{Original. Mine. Rejected by r.h.f. Sigh.}

   A spokesman for the West-coast fast-food chain "Jack-in-the-Box"
   today announced plans for the company to take advantage of the
   free publicity afforded by current headlines (children dying after
   eating contaminated hamburgers) by renaming itself

                      "Jack-in-a-Pine-Box".

This happened to me the other day and I thought I'd share it with
this group because this person's stupidity made me laugh.
 I received a phone call while I was home for lunch the other day.
This woman says, "Hello, I'm calling from the Columbus Dispatch, could
you tell me if you are subscribed to our paper?"
 I couldn't pass up this opportunity to point out stupidity.....
I said, "Wait a minute, you are calling me from the paper and you
don't know if I have a subscription?"
 She says, "this is the (tele)marketing department and we do not have
that information."
 "Okay." [real modern organization i can see] "Yes, I have a 
subscription."
 "Well, I'm calling to see if you are satisfied with your service."
 I said, "No you aren't. A minute ago you didn't even know if I had a
subscription, how could you be calling to ask about the quality of 
the service?"
 At this point, she was quite flustered, not expecting me to be so
rational.
 I could tell she was upset with me, but hey, what an opportunity, right?
 So I answered the rest of her questions and she eagerly hung up the 
phone.

 Is it just me? Have I been watching Gallagher too much? Maybe I have
been Gallagherized. But anyways, I had fun.

Another event happened that day, but I will save that for another 
message.

Objoke? Well I think that story was pretty amusing but okay.......

slightly offensive............


 This guy walks into a bar and does a shot. Then he says "Bartender,
who's the toughest guy in here, I'm ready to kick some ass."
 So a muscular fella comes up to him and says "I'll fight you."
Well they go at it and the little guy wins.
 The next two nights.....same thing.....
 So the next night, the bartender is ready. He had gone to the local
zoo and borrowed a gorilla for the evening. The gorilla was in a big 
cage at the end of the bar. So, sure enough, the little guy walks into
the bar and orders a shot. The bartender leans over and says, "There's
someone at the end of the bar waiting for ya, but take it outside
because I'm tired of you busting up my place. So the guy and the gorilla
go out behind the bar and all kinds of noises are heard.......
[Imagine the {POW} and {KABLOOM} stuff from the batman series]
 About ten minutes later the little guy walks back into the bar and says,
"When that nigger wakes up, tell him his fur coat is in the dumpster."



Sorry if that offended anyone. I don't make 'em up, just re-tell 'em.

My parents Vauxhall Cavalier has well over two million on it.
Engine (yes, the original) is going to need replacing soon, the camshaft is worn.
The service department at the dealers are really proud of it, and it got into
Vauxhall internal newspaper, but marketing weren't interested in paying
anything for it.

Mine only has a bit over one million, but I only bought it recently, and
theirs has full service history.

Subject: Kawasaki salesman joke
Date: 21 Jan 93 10:47:47 GMT
Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of York, England


So there's this salesman for Kawasaki motorbikes who's doing rather well. He
sells a lot of motorbikes and his boss comes up to him and tells him that he's
won the Kawasaki Salesman of the Year Award. He's going to be presented with
the award at the company dinner and will of course have to give a speech.

The salesman is chuffed of course and that night on the way home he starts to
think about what he's going to say in his speech, which is the following
Wednesday. Suddenly he feels a trouser explosion coming on and lets it rip:
HONDA! it goes. Bloody hell he thinks I hope *that* doesn't happen during the
speech. A few minutes later it happens again: HONDA! In fact all that night and
into the next day he still has this wind which comes out making a noise like
HONDA! He is worried by then and decides to buy some pills. The pills give a
short respite but the following day it's back with a vengeance: HONDA! HONDA!

He takes the day off work and goes to the doctor. He demonstrates his ailment
to the doctor who's never heard anything like it before and can only refer the
salesman to an specialist (etc this can be dragged on depending on how much the
listener already finds it funny). Anyway the specialist gives him electric shock
treatment or something but next day: HONDA! HONDA! HONDA! The salesman goes
back to the specialist in despair. The specialist says, look, I know of a
Chinese soothsayer who can sometimes work miracles. Here's his address.

So the salesman goes to see the Chinese soothsayer and describes his ailment.
The Chinese soothsayer smiles knowingly and says "Ah! You have Abcess. In Tooth.
Go to Dentist". The salesman thinks he's mad but is willing to try anything and
goes to the dentist. Remarkably the dentist DOES find an abcess in one of the
salesman's teeth. He drills and fills it. Suddenly the salesman feels the
pressure subside and realises he's cured. That evening he gives his speech and
it all goes well.

The next day, out of curiosity, he goes back to the Chinese soothsayer and says,
hey, look you were right. But how did you know? The Chinese soothsayer smiles
knowingly and says "Aha! Ancient Chinese ploverb! "Abcess makes the fart go
Honda".

Reply-To: pierce@cruzio.santa-cruz.ca.us


BOEING DISCOVERS NEW ELEMENT

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by Boeing
physicists.  The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no
protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0.  However, it
does have 1 neutron, 125 assitant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons, and 111
assistant vice neutrons.  This gives it an atomic mass of 312.  These 312
particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous
exchange of meson-like particles called morons.

Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert.  However, it can be
detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with.
According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium caused
one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have
normally occurred in less than one second.

Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at
which time it does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a 
reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice-neutrons, and assistant
vice-neutrons exchange places.  Some studies have shown that the atomic
mass actually increases after each reorganization.

Research at other laboratories indicates that Administratium occurs
naturally in the atmosphere.  It tends to concentrate at certain points
such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities and can 
usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained
buildings.

Scientists point out that Administratium is known to be toxic at any
level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction
where it is allowed to accumulate.  Attempts are being made to
determine how Administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible
damage, but results to date are not promising.
