They just can't take a shot to the head.

Interesting coincidences:
Abraham Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy.
John Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln.
<about 20 different similarities not worth typing>
Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland not long before he was assasinated.
Kennedy was in Marylin Monroe not long before he was assasinated.

Suddenly he hears a faint voice calling to him..."Peter....Peter"
and he turns and starts to run up the hill toward Jesus on the cross.
Before he can get to the top the Roman soldiers shew him away and,
dejected, he goes back down the hill."

Mary,

I'm not sure where I got this recipe but I've always enjoyed making the cake.
Enjoy.


		1 or 2 quarts of rum	1 teaspoon soda
		1 cup butter		baking powder
		1 teaspoon sugar	lemon juice
		2 large eggs		brown sugar
		1 cup dried fruit	nuts

Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality.  Select a large mixing
bowl, measuring cup, etc.  Try a second sample of the rum - it must be of the
best quality and drink very smooth.  To be sure rum is of the highest quality,
pour one level cup into a glass and drink it as fast as you can.  Does it go
down smooth?

Repeat.

With an electric mixer, beat on cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.  Add one
teaspoo of sugare and beat again.  Try one other cup of rum to mak sure it is
the best quality of rum that is avalable.  Open second quart of rum if 
necessarily.

Add 2 arge leggs, 2 cupes of fried druit and beat until high.  If druit get
stuck in beateers, just pry lose with drewdriver.  Sample rum again.  Check
for tonscisticity and sinkablility.  Next sift 3 cups of pepper or salt (it
really doesn't matter).  Sample rum again.  Sifting 1/2 pinto of lemon juice.
Fold in chopped butter and strained nuts.  Add 1 spablesoouns of brouwn thugar,
or whatever colur you can find.  Wix merry well.

Geeese oven and turn cake pan to 350 degees C.  Now poor the hole mess into the
oven and ake for several month.  Check rum and bo from kichin to ebroom and so
to ged.

Good, because you reminded me of a real-life example.  I was reading through

I got to a page where it had been corrected by hand...to "lebel."  A synapse

So, chaps - enough of the Polish jokes already!  8-|

Here a sampling of some American jokes (from one who has lived there, milked
the system, and escaped, sane).

- their political system: who else would totally paralyse their decision-making
	bodies for AT LEAST a quarter of the term of each President?

- their TV: old-fashioned in technology, lousy in definition, and APALLING
	in terms of programming (though the Simpsons and the Sinclairs have
	their moments...second thoughts, ALL programming).

- their houses: big bad Andrew went huff, and puff, and all the houses fell
	down...try bricks next time, guys!

- their education system: you have to teach your kids to read at home, so they
	can go to school to play!

- their cars: only good ones are designed in Japan or Europe,
	then assembled (badly) in the US.

- their culture: seriously, a nation that treats large men who are intimately
	acquainted with sweat and blood as well as the Yanks do, could give
	ancient Rome some pointers.

- their sense of sportsmanship: the "Dream Team" - a dream of amateurism?
	Of fair play?  Of humility?  Or of more money....?

- their beer: much as British beer was once described as warm urine with
	bubbles, so US beer could be described as cold urine with bubbles.
	Only the Mexicans and Canadians have any idea.

- their food: best take-out in the world - if you like take-out....  Most
	popular food in the US: Italian and Mexican and Chinese.  Tells
	you something, that.

Enjoy.  8-)  I did.
