10) NUTS (Gilbert)
A joke list - NUTS@FINHUTC - which was originally just a posting
list for jokes, until yours truly inquired why one could not reply
to the list.  After several members of the list became really
irate and abusive over the fact that I was trying to turn it into
a conversational list, the listowner did indeed changed it so that
posters could reply.  It now has both jokes and more or less
friendly exchanges of pleasantries.  The jokes are sometimes funny.
12) KOTEX!
As has already been explained, a feminine sanitary napkin, one of
the first, and in the '40s and '50s, a generic term, much like
Frigidare and Klennex.  The occasion was the joke that got me
sent to the principal's office and almost expelled from school at
the age of 10 --  "I know something on you....  KOTEX!!"

>>German-speaking pen-pan
>pen-pan?  What is a pen pan and how does it speak anything, never mind German?

Well, I messed that up, didn't I?  Obviously was meant to be pen-pal, and the
question was : What does Dawn want this year?  Dawn (now high-school sophomore
and big wheel) is taking tough schedule (all book, no PE or easy stuff) and
one subject is German.  Said teacher would get them a German pen-pal.  I
suggested to Dawn that she might get an E-Mail pen-pal.  Don't think she is
quite ready for that, but did print off an answer a few days ago that was
written in German.  Warned Dawn I had no idea of what it said, but she took
it too school anyway ...said her teacher was very cool and no matter what it
said, would not be upset .....hmmmmm,  might not have been one of my better
ideas ...but was just trying to help her.

Well, it's hard for me to take my tongue and curl it up and towards the
back, and *then* quickly move my tongue all the way down to the bottom
of my mouth and back and have it sound at all natural.  Maybe this is
because retroflexes are not in my native speech inventory.

Sounds like the theoretical end of physics - a strange form of poetry that

As long as I'm explaining things, we might as well get my only gleaning in 
here too.  [hmmm - must be slipping]  
29) Double Nickel - an old CB slang term for the speed limit on most USer
highways.  Fifty-five miles per hour.  As in 55.  The US five-cent coin is
called a nickel, hence the "double nickel" for 55.  Giggles is well known for
driving his new Miata, and has just reached his 55th birthday.   Whether he 
will now drive 55 is anyone's guess; most American drivers do not.  We go 
faster.:-)

  I haven't actually read Heinlein's later books, but I'm nevertheless
pretty sure that there are few similarities. The reason why I
mentioned "To Live Forever" is that in that book, people who attain to
"Amaranth" status and become (sort of) immortal style themselves "the"
this or that.  So, seeing "the Ruth Hanschka" I always automatically
assume that you are in fact an Amaranth, and that you have copies of
yourself carefully stashed away in secret places, prepared to take over
in case you should meet with an unfortunate accident. A disadvantage
of being an Amaranth is that you have an obsession with preserving
empathy with your dormant copies, and so can never travel very far.
