The first Sigue Sigue Sputnik album does this as well, placing the disc's
"commercials" in the intro lead-in time.  As a matter of fact, the disc contains
a ninth track consisting of nothing but the countdown lead-in.

Almost on the spot, but may I add that Butler's Proclamation was
signed by George C. Strong, A.A.G. Chief of Stables. Ok, it was
General Orders by command of Maj.-Gen. Butler, but this _is_ AFU
and we're very picky if facts are posted. (More facts? It was
General Orders, No. 28 and the date was May 15, 1862.)

I'll even post the text if you like. But, does anyone know if the
author was Butler, or did he just ask Strong to write some insults.

Those were gambling machines.   Which means that most of them got shut
down when the various acts controlling gambling were passed.

On a lighter note, I had a friend in college who used to pay for munchies
or pinball by playing pinball.  The college pinball parlor had a Satin
Doll machine that had its tilt mechanism broken on one side.  Which meant
that you could do a "satin doll slide," pushing the machine to the left to
intercept a ball ready to drain.  The usual procedure (I did this myself
once or twice) was to go drop a quarter in, rack the satin doll up to it's
max games (10), and then sell the games to one of the dweebs who didn't
know about the slide, for $1-$2.  At that point, we usually wasted the
money on more challenging games (although, if we could rack up games on
these machines, we could usually sell them for better money), but
sometimes took it and splurged on coffee and doughnuts down the hall.

I don't think you could "pay for college" this way, but if you had a free
ride and cafeteria meal-plans paid for by the grant money and loans, you
could use this to supply yourself with the necessities of life.

No, that's far too much.  Standard practice in the US (it vairies from
country to country) is to tip 15%-20%.  So, if there are 4 of them,
they should each contribute 3.75%-5% of the total amount toward the tip.

      Well, I suppose that would be one possible case that ULs could be
based on.  But the original poster had mentioned the warnings given in
Public Service announcements.  Somehow I still have problems picturing a
PSA warning about rape.  "If you are about to be raped, make sure you get
the rapist to put on a condom first"....  Nah, it won't fly as a PSA.
Surely any such PSA is just an UL.

Someone (a student of Alan Dundes, no less) told me a 
story the other day which had me wondering about 
charitable contributions.

It seems that the money given to those donation boxes 
that you frequently see in retail stores which ask for 
X cents or dollars for some charity (e.g., leukemia, 
dialysis, sex changes, etc.) don't directly go to the 
charity itself.

Supposedly, the establishment pays some fixed fee (e.g.,
the figure quoted was $50 a month) to the charity for the
"rights" to display the box and then gets to keep whatever
they get.  As a result, some of them make a killing far
and above what they actually pay to the charity.

Is this true?  What are the practices behind those things?

This reminds me of the "things happen in threes", more specifically, "bad 
things (ie. death) happen in threes".  I had a teacher as an undergrad who made
this assertion in class.  No disclaimer, etc.  As a statement of fact.  Another
skeptic friend of mine and I decided to test this "fact".  Using a simple
formula (for every "stiff", there will be two "pals"), we found that the 
entire world population would die in approx. 90 days.  We also assumed that
a "pal's" three friends must die with a certain frequency.  Our calculations
left us with 1 individual who could never die (since he had no pals that could 
recognize his death).

It is true - 98% of Anthropologists (whose mothers stated that they could

humans.  I have seen both Chimpanzees and Anthropologists mothers and 
know this to be true.

ObUL:  In the area of Zaire where the Pygmy humans live they also have pigmy
chimpanzees called bongos, pygmy gazelles called Dik Diks and pygmy 
termite nests less than 10 CM high.  The ants however are enormous.

I have photographic evidence to prove all this.  The photo of the roast 
Dik Dik is particularly interesting.
