "Glad to be of service," the technician said. "That'll be six hundred dollars." The office manager stared at him in horror. "Six hundred dollars! Are you out of your mind? You were here less than thirty seconds. All you did was tap the machine. I won't pay a cent of the charge until you give me an itemized bill!" The technician pulled an invoice pad from his pocket, wrote something, tore off the page, and handed it to the office manager, saying, "Here's your itemized bill." The office manager read it aloud: Tapping the back of the console....$ 20.00 Knowing where to tap...............$580.00 ------- Total $600.00 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If you're in San Fransico, and you drop your wallet, How do you pick it up? You don't. You kick it down the street till you get home. A gay man gets in an auto accident and is pronounced basically brain dead in the hospital. One of his co-workers come to see him at the hospital, and as he walks in the room he sees a bunch of the guy's gay friend all sobbing around him. He's taken by the grief and decides to try and make them feel better, so he walks in and says, "Hey look at the bright side, he's still in the same food group at least." They all turn and give him a questioning look. He says, "You know, he was a fruit, but now he's a vegetable." Why is it so hard for women to find a man in San Fran who is kind, considerate, understanding, and not a afraid to show his feelings? Because they already have boyfriends. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ "PLEASE HELP ME!" PANTED THE SHAPELY CAREER GIRL, RUNNING INTO THE POLICE STATION."I'VE JUST BEEN RAPED BY AN IMBECILE" "HOW DO YOU KNOW HE WAS AN IMBECILE" ASKED SERGEANT VAN. "HE MUST HAVE BEEN, I HAD TO SHOW HIM WHAT TO DO" VAN WENT TO THE DOC "PLEASE INCREASE THE SIZE OF MY COCK DOC." "SURE, TAKE THESE TABLETS ONE DAILY AND AFTER TWO WEEKS YOUR SCHLUNG WILL GROW ONE INCH EVERY TIME SOMEBODY SAYS BLESS YOU" TWO WEEKS LATER VAN WALKES DOWN THE STREET AND SNEEZES "BLESS YOU" A YOUNG MAN SAID, AND SURE AS HELL IS SLUNG GREW ONE INCH. A LITTLE LATER A PASSES A ELDERLY COUPLE AND HE SNEEZES AGIAN UPON WHICH THE FRIENDLY LADY SAID "BLESS YOU A THOUSAND TIMES MY SON" THE YANK SAT NEXT TO VAN IN THE PLANE GOING FROM NY TO JHB. FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS HE TRIES TO CONVINCE VAN THAT THE YANKS ARE MUCH MORE DILIGENT THAN THE SOUTH AFRICANS, BUT VAN STAYED UNIMPRESSED. "O.K." THE YANK SAID "I'LL PROVE IT. YOU CAN ASK ME ANY QUESTION YOU CAN THINK OF, IF I CAN NOT ANSWER IT I'LL PAY YOU $500. THEN I'LL ASK YOU A QUESTION AND IF YOU CAN NOT ANSWER IT YOU PAY ME $50. YOU ASK FIRST" "O.K." VAN SAID "WHAT IS GREEN WITH YELLOW DOTS, BLACK STRIPES AND FLOATS IN THE AIR?" AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF THINKING THE YANK GAVE UP AND SAID "BEATS ME, HERES YOUR $500." AND HE GAVE VAN HIS $500. "NOW TELL ME, WHAT IS IT?" "DO'NT KNOW" VAN REPLIED "HERES YOUR $50" SO THERE WAS VAN, SPEEDING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT 180KM/H WHEN SUDDENLY A TRAFFIC COP JUMPS OUT FROM BEHIND A BUSH AND SIGNALS HIM OFF THE ROAD. AFTER THE USUAL CEREMONY THE COP STARTS TO SCRIBBLE IN HIS LITTLE BOOK: NAME, ADDRESS ETC. BUT WHEN THE COP ASKS HIS OCCUPATION VAN AN- SWERS, 'CUNT-STRETCHER'. 'CUNT-STRETCHER?', ASKS THE COP, 'THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF IT, WOULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT EXACTLY IT IS YOU DO?' 'WELL ,SAYS VAN, FIRST OF ALL I GET MYSELF A CUNT, YOU SEE, AND THEN I START STRETCHING IT. FIRST WITH TWO FINGERS, THEN I USE BOTH HANDS. WHEN ITS BIG ENOUGH I PUT IN ONE FOOT AND BOTH HANDS, THEN I USE BOTH FEET AND BOTH HANDS AND STRETCH UNTIL ITS ABOUT MY SIZE.' 'JISLAAIK, SAYS THE COP, AND WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?' 'THEN, SAYS VAN, THEN I SELL IT TO THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT WHO PUTS IT BEHIND A BUSH SOMEWHERE BESIDE A HIGHWAY TO CATCH SPEEDING CARS'. VAN WAS WALKING THROUGH THE BUSH WHEN THE FRIENDLY FAIRY STOPPED HIM AND SAID "ANY TWO WHISHES YOU HAVE WILL BE GRANTED" "I WISH I HAVE A BOTTLE OF BRANDY THAT NEVER GOES EMPTY" HE WHISHED THE NEXT MOMENT HE HAD A BOTTLE OF BRANDY IN HIS HANDS. TO TEST IT HE STARTED DRINKING. HE DRANK AND DRANK AND DRANK BUT THE BOTTLE REMAINED FULL. AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF SOLID DRINKING HE PASSED OUT. TEN MINUTES LATER THE FAIRY WOKE HIM UP AND SAID "I NOT GOING TO WAIT ANY LONGER FOR YOUR SECOND WISH, SO YOU BETTER MAKE IT NOW" HE REPLIED "I WISHS FOR ANOTHER BOTTSHEL LIKESSS STHISSS ONE." VAN KNOCKED ON THE DOOR , SEXY WOMEN OPENS THE DOOR AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE WANTED. ' HAVE YOU GOT A CUNT ?? ' VAN ASKED. ' YOU DISGUSTING BASTARD , GET LOST ' CAME THE REPLY. SO VAN LEFT. NEXT DAY SAME THING HAPPENED. THAT EVENING THE SEXY BIRD TOLD HER HUSBAND ABOUT THIS MAN ASKING HER THAT QUESTION. ' OK ' HER HUBBY SAID , 'I'LL STAY HERE TOMOROW , AND WHEN HE COMES AGAIN I'LL STAND BEHIND THE DOOR , AND YOU ASK HIM WHY HE WANTS TO KNOW. ' GREAT STUFF . NEXT DAY VAN KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AGAIN AND HE ASKED THE LADY THE SAME QUESTION WHILE THE HER HUBBY STOOD BEHIND THE DOOR. 'YES I'VE GOT ONE AND WHAT ABOUT IT? ' SHE REPLIED. VAN REPLIED 'WELL SEEING THAT YOU'VE GOT ONE, TELL YOUR FUCKING HUSBAND TO LEAVE MY WIFES CUNT ALONE ' VAN GOT MARRIED AND THE FIRST EVENING LADY VAN THOUGHT SHE WOULD PREPARE A NICE SUPPER , BUT VAN DID NOT GIVE HER TIME ENOUGH TO DO THAT - DOING YOU KNOW WHAT ALL EVENING. NEXT MORNING HE WASN'T INTERESTED IN BREAKFAST - SCREW SCREW AND MORE SCREWING. AT LUNCH TIME VAN REFUSED FOOD AGIAN IN FAVOUR OF A SCREW. THE EVENING HE ARRIVED FROM WORK - OPENED THE DOOR AND SAW HIS WIFE SLIDING DOWN THE BANISTER. 5,6,7 TIMES. 'HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING' HE ASKED. 'I'M KEEPING YOUR SUPPER HOT DARLING.' CAME THE REPLY. VAN DER MERWE STAGGERED HOME AFTER AN EVENING OF HEAVY BOOZING, AND DECIDED TO TAKE A SHORTCUT THROUGH A CATTLE KRAAL. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, HE ARRIVED AT HOME ALMOST COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOES WITH DUNG. HIS WIFE ASKED HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND OLD VAN EXPLAINED: 'YOU SHEE, I TOOK THISH SHORTCUT THROUGH A KRAAL, AND LOSHT MY CAP. IT WASH QUITE DARK, SHO ONLY ABOUT THE TENTH ONE I TRIED ON FITTED'. VAN DER MERWE IS ON HIS WAY HOME ON HIS BICYCLE, WHEN HE SEES THIS NAKED DOLL STANDING THERE, HITCHING. BECAUSE HE IS A GENTLEMAN, VAN GIVES HER A LIFT. SO THERE THEY GO, THE GIRL SITTING ON THE FRAME IN FRONT OF VAN, AND VAN PEDDALING ALONGN WHISTLING SOFTLY 'THIS LAND IS MY LAND....'. AFTER A WHILE THE DOLL SAID: 'SIR, DID YOU NOTICE THAT I AM NAKED?' WHEREBY VAN REPLIED: 'MADAM, DID YOU NOTICE THAT THIS IS A LADIES' BICYCLE?' VAN DER MERWE IS A GREAT SOUTH AFRICAN WRESTLER, AND HE HAS FINALLY RUN OUT OF OPPONENTS. ONE DAY HIS CHINESE MANAGER 'HYMIE' COMES UP TO HIM AND SAYS, 'VAN MY BOY I'M FIXING YOU UP A FIGHT WITH THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD, A RUSSIAN CALLED IVAN THE TERRIBLE' THE CHINESE MANAGER GOES OVER TO RUSSIA AND COMES BACK A WEEK LATER AND SAYS 'VAN DER MERWE WITHOUT A DOUBT YOU CAN TAKE THIS BOY, BUT I MUST WARN YOU ABOUT ONE THING...' THIS MAN, HE HAS A GRIP, SUCH A GRIP, CALLED THE PRETZEL GRIP, AND IF HE GETS YOU INTO THIS GRIP WITHOUT A DOUBT HE'S GONNA KILL YOU. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ELSE YOU DO, DON'T LET HIM GET YOU IN THE TERRIBLE PRETZEL GRIP'. THE NIGHT OF THE FIGHT FINALLY ARRIVES, AND VAN AND IVAN CLIMB INTO THE RING. THE REFEREE ANNOUNCES, 'IN THE RED CORNER, CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, WEIGHING 475 POUNDS, SIX FOOT SEVENTEEN AND A HALF INCHES, SOLID MUSCLE, IVAN THE TERRIBLE', AND THE CROWD CHEERED LIKE HELL. 'AND IN THE BLUE CORNER, VAN DER MERWE OF SOUTH AFRICA, SEVEN FOOT THIRTEEN AND A QUARTER INCHES, WEIGHING 520 POUNDS, AND SOLID FAT'. THE FIGHT STARTS AND THE FIRST FIVE ROUNDS ARE VERY EVEN WITH HYMIE CALLING THROUGH THE ROPES 'DON'T FORGET THE PRETZEL GRIP'. BUT IN THE SIXTH ROUND VAN FORGETS, AND IN FIVE SECONDS FLAT HE'S IN THE PRETZEL GRIP. THE CROWD GO WILD AND ARE SCREAMING FOR BLOOD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN VAN BREAKS FREE OF THE PRETZEL GRIP, SMASHES IVAN OVER HIS KNEE, BREAKS HIS ARM OFF, THROWS IT TO THE CROWD, KICKS HIS HEAD, RUNS HIM INTO THE ROPES AND HOLDS HIM DOWN TO BECOME THE SUDDEN WINNER OF THE FIGHT. HE IS NOW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. HIS LITTLE CHINESE MANAGER GOES WILD, 'VAN DER MERWE, VAN DER MERWE THAT WAS THE MOST FANTASTIC FIGHT I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE, WONDERFUL, BUT TELL ME HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET OUT OF THE PRETZEL GRIP ?' 'WELL', SAYS VAN DER MERWE, 'ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M IN THE PRETZEL GRIP, ALL I CAN MOVE IS ONE EYE AND MY LITTLE FINGER, ALL I CAN SEE IS THE BIGGEST PAIR OF BALLS I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE. I KNOCK THEM WITH MY LITTLE FINGER TO GET THEM SWINGING MORE AND MORE UNTIL I CAN GET THEM IN MY MOUTH. THEN I BITE THEM AS HARD AS I CAN. AAAAAND, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW STRONG A MAN CAN BE WHEN HE BITES HIS OWN BALLS. WHAT'S THE FASTEST THING ON FOUR WHEELS ? VAN DER MERWE ON A SKATEBOARD RIDING THROUGH SOWETO SINGING 'THIS LAND IS MY LAND,........' SPEEDY GONZALES AND VAN ARGUES ABOUT WHO IS THE FASTEST.THEY DECIDED TO HAVE A SCREWING CONTEST. SO THEY GOT HOLD OF TEN WOMEN AND LINED THEN UP, NAKED AND LYING DOWN. IT WAS DECIDED THAT VAN SHOULD START AT THE ONE END AND SPEEDY AT THE OTHER AND THE ONE WHO REACHES THE MIDDLE OF THE ROW FIRST IS THE WINNER. "READY GO" SPEEDY:"THANK YOU MAM,THANK YOU MAM,THANK YOU MAM,THANK YOU MAM, THANK YOU MAM,SORRY VAN!,THANK YOU MAM......" SCHOOLMARM ASKING THE KIDS IN CLASS: 'WHAT OR WHO IS THE NICEST TO YOU?' 1ST LITTLE GIRL SAID: 'MY MOMMY'. 2ND LITTLE BOY SAID: 'AN AEROPLANE'. 3RD LITTLE GIRL SAID: 'A KITTEN'. LITTLE VAN DER MERWE: 'A PREGNANT SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SCHOOLGIRL'. THE TEACHER WAS SURPRISED ALMOST OUT OF HER MIND, AND ASKED HIM WHY. 'NO, YOU SEE MA'M, LAST NIGHT MY SISTER TOLD MY FATHER THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT, SO HE SAID: ''NOW THAT IS NICE, THAT IS FUCKING NICE''.' WHAT IS THE PEAK OF CHAOS ? VAN DER MERWE WITH A BARCLAY-CARD IN A WHOREHOUSE. "DDDOCTER PPLEASE HHHELP MMME GE GE GET RRRID OF THHIS SSSSTUTTERING" VAN ASKED THE DOCTER "SURE VAN," REPLIED THE DOC. "BUT I"LL HAVE TO CUT THREE INCHES OF YOUR PENIS" "NNNN NNNN NO WWWWAY" SAID VAN AND WENT TO ANOTHER DOCTER WHERE THE SAME THING HAPPENED.WHEN HE CAME TO THE TENTH DOCTER HE DECIDED TO ALLOW THE DOC TO DO JUST THAT. "THANK YOU VERY MUCH DOCTER" SAID VAN AFTER THE OPERATION AND LEFT. A WEEK LATER HE WENT BACK TO THE DOC "PLEASE DOCTER, GIVE ME BACK MY THREE INCHES - I"D MUCH RATHER STUTTER " UPOM WHICH THE DOCTER REPLIED "SSSSORRY VVV V V VVVAN TTTTOTTOTOO LLLLATE" VAN WAS HARDUP FOR A WOMEN BUT HE ONLY HAD 5 DOLLARS WITH HIM. HE WENT TO THE LOCAL HOUSE AND AFTER A LOT OF PLEADING THE HOUSE MADAM EVENTUALLY SENT HIM UP TO ROOM 5 ON THE SECOND FLOOR. ARRIVING THERE HE FOUND A CHICKEN. BY THAT TIME HE COULDN'T CONTROL HIMSELF ANY LONGER SO HE GRABBED THE CHICKEN AND DID YOU KNOW WHAT. THE NEXT DAY HE FELT THE URGE AGAIN BUT ONLY HAD TWO DOLLARS WITH HIM.

Living in a beautiful house in a St. Paul suburb, the couple would hardly be expected to pilfer merchandise from stores. Instead, the police say, they and two of their grown children had a personal shoplifter do it. The couple, Gerald Dick, a 58-year-old dentist, and his wife, Judy, 56, of Roseville, Minn., surrendered yesterday on charges of trying to receive stolen property. Their son, James Dick, 32, also surrendered. A daughter, Stacy Zehren, a 33-year-old Chicago lawyer who is eight and a half months pregnant, has also been charged but will not have to surrender until after the baby is born, a spokesman for the County Attorney's office in Ramsey County, Minn., said. The police say the family members hired a former convict to do the stealing for them and may have received $250,000 in stolen merchandise in the last few years. The merchandise included a cashmere sweater valued at more than $2,000 and a full-length white fox fur coat. The members of the family could be fussy about the quality of their shoplifted goods, the police said. "James Dick requested lighter-colored Armani suits be stolen," the police report said. James Dick crossed the National Football League players' union picket line to play for the Minnesota Vikings in 1987. In Ramsey County District Court yesterday, Judge Richard Hopper released the three on their own recognizance and ordered them to appear on Jan. 9. They have no criminal records. A lawyer for the family, Paul Applebaum, said yesterday that he did not know how his clients would plead to the charges. "I would hope the fact that they may be upper-middle class is not something they will be punished for or made an example of," he said. The police said the Dick family had hired the shoplifting services of Gregory Eugene Thomas, a 37-year-old Minneapolis man who has served time in prison for theft. When Mr. Thomas was arrested in the Dayton's store in Roseville the day after Thanksgiving on a shoplifting charge, he told the police about the scheme and agreed to take part in a sting operation. Mr. Thomas, who told the police that the Dick family had bailed him out of jail and sent him money while he was in prison previously, went to the couple's house last Friday with a department store investigator, Carla Schrom, who posed as a Dayton's cleaning worker who could steal whatever they wanted. They presented some merchandise they said was stolen from Dayton's, including a Baccarat crystal eagle, a briefcase and three men's suits. After some haggling over price, James Dick bought the eagle and the briefcase, and said he preferred Armani suits. Judy Dick then asked Ms. Schrom to shoplift some crystal, and Ms. Zehren asked about getting some children's clothes, the police said. The police seized goods valued at $42,000 at the house.

If Jack Handy (SNL writer) married Andy Capp, then married Jack Paar, then moved on to Stephen King, he'd be Jack Handy Capp Paar King. If Javier Lopez married Keiko the whale, and Edith Piaf married Rose Tu the elephant, they would be Javier Keiko and Edith Tu. If Ivana Trump married, in succession, Orson Bean (actor), King Oscar (of Norway), Louis B. Mayer (of MGM), and Norbert Wiener (mathematician), she would then be Ivana Bean Oscar Mayer Wiener. If Woody Allen married Natalie Wood, divorced her and married Gregory Peck, divorced him and married Ben Hur, he'd be Woody Wood Peck Hur. If Dolly Parton married Tommy Smothers, then went even further back in show business and married Mr. Lucky, then divorced and married Martin Short, then divorced and married football kicker Ray Guy, we could all nod understandingly when we heard, "Dolly Parton Smothers Lucky Short Guy." And if the late Ella Fitzgerald had married Darth Vader, she'd be Ella Vader... ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ WHAT'S ON, DOC? Heard about the new TV shows for the summer season? C*A*S*H. A show about the zany antics of a madcap financial department at a hospital owned by a major health-care conglomerate. Led by Hawkeye, a talented cost accountant (his nickname comes from an uncanny ability to spot a slashable expenditure from a mile away), the series also features Radar, a bill collector with a sixth sense about where deadbeat ex-patients are hiding. Week after week the cast finds a world of wacky ways to make sure their hospital's bottom line is tops. ST. SEND-THEM-ELSEWHERE. A prime time soap that takes place in a super-ritzy private hospital that's so exclusive even emergency patients need an engraved invitation to be admitted. The show focuses on the lives and loves of the dedicated men and women who must deal every day with the stress of administering liposuction and tummy tucks to the filthy rich. TRAPPER JEAN, M.D. (A Canadian TV program featuring Jean -- as in Chretien.) The adventures of a doctor in Canada's Far North. Unable to get by on what the government pays him for his services, he's forced to moonlight as a fur trapper in order to survive. In the series pilot the fur really flies when Dr. Jean saves the life of a rich tourist, only to have her refuse to pay the bill because she turns out to be a dedicated animal rights activist. MARCUS WELLBEING, M.D. A sitcom for the '90s, about a West Coast doctor who uses the latest New Age techniques to treat his patients, including herbalism, astrology, alchemy, aura therapy and crystal power. For especially tough cases Marcus performs channelling and lets his body be taken over by Moo-la, a 10,000-year-old healer from the ninth dimension.

They are there to watch a trial that is being televised live from the downtown courtroom. A hush falls over the crowd. The prosecutor is giving his summation. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, both these men are guilty of engaging in violent acts. The one man had a set of brass knuckles and a .45 automatic. He was wearing a bullet-proof vest. He had, on his person, a knive with a sixteen inch blade, and in the trunk of his car he had an Uzi. The other man had a sawed-off shotgun and an umbrella with the tip filed down to be as sharp as a razor. He was wearing a steel helmet and he had a flamethrower strapped to his back. These two men were ready for World War III and yet they claim they are innocent victims, just acting in self-defense." His rousing words stirs the jury and they deliberate for only one hour. When they come back into the courtroom, the judge asks, "What is your verdict?" The foreman stands and says, "Guilty, Your Honor. But we, the members of the jury, would pay a hundred bucks each if you could arrange for us to see them fight."

Why doesn't ice cream have any bones? Why attack God? He's as sad about us as we are. Hard work has never killed anyone, but why take a chance? Why do I always shrug my shoulders? I have no idea. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet? Why do they call them briefings when they take so long? Ever wonder why Oprah spelled backwards is Harpo? Why can't women remember to put the seat back up? Why don't they make mouse-flavored cat food? Who is General Failure and why is he reading my disk?

However, company rules state that if the plane is full and someone needs a seat, the employee is the first to be bumped. Sure enough, the flight was full. A flight attendant stepped into the aisle and said loudly, "Gay? You have to leave. Who's Gay?" A man in front of Mr. Gay raised his hand and said, "I'm gay." Soon several people were raising their hands, until a woman stood up. In an effort to unite the panicking passengers, she shouted, "Let's stick together -- they can't make us all leave!" ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ My name is Pierre the French Fighter Pilot ========================================== Pierre, a French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie out for a pleasant little picnic by the river Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air, so Marie leans over to Pierre and says: "Pierre, kiss me!" So our hero grabs a bottle of red wine and splashes it on Marie's lips. "What are you doing, Pierre?" Shrieks Marie. "Well, my name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have red meat I like to have red wine." His answer is good enough for Marie and things begin to heat up. So she says. "Pierre, kiss me lower." Our hero rips off her blouse, grabs a bottle of white wine and starts pouring it all over her breasts. "Pierre, what are you doing?" "My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have white meat I like to have white wine!" They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up. Marie leans over once more and softly whispers into his ear: "Pierre, kiss me lower." Pierre tears off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and sprinkles it all over her bush. He grabs a match, lights it and sets her on fire. Patting the flames out furiously, Marie screams, "PIERRE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!?" "My name is Pierre the French Fighter Pilot, and when I go down, I go down in flames!" ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Rules To Be A Man 100 ways to keep your Testosterone flowing 1 Don't call, ever. 2 If you don't like a girl, don't tell her. It's more fun to let her figure it out by herself. 3 Lie. 4 Name your penis. Be sure it is something narcissistic and unoriginal, such as "spike" 5 If you lose something that belongs to someone else, tell them you mailed it to them. 6 Here's a good pickup line, "My girlfiend's pregnant, will you go out with me? 7 Drink Vernors. 8 Play with yourself. Talk about it. 9 Be as ambiguous as possible. If you don't want to answer, a nice grunt will do. 10 Always remember: You are a man. Therefore, no matter what, it isn't your fault. 11 Lie. 12 Girls find it attractive if a man has had more women than baths. 13 Never ask for help. Even if you really, really need help- don't ask. People will think you have no penis. 14 Women like it when you ignore them. It arouses them. 15 Vanity is the most important trait for a man to have. Whenever you pass a reflective surface, check you hair, clothing, etc. 16 If you don't like a girl, but can't think of a good enough reason why, just come up with trite, meaningless explanations like, "I don't know. I just don't like her personality." 17 If, GOD FORBID, you have to talk to a girl on the phone, use only monosyllabic words and noises. Bodily noises are permissible. 18 TWO WORDS: Hack and spit. 19 Everyone finds a man more attractive if he can write his name with urine. 20 One sure way to make a girl like you is to go after her best friend. She will then see what she's missing and love you for not giving up on her. 21 Tell her you will call. Then, refer back to rule #1. 22 Say things like "Wha...?" 23 Don't wear matching clothes. People will think your girlfriend picked it out, and it will cramp your style on picking up chicks. 24 Lie. 25 Deny everthing. Everything. 26 Good break up line, "It's not you, it's me." 27 If you like a girl, tell all your female friends about her. Because if any of your female friends like you, they'll really want to know. 28 Don't have a clue. 29 If you get a clue, pretend you didn't and disregard it. 30 No means yes. 31 Yes means no. 32 If you don't get sex whenever you want, your balls will shrivel. Enforce this rule at all times. 33 If anyone asks, you have had sex in all possible positions and locations. Improvise. 34 Much like an orgasm signifies the end of a sexual peak, sex often signifies the end of a relationship. 35 Feelings? What feelings? 36 Tell this to your girl before you have sex, "Don't worry. If you don't have an orgasm, you won't get pregnant." 37 Life is one big competition. If someone is better than you at anything, either pretend it's not true or kick some ass. 38 Gays are an unacceptable part of our society. Take it upon yourself to personally eradicate all of them from the planet. 39 DO NOT make decisions about relationships. If you are backed into a corner and must make a decision, stall. If you still must come up with an answer, leave yourself a loophole for escape. Example: Question: "Honey, will you take me out for a romantic dinner?" Answer: "Yes, if you can guess how many sperm I produce each day." 40 Every sentence that anyone says can be contorted to have sexual meaning. 41 At any given opportunity, point out how things look like various genitalia. If, by chance, you have Play-Doh, make sure you make an exact replica of your penis. Measure to make sure it's right. 42 Lie. 43 "Love" is not in your vocabulary. don't even think about saying it. 44 A general rule: If whatever you're doing does not satisfy you completely in 5 minutes, it's really not worth it. 45 Diss your girlfirend. Beg and plead until you get her back. Diss her again. Repeat cycle. 46 Lie. 47 ALWAYS apologize. NEVER mean it. 48 If you hurt someone, pretend you care. Don't. 49 Try to have a good memory, but it's OK if you forget trivial things. You know, like your girlfriend's b-day and eye color. 50 Ignorance solves problems. If you can't see them, they can't see you. 51 It is never your duty to take responsibility for your actions. 52 Create new words and phrases to describe genetalia, sex, semen, etc. 53 Complain about not getting any mail. When people FINALLY feel sorry or you and send you mail, ignore it and continue complaining. 54 Lie. 55 Play with your food only if you are in a public place with people you don't know. 56 Play with your penis only if you are in a public place with people you don't know. 57 If people express extreme disgust at whatever you are doing, DON'T STOP! This is the desired reaction. 58 You are NOT a virgin. Ever. Males are born without virginity. 59 You are male, therefore you are superior. 60 Agenda for a boring evening: Get beer. Drink beer. Play with yourself. Have sex. Drink more beer. Pass out. 61 Females do not care what you do to them as long as they get to please you. 62 Don't ever notice anything. 63 If you're going out with someone but you love someone else, don't say anything. Wait until the girl you are going out with falls in love with YOU, and then tell her. 64 Basic fundamental rule of dating: Quantity, not quality. 65 Basic fundamental rule of sex: Quantity IS quality. 66 Lie. 67 If you cheat on a girl, but no one finds out, then technically you've done nothing wrong. 68 Crying is not manly. Then again, if you are a man, what do you have to cry about, anyway? 69 If the question begins with "why," the answer is "I don't know." 70 Women are your napkins. Use them, and throw them away. 71 Remember, Every virgin girl is saving herself for YOU. 72 If you ever find yourself in a position where you have been proven wrong, blame others. Come up with creative and believable excuses why they are at fault- not you. 73 Don't ever let anyone say "I told you so." If you hear this phrase and it didn't come out of your mouth, go ballistic. 74 If your woman makes you go shopping with her, drive around until a parking spot right near the door opens up. If this takes hours, so be it. You will have the coveted "door spot" and others will worship your skills. 75 Keep track of how many seconds in your life you have thought about sex. Compare with others. 76 Other peoples' pain is strictly for your amusement. Laugh long and loud. 77 Lie. 78 General Rule: Different is BAD. 79 If anyone asks you for a favor- a) make a big deal about how hard it is for you to do it, b) remind them of this huge favor you've done for them at least every 5 minutes for the rest of their life. 80 Each penny you save will be worth at least a dollar in the long run. 81 If you do something really mean to a girl, and she doesn't want to talk to you, pretend nothing happened. If she still doesn't talk to you, casually ask, "is something wrong?" 82 Three words: Let's be friends. Translation: I never want to speak to you again, but it's bad for my nice-guy image if you are mad at me, so I'll pretend I want to be your friend. 83 Lie. 84 If you're on a date, and there is a lull in the conversation, tell the girl how many different dorms you've been laid in. 85 When you tell a girl about your past, it's good to say, "God, I was such a pimp back then." 86 Here's a good trick. Tell a girl that you're going to leave and when you come back, you want her naked, sprawled on the bed. Leave,and go into her dad's room and tell him he should go check on his daughter. Then drive like hell. (true story.) 87 If a girl breaks up with you because you're in love with someone else, she has no right to be upset. Because, you know, SHE's the one who wanted to end the relationship. 88 The best sex position is you, lying face up... and twenty girls on top. 89 Practice your blank stare. 90 Spend your spare time thinking of excuses and shove them up your ass. Then, whenever you need one, you can pull it out of your ass. 91 If you ever forced to show emotion, just pick random emotions like rage and lust and insanity and display them at random, inconvenient times. You don't be asked to do it again. 92 If you are asked to do something you REALLY DON'T want to do, first try your manly best to get out of it. If that doesn't work, go ahead and do what you were asked to do, but complain that you don't know how to do it and continuously ask questions on how to do each little part. If no one rushes in to do it for you YET, finish the job in the most half-assed way you possibly can and then say, "SEE?? I TOLD you I couldn't do it." Eventually, people will stop asking you to do things. 93 Work out day and night to make your body even more beautiful than it already is. When people ask if you've been working out, say things like, "No, baby, I was BORN like this!" 94 Do not listen to "pussy music" such as Erasure, Color Me Badd, or Oldies. 95 Beer. Then more beer. 96 Scratch your balls. See if you can embarrass people. 97 One word: FOOTBALL! 98 Real men beat up others who are inferior. I mean, we don't want the inferior of the species to get to reproduce ever, do we??? 99 Diss your girl friends for an occasional night or 5 out with "The Gang". 100 LIE.

Someone uses your tongue for a coaster. You start kissing the portraits on the wall. You see your underwear hanging from the chandelier. You have to hold on to the floor to keep from sliding off. You strike a match and light your nose. You take off your shoes and wade in the potato salad. You hear some one say, "Call a priest!" You hear a duck quacking and it's you. You complain about the small bathroom after emerging from the closet. You refill your glass from the fish bowl. You tell everone you have to go home... and the party's at your place. You ask for another ice cube and put it in your pocket. You yawn at the biggest bore in the room... and realize you're in front of the hall mirror. You pick up a roll, and butter your watch. You suggest everyone stand and sing the national budget. You're at the dinner table and you ask the hostess to pass a bedpan. You take out your handkerchief and blow your ear. You tell your best joke to the rubber plant. You realize you're the only one under the coffee table.
