Find a dictionary, not necessairly Webster's Unabridged, but something
of a fair size would do.
Find the word "Polack".
Read the definition.
Can you see something like: "an offensive term used derogatorily" in it?
My, you've learned the meaning of a new word.

OBjoke:

A foreigner who doesn't know the local language stops at the bus stop
to ask people waiting there for directions.
He tries five different languages but people at the bus stop
don't know any of them.
Finally he shrugs his shoulders and walks away in despair.
One man at the bus stop looks at the others angrily and says:
"What a poor show! What will that foreigner think of us?
Are we a nation of morons or something?
Out of ten people - nobody knows any foreign languages?"
Another man sneers:
"So what about it? So he knows plenty of languages!
See how far _that_ got him!"

What I want to know is, who the hell came up with the name Platypus

I mean Kangaroo, ok, its supposed to mean "I dont know" or something
to that effect in Aboriginy, but Platypus?  It shure wasn't the
Aboriginys who came up with that name.  Any Auzzies want to clear this
up?  If there are any Aboriginys on the net, what is Platypus called
in your language anyway.

If I discovered a new animal I certainly would not call it Platypus!

Me, I'm just reading rec.humor, looking for jokes.  (Where the X did they go?)
People who appeal to the Constitution of the United States of America should,
however, realise that it reaches other parts of the world.  I'm reading
rec.humor (where _did_ all the jokes go, anyway?) in Australia.  The U.S.
constitution has a little more relevance here than the constitution of the
former USSR, but not a lot.

Go ahead, people, keep on posting.  (Please post some jokes!)  But do realise
that your "speech" may not be protected by the Holy Scriptures of the USA.

How many Bush family values does it take to change a light-bulb?

Five.

	- One to deny that the light-bulb needs changing.  
	- One to claim that he wasn't in the room when changing the
	  light-bulb was discussed.
	- One to figure out which son has made an ``unbelievably sweet
	  deal'' resulting in the loss of the light-bulb (and maybe the
	  lamp as well).
	- One to find a Democrat to blame it on.  
	- And one to call Jim Baker to come change the light-bulb.



How many Bush family values does it take to change a light-bulb?

Bush family values don't change light-bulbs, Bush family servants do.

No, Turing just fed the algorithm into a computer and performed
actual decryptions for British Intelligence. An enigma device
was found in Poland by Polish Intelligence, and a decryption 
algorithm was derived from studying it. This was relayed to the 
British. 

A similiar thing happened with a German rocket that misfired. Poles 
took it apart, photographed its mechanism, and sent the info back 
to the rest of the world.

Gees.  Don't you hit the return key ever?
Hey wait.  DO I know you guys?  I do know a Karl (but he
has short hair and I don't think with a name like Karl
Kistler that this is a guy with short hair) and a guy
named Tex from Houston, but I forget whether his real name
is Kevin or not.

I always recognize people by sight and sound, not by diction
and grammar.

But Karl and Tex live in Phi Tau, which is not the same thing
as living in coos, is it?
(you see, I don't live in coos.  I just come out of my gellersen
cage and visit coos occassionally via telnet.)

Later.
Gotsta write a book.
