of course, one thing you learn with any type of emergency training is that
you never, repeat, *NEVER*, tell people to dial ``nine eleven'' --- in a
panic, even very intelligent types might go nuts trying to find the 11.

I thought it was nuts, till about the 5th time I was told....

 This traveling salesman was way out in the boondocks, and he went to
this farm trying to sell his wares. As he's talking to the farmer he
notices this three legged pig hopping around in the yard and he asks
the farmer about it.
 "I'm glad you asked me about that pig! That's no ordinary pig" says
the farmer. "That's a very smart pig. Why, my whole family owes their
lives to that there pig! Last winter, while we were all asleep, a
spark from the fireplace caught the cabin on fire. And we would have
all burnt up in our sleep. But that there pig beat on the door and
started sqealing and woke us up to save our lives. And then this
spring my son was a-swimmin' in the stock pond and took a cramp and
would've drown, but that pig came around back where I was plowing,
and pulled me by the overalls around where I could see him just in
time to save him."
 "But how did he lose his leg?" the salesman asks.
  And the farmer says "Why we all owe our lives to that there pig. It
wouldn't be right to just eat him all at once!"

  My apologies Paul. My .sig truly is on the large side, however more
  than half of what you see as the .sig is added by the system I use: I
  have no control over it.

  I'll be going back to a four-line .sig before the summer is over,
  unfortunately 8+ lines of junk are still going to be tacked onto the
  end of that.

  In fact, maybe I'll switch .sigs now: Canada Day is almost a month
  past, anyways.

Silly, the chicken had to come first, otherwise there you couldn't
have named the other one a "chicken-like bird".
