He happens to see a copy of an exam sitting on the desk so he picks it up to look at it. Upon deciding that it looks familiar he comments to the professor that it is the same exam that he had taken 10 years ago. The professor assures him that this is correct but adds that this time the answers are different. What did Mickey Mouse get for Christmas? A Dan Quayle watch. Guy walks into a restaurant. Orders eggs. The waitress asks "How would you like those eggs cooked?" The guy says "Hey, that would be great." I never did understand why it was supposed to be MEN that were responsible for the keeping of the toilet seat! Some women consistently complain (note the SOME) when men leave the seat up, and also complain when men don't put the seat up to begin with. Now I find the second disgusting, no one wants to sit on a wet toilet seat. But if the last person in the bathroom was female, the men are expected to lift the seat. OK, I didn't post this last time it came around, but here is the sign I have in my bathroom. As an historical note, I left a military sub-contractor (which is why the notice is cast in Milspeak) and lived for 3 weeks with a friend of the female persuasion, who constantly got on my case to keep the seat down. I vowed revenge when I got my own apartment, so ---------------------------------------- NOTICE TO USERS The Water Closet Site Administrator (WCSITADMIN) for this commode equipment unit has elected a Most Recently Used (MRU) protocol with regard to the seat placement for the equipments at this site. All users are requested to make determination as to their gender and intended use before attempting to use these equipments. Users should then determine the desired seat placement, based on this information, and chart 1, attached. Having made this deter- mination, users should compare the actual seat placement, as determined by direct observation, with the desired seat placement determined above, and take the appropriate action, based on chart 2, attached. It should be noted that the MRU protocol confers the following advantages vice the more commonly attempted INTHAMITH protocol: Worst-case turn-around is improved, as in no case are two seat-adjustments required. Worst-case throughput is improved, for above reasons. Average-case throughput (random gender and use) is improved, as no compensating adjustments are performed. Average-case throughput as measured is improved due to uneven gender distribution among users of a given equipment. Wear and tear on the adjustment mechanism is reduced, yielding a greater MTBF. User feedback is immediate and automatic, yielding a higher compliance rate. Comments should be addressed to the WCSITADMIN. Announcing badnews*, a realistic approach to Usenet. Why badnews? The news software currently in use freely mixes policy with mechanism and actually creates obtacles for its user community. In practice, this inhibits no one and merely results in frustration which, as has been clinically proved, leads to aggression. The time has come to give users what they really want. Badnews fixes the following bugs in previous news software: 1) Due to a bug, previous news read/post programs limited the 'cancel' command to the users own postings. Badnews fixes this problem. 2) Previous signatures were limited to 4 lines. Badnews supports arbitrarily large signatures. If your signature is too small, badnews will pad it with such cute sayings as "flames >/dev/null" and the like. 3) Previous software insisted that followup additions be longer than included text. In this interim release, badnews fixes this restriction by automatically generating extra lines of cute sayings like "inews fodder". 4) To avoid wasting bandwidth caused by articles failing to reach their intended target, badnews will refuse to post articles not crossposted to at least 4 newsgroups. 5) Due to a design error, previous news software actually discouraged thoughtful postings and selected for ego-maniacs and one-true-wayists by trying to intimidate the poster asking if they "really wanted to do this". Badnews will be more supportive and say "Thank you for sharing." 6) Current software encourages a bandwidth wasting redundancy by requiring a 'Subject:' line when the actual subject (if any) can always be inferred from the article itself. Badnews eliminates this redundancy by automatically generating a contentless or irrelevant 'Subject:' such as "Help needed", "Posting", or "This line intentionally left blank". New commands available: 1) The 'Sue' command automatically initiates a lawsuit against the author of the currently read message. 2) The 'Expand' command automatically decrypts many common abbreviations which may appear in the currently read message, such as: IMHO, PC, SO, BTW, MOTAS, BMW, MES 3) The 'Suicide' command automatically deposits the users name in other users' kill files. In this interim release, this command is limited to adding your name to Ted Kaldis's kill file. 4) The 'Notify' command contacts powerful people associated with the currently read message. Current options include: notify employer, notify sysadmin, and notify the press. 5) The 'Sexchange' command automatically switches the genders in the message currently being read. The interim release limits this function to two genders. New posting aids: Many postings are actually the same or similar to messages sent before. In order to make such duplication easier, Badnews provides automatic posting on common topics selected from a menu. Menus currently available will cover 1) Hoaxes/urban legends 2) Requests for money 3) Jokes about strings 4) Commonly asked questions (e.g. How do I get my current directory to print out in my prompt?) 5) A SERIOUS DILEMMA FOR THE NET 6) Appropriate flames to respond to the user using 1-5 above 7) Appropriate counter flame to respond to user using 6 above Future enhancements will include: 1) Kill with prejudice which will notify via mail (with appropriate nasty epithets) the author of any article being killed. 2) Kill by gender, ethnic group, political slant 3) Auto-forge to fake the header of real or non-existent persons. 4) The 'Pull' command to pull another user's net account. 5) Kill with extreme prejudice, to actually terminate the life of a user. 6) Starwars, to build a shield to protect oneself from 1-5 above.

The madam was crestfallen. "Sorry fellows, all the girls are busy... No one left but me." "Gee, we spent most of the evening getting rid of our wives and we're leaving tomorrow, isn't there anything you can do?" "Well there's always me, I give specials..." The first guy decided he'd go for it and when he came back downstairs he had a grin ear to ear. "How was it? How much was it?" "It was great! I got the $25 special. She has this can of Readi-Whip and she sprays it all around and then licks it off, great!" The second fellow doesn't hesitate, bolts up the stairs and is back after a while, grinning like the first. "How was it? How much was it?" "It was super! I got the $50 special. Same as Jack, the Readi-Whip, but she had some chopped walnuts that she sprinkled on it. Nibbled off the walnuts and licked off the Readi-Whip, faantaaastic!" The third could not be constrained, he raced up the stairs and came back shortly thereafter, chin between his knees. "Gosh! What happened? What went wrong?" "Well, I got the $75 special, kinda like what you guys got but she starts with a pineapple ring. Then there's the Readi-Whip, the chopped walnuts, but she's got some chocolate sprikles and a cherry she puts on top. Damn! it looked so good I ate it myself..." One day an older fella was in for a checkup. After his examination, his doctor was amazed. "Holy cow! Mr. Edwards, I must say that you are in the greatest shape of any 64 year old I have ever examined!" "Did I say I was 64?" "Well, no, did I read your chart wrong?" "Damn straight you did! I'm 85!" "85!! Unbelievable! You would be in great shape if you were 25! How old was your father when he died?" "Did I say he was dead?" "You mean..." "Damn straight! He's 106 and going strong!" "My Lord! What a healthy family you must come from! How long did your grandfather live?" "Did I say he was dead?" "No! You can't mean..." "Damn straight! He's 126, and getting married next week!" "126! Truly amazing, Mr. Edwards. But gee, I wouldn't think a man would want to get married at that age!" "Did I say he _wanted_ to get married?..."

A parrot fancier who happened into a London pet shop noticed a particularly colorful bird and asked its price. "Five thousand pounds," the shop owner replied. "Five thousand pounds?" the man asked. "Why so much?" "Well, this bird speaks fluent Italian, Spanish and French, is brushing up on his German and starting to study English," came the reply. "With the European Community's unicifation due in 1992, he'll be a great asset." "I don't care about the Common Market," the parrot fancier said. "What about that gray one in that other cage?" The gray one was 15,000 pounds, he was told, because the bird spoke Arabic, Chinese, and Korean and was learning Japanese -- "the languages of the 21st century." "I'm too old to worry about the 21st century," the frustrated parrot lover replied. "What about that mangy brown one up on that perch in the corner?" The brown one, said the shopkeeper, was 25,000 pounds. "Twenty-five thousand pounds!" exclaimed the customer. "What does he do to worth that?" "We're not sure," the pet-shop owner replied. "But the other two call him chairman."

The people in the village were extremely conservative. No one talked about sex. Newlyweds had to figure out how to do such business on their own because no one ever talked about it in their lifetime. A mischievous couple decided to pull a practical joke on a pair of people getting married. The man pulled the groom-to-be aside and talked to him privately: "I know it is not appropriate to talk to you about sex life. But you are getting married soon, I don't want you to get hurt." "What is it? What is it? Let me know," the ignorant groom eagerly asked. The man first told him what sex was all about. And he said, "But ... , you have to be careful. Some women grow teeth in their 'private place'. Some poor men have lost their valuable body part to these ruthless jaws." "How should I find out? What should I do on the first night?" "Fear not, young man. Let me tell you what to do. Don't take any risks. On the first night, test her first with your knee." The woman also talked to the bride-to-be in private: "You are getting married soon. I cannot resist warning you..." The bride also eagerly asked for advice. The woman first explained to her what would happen in bed the first night, then she said, "Some men have a HUGE life-threatening penis. If you have sex with this type of man, you may not survive." "Oh, please help me. What should I do?" The bride was scared. "Well, let me tell you what I did on my first night," she lied. "I sharpened my finger nails and put my hand in front of my vulnerable spot, and grabbed anything that approached." In the wedding night, the shy newlywed slipped into bed in pitch darkness. Moments later, both screamed in horror. ... And they slept separately ever after. This week is a perfect opportunity to find out the true age of those individuals who are always evasive on the point. Just ask them what they were doing when they heard about president Kennedy's assassination! They will be telling you long before they realise that you can add 25 to what you can easily surmise to be their age at the time of the said activity. This man had a parrot. This parrot knew only one sentence, which was "Let's make love." The parrot said it all the time, embarassing the owner to no end. Finally, He went to his parish preist and told him of his parrot problem. The priest repleid, "I have a parrot who also only knows one sentence. He always says, 'Let us pray.' Bring your parrot over Sunday after mass, and I'm sure your parrot will be praying by the end of the day." So, as directed, The owner brought the parrot over to the rectory after mass. The parrot, spying the priests parrot, opened his mouth and blurted out "Let's make Love." The priest's parrot closed his eyes, looked up at heaven and said, "my prayers have been answered." Through some cosmic fluke, Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev all died on the same day. Off they went to the gates of Heaven. Peter, seeing that these were all VIPs, sent them straight off to the Almighty. God, sitting on his throne, called up Reagan. "Ronald, my son, what have you to say for yourself?" "I tried to improve the US economy", replied Reagan, "and I did my best to benefit the nation." "Very well, my son, come up and sit beside me at my right hand." And so Reagan sat at his right. God then called up Gorbachev. "Mikhail, my son, what have you to say for yourself?" "I tried to make Soviet society more open", replied Gorbachev, "and I did my best to improve the Soviet economy." "Very well, my son, come up and sit beside me at my left hand." And so Gorbachev sat at his left. God then called up Thatcher. "Margaret, my daughter, what have you to say for yourself?" "Only two things", replied Thatcher. "First of all, I'm not your daughter. Secondly, get out of my chair!" I have been subjected to the biases and special pleadings of the artsy-fartsy culture vultures long enough. They sneer at anything which isn't in their own mold (mould?) of avante-gardishness. They perpetuate stupid jokes by laughing at people who quite seriously say, "I may not know much about.... but I know what I like." It is time for the rest of us to revolt against this claptrap of self-indulgent behaviour which passes itself off as "the actualization of one's self potential," and which somehow has unfortunately [in Canuckland, at least] bedeviled enough politicians that fully 65.7% of our tax dollars go to supporting these alleged artistes through direct grants and purchases of junk that any sensible person would pay someone else to haul off to the municipal landfill site. It is time for a new organization to be formed to aid this revolution. To that end, I hereby announce the formation of The P.L.O. The Philistine Liberation Organization welcomes as new members anyone who supports this cause. The basic tenets of the PLO are divided into two general categories: things we like and things we don't like. An overall score of 80% qualifies you for membership. Things we like: 1. Montovani's music - great stuff, easy listening. 2. McDonald's burgers - great taste, fast service, ok price. 3. Vinyl instead of leather for gloves, clothing, upholstery, etc. - cheaper, requires less care, more durable. 4. Canadian wine - good high for the buck. 5. Shopping at K-mart - hey, they got some good stuff there, ya know. 6. Commodore 64s - good games and they're real computers, too. 7. Shopping Mall landscape art - ain't it amazing how real that stuff looks. 8. Barry Manilow's songs - they capture the true meaning of life. 9. Hockey Night in Canada, Monday Night ____ball, etc. - great entertainment. 10. "If I have to go to a 'concert', I hope they play some marches - you know, something I can hum along with and tap my feet to." Things we don't like: 1. Real flowers - they wilt and need care - plastic's much better. 2. BMW's, Mercedes, etc. - I'll take an Econoline any day. 3. Gourmet food - so little food, such bad tastes, such high prices! 4. 100% wool or cotton - they require too much and too costly care - give me polyester or acrylic any day. 5. Symphony orchestra concerts - especially playing 20th century music. 6. Real wood furniture - vinyl laminate is easier to care for and harder to damage. 7. Birkenstock Sandals - footware of the truly effete snobs. 8. "Serious" drama - hey, for $25 it had better make me laugh a lot. 9. Pictures that aren't pictures of anything. 10. "Cocktail" parties that serve only Perrier and vegetables. Want to join the P.L.O.? ok, you're probably already a member then. Want to add to the tenets? E-mail your suggestions to me, and I'll keep a list. On the subject of interns examining overweight women, the symptoms of pregnancy are often masked by obesity. The brother-in-law of a friend told me the first part of this story; my cousin told me the second. Both are now doctors, and both assured me that the stories are true. In attempting to do a vaginal/cervical exam on a very overweight woman the intern could not make room to do his work. He finally enlisted the aid of two orderlies who wrapped the woman's legs in sheets and pulled them apart. Still not having enough room, the intern pushed a chair between her legs and made his diagnosis: "You're pregnant," he said. "But how you got that way without two sheets and a chair is beyond me." After making a similar comment, my cousin was informed by the patient, "You're not the first short-dick white boy to tell me that." In our image processing lab we recently had a chance to digitize and then re-view some of the Presidential campaign speeches. Of particular interest was George Bush's famous "Read my lips, No New Taxes" speech. We hired a speech specialist and showed the tape to her over and over several times. Not only was the tape played back slowly, but we performed a zoom operation on the (now) President's face. As she read his face for clues, it became painfully obvious to her that George Bush was saying -- "Read my lips, No Nude Taxes". With this subjective information, we called the White House for an explanation. Reluctantly the White House Staff admitted that yes, that was correct - "The President planned to clothe new taxes as user fees". I heard this on National Public Radio this morning: A letter from a listener, in regards to a story about the minimum wage proposals said: "George Bush should be paid the $4.25/hour minimum wage he proposes and Dan Quayle should get the lower training wage." Speaking for the whole company, Mr. Sizya Lubuva of Kinondomi, Dar es Salaam, said: "A number of us were having a conference about the future of the village as a tourist center when Mr. Nuugu Tabara said he would climb up the palm under which we were sitting to get some coconut milk for us. No sooner had he climbed the tree, than he was attacked by a huge Indian crow and fell down onto the roof of Mr. Malinjoo's Ford Fiesta. There is no truth to the suggestion that we were boozing away our time on komoni, although I agree coconut milk is one its ingredients. Everyone knows how dangerous those crows are. They will snatch food off your plate, and last week they stole three bedsheets and a loudspeaker from my sister's house." -- Daily News (Tanzania), February 24, 1989 When I was in London several months ago, I was staying in a hotel that is well known for its great service. Anyway, we got back from the theater one night at around 12:30 AM, and we decided to call for a little tea and apple pie. So anyay, we phoned down for it, and an hour passed and it still had not come. I phoned down again and asked when the apple pie might be here. The response was: "Oh, we beg your pardon sir, it's just leaving the kitchen now. It should be up to your room momentarily." To that, I asked, "But I ordered it an hour ago. What took so long? What were you doing, baking it?" "Yes, sir." I put the phone down. [Background: Stephen Rice, a Seattle man, is charged with shooting at the windows of a local Exxon station. Jonathan Love is the prosecutor for the case] (From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, page B1, Wednesday, April 19th:) Love requested bail be set at $5000 pending arraignment tomorrow and expressed concerns about the release of Rice. "The defendant stated he would continue to shoot at Exxon stations until they did something in Alaska about the oil spill," Love told the court. "At the rate Exxon is progressing, it is best that Mr. Rice remain in jail." I heard this one a few years ago in East Germany..... Erich Honnecker (the president of East Germany) was invited to Moscow by Gorbachev for a visit. After weeks of preparation by Gorby, Honnecker arrives in Moscow. As part of of celebration activities, there is a big parade through the streets of Moscow. While the two are watching the parade, Gorbachev takes a small boy aside and asks him, "Who is your mother?" The child repiles, "Mother Russia." "And who is your father?", asks Gorbachev. The boy answers, "Why, its you Uncle Gorbachev!". Finally Gorbachev asks the boy, "and what do you want to be when you grow up?". The boy proudly replies, "a good communist!". Erich Honnecker, meanwhile, has been watching this and is very impressed. So impressed, that he decides to invite Gorbachev to [East] Berlin for a visit. Again, after weeks of preparation, Gorbachev's plane lands in Berlin. And again, part of the celebration includes a parade. Remembering what Gorbachev did in Moscow, Honnecker repeats the scene: He asks a little boy in the crowd, "Who is your mother?" The child replies "the GDR [German Democratic Republic--East Germany]." "And who is your father?", asks Honnecker. "Why, its you Uncle Honnecker!", replies the child. "And what do you want to be when you grow up?" queries Honnecker. Without hesitation, the boy replies "an orphan." I heard the following many years ago from a friend who heard it in person at a public lecture by the famous C. Northcote Parkinson at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Since this is second-hand (and from memory), it may not be an exact quote but is close enough. The original delivery almost brought the house down, as the cliche' goes. Government's handling of a difficult matter by appointing a Commission of Enquiry is just like a person going to the toilet -- there is a sitting, a report, and then the matter is dropped! Seems a mute was walking down the street one day and chanced upon a friend of his (also a mute). In sign language, he inquired how his friend had been doing. The friend replied (vocally!) "Oh, can that hand-waving shit. I can talk now." Intrigued, the mute pressed him for details. Seems he had gone to a specialist, who, seeing no physical damage, had put him on a treatment program that had restored the use of his vocal chords. Gesturing wildly, the mute asked if he might meet this specialist. They got an appointment that very afternoon. After an exam, the specialist proclaimed that there was no permanent damage, that the mute was essentially in the same condition as his buddy, and that there was no reason why he couldn't be helped as well. "Yes, yes" signed the mute. "Let's have the first treatment right now!" "Very well," replies the specialist. "Kindly go into the next room, drop your pants and lean over the examining table. I'll be right in." The muts does as instructed, and the doctor sneaks in with a broomstick, mallet and jar of Vaseline. Greasing the broom handle, he "sends it home" with a few deft swipes of the mallet. The mute jumps from the table, screaming "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" "VERY good," smiles the doctor. "Next Tuesday, we start with 'B'" One very cold night, a young man dropped into the local brothel and the madam said, "You'll have to wait." "But there's lots of girls that aren't busy right now." "Yes, but several of the rooms are closed for repairs." "Listen, I'm pretty desparate. I don't need a room." So she takes his money and he goes upstairs with one of the staff and, after looking for a place to consummate the transaction, they decide to do it on the roof. But it's a very cold night, and they freeze to death and fall to the sidewalk. A passing drunk looks them over, staggers to the door, and knocks. "Go away!" says the madam. "We don't allow drunks in here!" "I don't want in," says the drunk. "I just wanted to tell you that your sign fell down." An engineer, a physicist and a mathematicians have to build a fence around a flock of sheep, using as little material as possible. The engineer forms the flock into a circular shape and constructs a fence around it. The physicist builds a fence with an infinite diameter and pulls it together until it fits around the flock. The mathematicians thinks for a while, then builds a fence around himself and defines himself as being outside. This was printed in the San Francisco Examiner, April 16, 1989. The poet is anonymous because, to quote the IRS spokesman, "anything that's sent to the IRS is classified as confidential". -Karen I think that I shall never see a tax form plain e-nough for me. A form that I can understand without a lawyer near at hand to guide this poor benighted me so I won't owe a pen-al-ty. A form that I will not detest or take as more than awful jest. A form with pages I can read and fill out ea-si-ly with speed. Such forms weren't made for fools like me Nor even God, who made a tree. It's the first time that father is giving baby Jan a bath.

In a jury trial in Battleford, Sask., a few decades back, a farmer was charged with bestiality after he became amorous with one of his cows. The chief Crown witness, the hired man, testified that he saw his boss place a milk stool behind the cow, then stand on the stool and take liberties with the cow. Moments later, the witness said, the cow kicked over the stool and the farmer fell to the floor of the barn. Upon hearing this, a farmer in the jury box slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "They'll do that every time!"

(and it has come in from other sources -ed) A Zen teacher saw five of his students returning from the market, riding their bicycles. When they arrived at the monastary and had dis- mounted, the teacher asked the students, "Why are you riding your bicycles?" The first student replied, "The bicycle is carrying the sack of potatoes. I am glad that I do not have to carry them on my back!" The teacher praised the first student, "You are a smart boy! When you grow old, you will not walk hunched over like I do." The second student replied, "I love to watch the trees and fields pass by as I roll down the path!" The teacher commended the second student, "Your eyes are open, and you see the world." The third student replied, "When I ride my bicycle, I am content to chant nam myoho renge kyo." The teacher gave praise to the third stu- dent, "Your mind will roll with the ease of a newly trued wheel." The fourth student replied, "Riding my bicycle, I live in harmony with all sentient beings." The teacher was pleased, and said to the fourth student, "You are riding on the golden path of non-harming." The fifth student replied, "I ride my bicycle to ride my bicycle." The teacher sat at the feet of the fifth student and said, "I am your student!" One night, Erich Honnecker was in the bedchamber having some pillow talk with his mistress. He was in a magnanimous mood and offered her a present of her choice. She thought about his offer for a moment and then replied, "Oh, Erich, if there is one thing I would like you to do for me, it is this: open the borders just for one day." Honnecker said, "Of course, my dear," but was a bit puzzled by her request. He asked, "But why would you have me do such a thing?" The mistress replied, "I want to be alone with you." Computer Charged with Murder After Frying Chess Champ by Ragan Dunn A Soviet super-computer has been ordered to stand trial for the murder of chess champion Nikolai Gudkov -- who was electorcuted when he touched the metal board that he and the machine were playing on! "This was no accident -- it was cold-blooded murder," Soviet police investigator Alexei Shainev told reporters in Moscow. "Niko Gudkov won three straight games and the computer couldn't stand it. When the chess master reached for his knight to begin play in the fourth game, the computer sent a lethal surge of electricity to the board surface. The computer had been programmed to move its chess pieces by producing a low-level electric current. "Gudkov was electrocuted while a gallery of hundreds watched." The decision to put the computer on trial stunned legal experts around the world. [I hope computer experts are also shocked, so to speak. --spaf] But the Soviets are convinced that the computer had the pride and intelligence to develop a hatred for Gudkov -- and the motive and means to kill him. The mind-boggling murder drama unfolded during a six-day chess marathon between the M2-11 supercomputer and Gudkov, a world class chess player. According to reports, Gudkov defied all odds [Calculated by the same supercomputer, no doubt. --spaf] and beat the machine in three consecutive games. And when they prepared to begin their forth, a deadly dose of electricity flowed up into the electronic board and zapped Gudkov dead. Soviet authorities initially thought that the surge of electricity was caused by a short-circuit. But an examination of the computer revealed no problems. It was later determined that the machine diverted the flow of electricity from its brain to the chess board to ensure a victory over Gudkov. [This implies that Soviet semiconductors work at voltages of a few hundred volts, or maybe their supercomputers are tube-based? --spaf] "The computer was programmed to win at chess and when it couldn't do that legitimately, it killed its opponent," said investigator Shalnev. "It might sound ridiculous to bring a machine to trial for murder. [!!] But a machine that can solve problems and think [sic] faster than any human must be held accountable for its actions." Rudi Hagemann, the Swiss legal scholar, agreed with the Soviet cop. He said that the development of artificial intelligence has come so far in recent years that certain computers and some robots "must be considered human." It isn't clear how the Soviets will punish the computer if it is found guilty when it goes to court this spring. [Send it to a Gulag for reprogramming? --spaf] But Hagermann says the machine will probably be reprogrammed or dismantled altogether. A duck walks into a pharmacy waddles up to the prescription counter and rings the bell. The pharmacist walks up and asks, "Can I help you?". The duck relplies, "Yes, I would like a box of condoms". "Why certainly", says the pharmacist, "will that be cash or would you like me to put it on your bill?". The duck answers, "What kind of duck do you think I am?" "Soviet lotto jackpot features toilet paper" (various sources) MOSCOW - A lottery in the Ukranian city of Stakhanov didn't top the $115 million jackpot offered last week in Pennsylvania, but the winners seemed happy with their prizes: rolls of toilet paper. The newspaper "Literary Gazette told the story of Ira, a girl who bought three tickets and walked away with several rolls of toilet paper, a towel and a small bowl. The lottery tickets cost 50 kopeks - about 81 cents - more than the actual price of mant of the prizes. "But don't forget that there are great shortages," Wednesday's article read. "In the city of Stakhanov, except for the lottery, one cannot get these goods." Other lucky ticket holders in Stakhanov won hens, pigs, goats, detergent, and bath soap. A U.S. Army survival manual tells how a stranded serviceman should deal with the inhabitants of wherever he is: "Be respectful of their personal property, especially their women." Comment on the Ayatollah's funeral in Tehran (wherein the corpse of the dead religious leader was apparently tossed to the ground by frenzied mourners trying to get a piece of his burial shroud to keep as a relic: "It was a dignified affair, by Iranian standards." (from Steve Hanson, DJ on Pittsburgh's WMYG) Q: What's the differnce between an Iranian funeral and an English soccer match? A: They sell beer at an English soccer match. I wrote this letter many years ago: Pennsylvania State University Admissions Address Dear Sir, I have received your acceptance for admission, and I regret to inform you that I will not be attending your university in coming years. As a senior in high school, I have applied to many other fine institutions to further my education. And, although yours ranks high among them, I'm afraid that you failed to qualify. Elimination under my system doesn't mean that you are not qualified to educate other fine young men and women. It merely reflects the high caliber of colleges and universities competing for my acceptance. My best wishes for your future. Sincerely, Brian Jay Gould According to several press reports, the new drug of choice is licking toads. What a great lead!! Yes, Bufo Alvirus (Sonoran desert toad to you simple folk) secretes (a sweating toad?) bufotinine which doesn't do damn for the toad, but makes humans feel very high indeed. Says the Examiner story: "If you tried to lick this toad, it would be a felonious act." No report to date mentions what the toad turns into when you lick it. Why not milk the toads and mix the stuff with something nice? The head of DEA's western regional laboratory is not concerned: "It's too nasty to screw around with," he said. "And you're going to have to come up with a lot of toads to compete with cocaine and marijuana." The Berkeley police chief was suspicious because he knew of no occurence of bufotinine use in Berkeley: "If it happened anywhere, it'd be here," he said. A young lady had unwantedly become pregnant and wanted an abortion. Unfortunately, a medical examination showed she could not and when told so by her doctor she broke down and cried. "I can't have a baby now...", she said, "There must be something you can do!". The doctor thought about this for a while, and suddenly he came up with an idea: "There is bound to be someone in this hospital in for an appendix operation when you give birth, and we'll just give her the baby and tell her it wasn't the appendix after all." The young lady agreed to his plan, but at the time she was giving birth there were no women in for appendix operation in the hospital, in fact the only person who was was an old priest. The doctor, desperately realizing the gravity or the situation and his promise figured he might as well try anyway. The priest was overwhelmed. Convinced this was an immaculate conception he took his little son home. The years passed and his son grew to become a fine boy. The priest was getting old, and finally he he called his son to his deathbed. "There is something I have to tell you", said the priest, "I am not your father". His son looked at him in surprise. The priest went on; "I am your mother, the bishop is your father". SYDNEY, Australia (NB) -- A friend of Newsbytes swears that the following is a true story: After buying a PC from a dealer of shady shady repute, the luckless customer unpacked his new toy and plugged it in to find it Dead On Arrival. Naturally, after checking the usual things, he called the dealer and explained his problem. First question from Deviously Evasive Dealer: "Did you check to see whether the power was on?" "Of course." DED: "Did you open the cover and check whether any of the boards had shaken loose in shipping?" "Of course." DED: Then why are you calling me?" "Well, you sold it to me and there has to be some kind of warranty," pleaded the frustrated purchaser. "Of course there is," replied the DED, "But you voided the warranty when you opened the cover." Like we said, he swears it's a true story. (On Late Night on 6/6/89.) Dave has one of his more respectable guests on the show, a Connecticut lady (didn't catch the name) who caters weddings and other social events, and has written books on the subject. She poses a question for Dave, that apparently someone has written her: "Suppose have have set up a huge party in honor of someone. You have set up a band, a large outdoor tent, and a complete spread of hors 'doeuvres, etc. Hundreds of invitations have been sent out. "Then, the night before the event, the guest of honor dies. What would you do?" Dave replied, "Make sure he had adequate ventilation." From: "de banaan wordt bespreekbaar", cultuurverandering in ambtelijk en politiek Groningen. door Tom Pauka en Rein Zunderdorp (Nijgh en van Ditmar, 1988) Translated: "the banana becomes open to discussion", cultural changes in administrative and political Groningen (city in Netherlands) by Tom Pauka and Rein Zunderdorp (Nijgh and van Ditmar, 1988)] Red-tapism: Take a cage with apes. In the cage we hang a banana on a string, and put a stairs under it. Before long an ape goes to the stairs towards the banana, but as soon as it even touches the stairs, all apes are sprayed with water. After a while the same ape or another one makes another attempt, with the same result: all apes are sprayed. If later another ape tries to climb the stairs, the others will try to prevent it. Now we take one ape from the cage and put in a new one. The new ape sees the banana, and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror all other apes attack him. After another attempt he knows: if he wants to climb the stairs, he is beaten up. Then we remove a second ape and replace it by another new one. The newcommer goes to the stairs and gets beaten up. The previous new ape takes part in the punishment with enthousiasm. A third old ape is replaced by a third new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and get beaten up as well. Two of the apes who beat him, have no idea why you may not climb the stairs. We replace the fourth old ape, and the fifth, etc until all apes which ones have been sprayed with water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no ape ever tries to climb the stairs. "but Sir, why not?" "Because that's the way we do things here, lad." Mr. Cohen Sr. has worked his whole life, dedicated to his nail business. On his 70th birthday, he decides he's ready to retire to Florida, so he gives the nail business to his son and goes to Florida. Six months later Cohen Sr. gets a phone call from Cohen Jr., "Hi Dad! Guess what! I've come up with a great new advertising campaign for the business. You'll be so proud. Come on out--you've got to see it." So Cohen Sr. eagerly flies back home to see his son's accomplishment. Cohen Jr. picks his father up from the airport and they drive to the factory. Halfway there, Cohen Jr. points out a billboard to his father. It is a picture of Jesus Christ nailed to the cross. The slogan below says, "For the toughest job, use Cohen's nails!" Aghast, Cohen Sr., gasps, "Oy! Son, I'm sorry, but you can't use that. That will never work for advertising." Cohen Jr. relents to his father's experienced wisdom and immediately removes the offensive billboards. Cohen Sr. travels back to Florida. Six months later, the father again receives a phone call. "Dad, I took your advice and got rid of the old ad campaign. Now I've come up with something even better! Come on out and look!" Cohen Sr. again flies out, and again, his son drives him from the airport to the factory. Two miles out from the factory, Cohen Sr. draws his breath rapidly. On the billboard, is a picture of a cross, with Christ crumpled in a heap at the bottom. The slogan says, "You should have used Cohen's nails!" The widow takes a look at her dear departed one right before the funeral and, to her horror, finds that he's in his brown suit. She'd specifically said to the undertaker that she wanted him buried in his blue suit; she'd brought it especially for that occasion, and she was distressed that the mortician had left him in the same brown suit he'd been wearing when the lightning bolt hit him. She demanded that the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd brought especially for that purpose. The undertaker said, "But madam! It's only a minute or two until the funeral is scheduled to begin! We can't possibly take him out and get him changed in that amount of time. The lady said, "Who's paying for this?" Seeing the logic to this argument, a very reluctant mortician wheeled the coffin out, but then wheeled it right back in a moment later. Miraculously, the corpse was in a blue suit. After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker on the smooth and speedy service. She especially wanted to know how he'd been able to get her husband into a blue suit so fast. The funeral director said, "Oh, it was easy. It happens that there was another body in the back room and he was already dressed in a blue suit. All we had to do was switch heads." If Operating Systems Were Beers... DOS Beer: Requires you to use your own can opener, and requires you to read the directions carefully before opening the can. Originally only came in an 8-oz. can, but now comes in a 16-oz. can. However, the can is divided into 8 compartments of 2 oz. each, which have to be accessed separately. Soon to be discontinued, although a lot of people are going to keep drinking it after it's no longer available. Mac Beer: At first, came only a 16-oz. can, but now comes in a 32-oz. can. Considered by many to be a "light" beer. All the cans look identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself. The ingredients list is not on the can. If you call to ask about the ingredients, you are told that "you don't need to know." A notice on the side reminds you to drag your empties to the trashcan. Windows 3.1 Beer: The world's most popular. Comes in a 16-oz. can that looks a lot like Mac Beer's. Requires that you already own a DOS Beer. Claims that it allows you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously, but in reality you can only drink a few of them, very slowly, especially slowly if you are drinking the Windows Beer at the same time. Sometimes, for apparently no reason, a can of Windows Beer will explode when you open it. OS/2 Beer: Comes in a 32-oz can. Does allow you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously. Allows you to drink Windows 3.1 Beer simultaneously too, but somewhat slower. Advertises that its cans won't explode when you open them, even if you shake them up. You never really see anyone drinking OS/2 Beer, but the manufacturer (International Beer Manufacturing) claims that 9 million six-packs have been sold. Windows 95 Beer: You can't buy it yet, but a lot of people have taste-tested it and claim it's wonderful. The can looks a lot like Mac Beer's can, but tastes more like Windows 3.1 Beer. It comes in 32-oz. cans, but when you look inside, the cans only have 16 oz. of beer in them. Most people will probably keep drinking Windows 3.1 Beer until their friends try Windows 95 Beer and say they like it. The ingredients list, when you look at the small print, has some of the same ingredients that come in DOS beer, even though the manufacturer claims that this is an entirely new brew. Windows NT Beer: Comes in 32-oz. cans, but you can only buy it by the truckload. This causes most people to have to go out and buy bigger refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer's, but the company promises to change the can to look just like Windows 95 Beer's - after Windows 95 beer starts shipping. Touted as an "industrial strength" beer, and suggested only for use in bars. Unix Beer: Comes in several different brands, in cans ranging from 8 oz. to 64 oz. Drinkers of Unix Beer display fierce brand loyalty, even though they claim that all the different brands taste almost identical. Sometimes the pop-tops break off when you try to open them, so you have to have your own can opener around for those occasions, in which case you either need a complete set of instructions, or a friend who has been drinking Unix Beer for several years. AmigaDOS Beer: The company has gone out of business, but their recipe has been picked up by some weird German company, so now this beer will be an import. This beer never really sold very well because the original manufacturer didn't understand marketing. Like Unix Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. It originally came in a 16-oz. can, but now comes in 32-oz. cans too. When this can was originally introduced, it appeared flashy and colorful, but the design hasn't changed much over the years, so it appears dated now. Critics of this beer claim that it is only meant for watching TV anyway. VMS Beer: Requires minimal user interaction, except for popping the top and sipping. However cans have been known on occasion to explode, or contain extremely un-beer-like contents. Bill Gates dies and comes up to the Pearly Gates. St Peter: Well, you've got a choice. Have a look around here. Pop down to Hell and see what Satan has to offer. Check us out, and then let me know your decision. Bill has a look around heaven. Lots's of sombre people singing hymns, praising the Lord (and probably writing Ada:-). He goes down to Hell. There are beautiful beaches, lots of sun, sand, attractive women (and a lot of C and Basic :-). Long cool drinks that never get you drunk. He loves it. He goes back to St Peter. Gates: Look, I know you're really doing good things here, but Hell seems more with it. More my kind of scene, you know what I mean? No hard feelings, but I pick Hell. St Peter: No worries. You've got it. Bill finds himself back in Hell, neck deep in fire and brimstone, suffering eternal torment. He can't work it out. Gates: Hey! StPeter! Where are the beautiful girls and long beaches and cool drinks? St Peter: Sorry if you got confused, That was just the demo version.

None: They refuse to do it because they're terrified that the sockets aren't really female. It obviously has to be done by just one. They don't screw around with other men.

Kirk must make an emergency stop at the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula IV, to procure a light bulb from the natives. Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu, and 3 red-shirt security officers beam down. The three security officers are promptly killed by the natives, and the rest of the landing party is captured.

THIS is TRUE for 15 October 1995 Copyright 1995 by Randy Cassingham ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOOK HIS MEDICINE: James W. Lewis has completed his 12-year federal prison term in El Reno, Okla., for his role in the 1983 "Tylenol murders" case. Cyanide-laced capsules put into medicine bottles on store shelves sent the public into a panic, killed seven unwitting headache sufferers, and dramatically changed the way over-the-counter drugs are packaged. Lewis was a suspect in the deaths, but was convicted only of attempting to extort $1 million from the drug's manufacturer in exchange for a promise "to stop the killing." (AP) ...And just as soon as we can find someone who can figure out how to open the "child proof" cell door, we'll let him out. FAT CHANCE: British researchers say dieting makes people forgetful and "vague", but because of the distraction of the diet, not the reduction in calories. "Constantly thinking about food and worrying about diet means that dieters don't have enough mental processing capacity to deal with tasks properly," said Mike Green of the Institute of Food Research in London. The deficit is about the same as a non-dieting person who consumes two alcoholic drinks. Meanwhile, a researcher from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison says that a diet rich in fat dramatically increases the risk of blindness. (Reuter, AP) ...If I get fat, I won't want to see the numbers on the scale anyway. Or is that fuzzy thinking? CUT! A motorist in Dublin saw it all happen: a bank robber shot a guard, then escaped on the back of a motorcycle driven by an accomplice. So he put his car in reverse and was able to thwart their escape by causing them to crash. Unfortunately, the "robbers" were stuntmen, and the getaway was a scene being filmed for television. The motorist "seemed stunned and bewildered," and the film crew reshot the scene so the bad guys would get away, as intended. (Reuter) ...The motorist was "stunned and bewildered"? How about the stuntmen? HAPPY LANDINGS: Three men aboard the Russian space station Mir cannot come home as planned on January 13 because the booster rocket for the spacecraft that will bring their replacements up -- and them back -- hasn't been finished, apparently because of a shortage in construction funding. The new target date: February 21. How do the three cosmonauts feel about the change in plans? "We are going to tell them quite soon, and I am sure they will be pleased about it," a Russian Space Agency spokesman said. (Reuter) ...Yuri, the good news is that you get to avoid the worst part of winter.... UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT: Charles Mahuka, a Honolulu anger-management counselor who helped people "deal with their abusive impulses", had a bit of a problem with a client who was ordered to attend his class by a family court. The client arrived drunk, witnesses say, and Mahuka allegedly lost his temper over the disruption and beat the man unconscious. Doctors say the victim is brain dead; if declared legally dead, the would-be counselor may be charged with murder. (AP) ...Not all is lost: now they all have a good example to talk about. AIM HIGH: The Jockey Club of Southern Africa, which routinely checks the urine of racehorses for illegal substances, indeed found something suspicious in a recent sample: human DNA. Apparently, the horse was unable to provide the sample, so a trainer ordered one of the groomsmen to fill the test container. The official in charge of collecting the sample has been suspended pending an investigation. (Reuter) ...At least they were able to assure him he was clear of any sign of dourine. OLD BOYS' CLUB: Great Neck, N.Y., attorney Rosalie Osias knew that "mortgage banking is an old-boy network." Yet, she wanted a piece of the action. How to break in? "I needed something sexual to get them to notice," she says, and so her firm tried a new ad campaign. One shows her draped across her desk in a short miniskirt; "Try this nonconforming law firm," the ad urges. "It creates a bad image for lawyers who are already getting a bad rap," complained one male lawyer, critiquing the ad. "Maybe the ads brought in clients, but once they were inside my door, I delivered," Osias countered. Business has gone up by 1000% since the ads started. (AP) ...This is a bad trend. I don't think I want to see any lawyer's briefs.

It is estimated that the average man speaks five thousand words a day, and the average woman speaks seven thousand. "The trouble is," complained one man, "When I come home from work, I've finished my five thousand, but my wife hasn't started her seven thousand yet." Cartoon Laws Contributed by Trevor Paquette & Lt. Justin D. Baldwin Cartoon Law I. Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation. Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes over. Cartoon Law II. Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes suddenly. Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the stooge's surcease. Cartoon Law III. Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout- perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction. Cartoon Law IV. The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken. Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it inevitably unsuccessful. Cartoon Law V. All principles of gravity are negated by fear. Psychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel them directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never touch the ground, especially when in flight. Cartoon Law VI. As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once. This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A 'wacky' character has the option of self- replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required. Cartoon Law VII. Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot. This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generation, but at least it is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The painter is flattened against the wall when he attempts to follow into the painting. This is ultimately a problem of art, not of science. Cartoon Law VIII. Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify. Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container. Cartoon Law IX. For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance. This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead. Cartoon Law X. Everything falls faster than an anvil. Examples too numerous to mention from the Roadrunner cartoons.
