here is possibly the worst joke in the world in respose for jokes of
this sort.  it will serve your purpose quite nicely, i think.

     there was once a little boy who was about to graduate from
nursery school.  since his parents were so proud of him, the said to
him, "we will give you anything you want, because we are so proud of
you.  what do you want more than anything in the world?" expecting the
typical answer of a toy truck or crayons, his parents were suprised to
say the least when the boy answered, "a ping-pong ball."  his parents
asked him, "are you sure?  the only thing you want is a ping pong
ball?  what for?"  but the boy only smiled and said, "just a ping pong
ball."  so his parents obligingly bought him 1 ping pong ball,
relieved that they did not have to mortgage the house for this child.
     a few years later, the boy was about to graduate from elementary
school.  he was at the top of his class, and his parents were so proud
of him that they offered to buy him anything that he wanted.  once
again, they were shocked at his answer of"1 ping pong ball" and
demanded to know why he only wanted a ping pong ball.  he smiled once
again and said, "just a ping pong ball, please."  since his parents
were so proud of him they decided to just buy him the ping pong ball
without hassling him about what it was for.
     <continue in this manner for graduations from middle school, high
school, conformation, bar mitzvah, whatever and then do
college...remember that he only ever wants a ping pong ball and he
never tells his parents what it is for>
     after his college graduation, this young man was on his way to
his car when he was hit by a car.  his parents ran up to him, and
realizing that he was moments from death, said to him, "son, we love
you and are very proud of you, but before you die, can you tell us one
thing?  what were all of those ping pong balls for?"  and the boy
looked at his parents and said, "they were for..."
     and then he died.

sorry, i know it's terrible, but you asked for it!  :)

	After re-checking the file, I found that somehow my editor screwed
up when I originally edited the file and copied it onto itself a few times. 
Not realizing this, I posted the list as copied from my "original".  My
mailing/posting program did not notify me of the number of lines posted to
the net or I would have done something about it.  In the future I will try
to check my files before posting to avoid anything like this.  (In response
to an earlier sarcastic comment, the name I was referring to was in the

a little far in deleting every occurence of the name, I'll admit.)

Assume that there are X 2-legged animals and Y 4-legged animals:
	2X+4Y=186 (1st statement)
	 X+ Y= 64 (2nd statement)
	---------
	2X+4Y=186
	2X+2Y=128 (Multiply both sides by 2)
	---------
	   2Y= 58 (Subtraction)
	---------
	    Y= 29 (Division)
	---------
	 X+29= 64 (From above, substituting 29 for Y)
	---------
	 X   =35

Therefore, there are 35 2-legged animals and 29 4-legged animals.
So there are (naturally) 64 animals in the zoo!

Later!

A 70-year old woman was sitting on her porch when she noticed a dusty old  
lamp sitting on the ground at her feet.
She picked up the lamp and rubbed the dust off. Sure enough, a genie  
apppeared.

"I will grant you three wishes," the genie boomed.
The old woman said, "I want to be young and beautiful."

POOF - she was gorgeous and young and was feeling great.

"What will be your second wish," the genie asked.

The woman said, "I want to have enoungh money so I will be rich until I  
die."

POOF- there were huge stacks of $100 bills covering the porch and front  
yard.

"What will be your last wish," the genie asked.

The woman thought a second and then said, "I want you to change my mangy  
old cat Thomas into a handsome, young prince."

POOF- there was a very handsome man standing next to the woman with  
ribbons on his smartly dressed chest.

Thomas turned to the woman and said, "Now don't you regret getting me  
neutered."

   For those of you who don't like racial jokes, I just heard this one,
and the punchline is dependent on the races here. If you have some other
way to write it, send it to me, but otherwise, you don't have to read it.





















   Four men are in an airplane when the pilot announces that they are
out of fuel, grabs the only parachute, and jumps out. The four men
immediaately start talking, and discover that they are a Fremchman, an
Englishman, a Texan, and a Mexican.
   Always the polite one, the Englishman decides to jump out on his own.
"Remember the Battle Of Britain," were his last words.
   The Frenchman then gets up, and yells "Remember the Battle of the
Somme," and jumps.
   Then, the Texan got up, yelled "Remember the Alamo"-- and pushed the
Mexican out.

   Don't like it? Make it funnier and less racial...

Didn't we go through all this earlier in this group?????

Is there any decent honest men left who will put a final
nail in the coffin and let us know what the hell is going on.

Is there really a joke or not???

Remember this is honesty...this crap has gone on way to long.

BTW - If the joke is real email to atwoodc@csugrad.cs.vt.edu..

Somebody please end this chaios.....
