How do you make a dead baby float?  One scoop ice cream, one scoop
dead baby.  (Ba-boom!)

How did the dead baby cross the road?  Stapled to the chicken! (Ba-boom!)

What's grosser than 20 dead babies in one trash can?  One dead baby

Well, first off, I hate to break it to you but guns are offensive
weapons, not invisible forcefields that repel bullets.

Secondly, Hinckley did not buy his gun the day he shot Reagan.

     One morning a woman woke up to her alarm.  6:58, damn, she
had no time to change in to her aerobic outfit for her 7:00 show.
She grabbed the remote and started her workout on the bed, since
the first part would be lying down and stretching.  About two
minutes in to the workout while stretching her back with her feet
behind her, her ankles got twisted and stuck in the bed posts.
She was now lying with her feet behind her head and her nightgown
over her head, exposed for anyone to see.

     At 4:30pm her husband came home, walked into the bedroom,
glanced over and said, "Jesus Martha, put your teeth in and comb
your hair, you're looking more like your mother every day!"

Hi, I posted this to a local group where I work.   It was a big hit there,
I thought I would see what people's reaction to this is.  Its a bit crude.
(meaning style not content)  

STEW, AGPC are computer sites..just to let you know.  Bill is my boss. :-)
-=-=-=-=-

Hi! :)

I was in bed the other day and I was thinking, it would be really cool, if
like all the consultants who work at the STEW and AGPC computing center,
had parrots on their shoulders!  Just think of it, we'd look really
fashionable, with that bright green bird on our shoulders.  If we get
bored or lonely, we could always talk to it, and hold theological debate
with it.  I mean your mother said don't ever talk about politics and religion,
but I don't think she thinking of parrots when she said that!  

You know what else would be really, really, REALLY cool?!  If it could answer
all those $#(&$( questions about the mac.  I mean, there isn't 15 minutes
go by, that I don't get a question from someone who asks how to get rid
of that window that asks about inserting another disk they don't have.  Now
if we had a parrot, we could have it rattle off all these common questions.  
We would even tell it to go to the user and oversee how they are doing it! 
Wow!  I'm really excited about the possibilities!!  The things we could
make it do!  We could have it go to the board and rattle off all the people
who haven't signed up, or are over the two hour limit.  If anybody causes
trouble, well we will have the parrot scratch their eye out!  Or better yet,
have it put bird droppings on their shoulders!  yah!  Best of all, they
work for peanuts or seeds!  I mean, we surely can afford that!  Can't we?  

Bill, can we have a parrot?  I'm totally convinced that we can't get
along withot a parrot in the pc labs.  I'll promise to take care of
it!  Honest!  I'll hug him, and pet him, and squeeze him and call him
george!!!  Can we, huh? huh?

I should stay in bed more often, I keep coming up with such cool ideas!!

into a deep sleep. During the sermon ythe minister asked the congregation what
Eve said to Adam after their 13 children had been born. Just then the old

Sunday night dancing starts at 7 PM and runs 'til 11.  It will probably
 be in "bldg 13" on that Sunday, but it's wise to call 253-FOLK to check
 anyway.

Friday night dancing runs from 8 PM to 11.  The easiest way to get there
 via public transit is the 73 bus from Harvard Square, which will take
 you to within a block of the site.  You should still call for more de-
 tailed directions....

I don't believe that there is a contra dance in the Chicago area on July 25.
(The usual fourth Saturday dance has been cancelled.) The Monday night dances
are held at the Portage Park Moose Lodge, 5835 W. Irving Park Rd.

I will be in Dusseldorf, Germany from Aug 8- Aug 26 and am interested
in knowing where there are, if any, square dances are to be had.  I looked 
in the 1992 National Square Dance Handbook and it listed a club in the city
of Dusseldorf but they don't dance during the summer.  I am very unfamiliar
with the surrounding citys/towns, so please keep this in mind.  I will not
have a car but I don't mind public transportation.

Thank you,
