You know that "Winter Wonderland" song? Sleigh bells ring, and all that.
Well, the part that says,

	In the meadow we can built a snowman
	and pretend that he is Parson Brown
	he'll say `are you married?' we'll say `no, man'
	but you can do the job when you're in town

confused me for the longest time, because I didn't know what a Parson was.

It wasn't until a couple years ago that I figured it out. I always thought
that Parson was some famous person of yesteryear, and that I just didn't
understand the reference (like when I listen to Dennis Miller, and don't
get any of the jokes because they are about obscure people that nobody has
heard of).

This gives the phrase ``you can do the job when you're in town'' an entirely
new meaning.

Subject: Just a little Kansas humor
Date: 13 Dec 92 19:24:57 GMT
Organization: t.b


     Everyone should have at least one friend
from Kansas.  Everything there is a lot slower
and a lot simpler: the gait, the slow drawl, and
the humor.

     My friend from Kansas is Doc.  He's
six foot seven and likes short women.

     Anyway, me and Doc were sitting in Casey's
the other night when I whip a couple of crumpled
napkins out of my pocket and say, "Hey Doc,
I got me a couple of parties here, let's check
'em out."

     Next thing you know we're at one of the
parties.  We know a lot of the people there,
but have never met the woman whose house it
is.  Doc figures we should introduce ourselves.
His quaint midwestern morals, don'tchaknow.

     So we approach.

Doc: "Hi, my name's Doc, and this here's Huck."

Our hostess: "Wow, I don't think I've ever met
              anyone with those names before."

Doc: "Yup.  Holiday and Finn.  We're legends
      around these parts."

Our hostess: "Holiday and Finn, eh?  Well, your
              reputations do indeed preceed you.
              I'm glad to meet you, Holiday."

The bait's been proferred and accepted:  This is the
part your Kansas friend likes the best.  This is the
part he relishes.  You can see his eyes light up with
that telltale twinkle as he gives his beard a little
tug.

Doc: "No, ma'am, I'm Finn.  That there's Holiday."

Doc and Starcap'n Ra: "Tee hee tee hee tee hee!"

I had a friend in college who never wore long pants. Joe's
legs were claustrophobic, and in the winter he would run
through the snow between buildings to keep their phobia
happy. I wonder if Joe drives with his feet on the floor.

Most people can see with their legs, but it works best in the dark.

The magpies always know where meat waits for them, warm, brilliant and
humming against the snow.  They wait for the dogs to open the package for
them.  Sugary sweet!

The roads were designed to drain into the storm sewers.  The people
who live there came out one day and fixed the drains to do the opposite.
Now frogs, cigarette butts, cockroaches, leaves, letters of the alphabet,
digits of precision, and marks of distinction wash up the streets to the
very top of the ridge of hills.  The accretion is beginning to rot, of
course, but I still go up there sometimes to ask them things only they
would know.

An accident of metabolism had left his extremeties bloodless; in fact,
their arteries and veins had withered away entirely.  As their temperature
dropped to the ambient, a slow photosynthesis began to supply their
limited energy requirements.  He continued to live for many years,
instantly freezing all he touched.

The Nigerian rounded the final curve and passed the finish line.  Slowing,
he shook an arc of sweat from his face.  He paused to unstrap his prosthetic

There's this woman who lives on the Moon.  She flashes her mirror at
me when the Moon's full, and I run for my mirror so we can chat a 
while.  She told me she doesn't know Morse code.  I said, "That's
OK.  That way, nobody else can hear what we're saying."

The mite's about as small as they come, a parasite cubed.  Molecules
are crunchy to him.  He climbs the peaks and gullies of polymer, 
exoskeleton, and crystal.  He's very close to you, right now.
