My flatmate used this and said it actually worked once!!

You: Walk up to a girl and say 'have you ever passed out when reaching 
     orgasm?'

Girl: Bound to reply 'no' (or 'piss off jerk' :-)

You: Look lightly surprised and say 'oh, really. Never mind' and walk away.
     This arouses her curiosity (so I'm told). If you later manage to get
     her in the sack and have your wicked way chances are she won't pass out
     (except if you're lectro@milton.u.washington.edu (Jonathan E. Maier) then
     she'll fall asleep while he corrects her grammar :-)

Girl: Well, that wasn't so great! I didn't pass out.

You: Well, you're the first!

Well I love to see my name in lights, as it were, but it seems that
some bright sparc (that's a hint about where he works, by the way)
decided that somewhere along the way I was asking what a termcap was,
and mailed me one that was several thousand lines long.  Like I work in
an office with over 100 workstations, and I wouldn't know where to find
one myself?

Gee - I've been hacking computers for 16 years, and Unix for 7, and I don't
know what a termcap looks like?

One of my professors claims that when he was doing his dissertation
research in California back in the early seventies, he and his wife met
the classic "hippie couple," who decided they wanted to name their
first-born son "Western Bullshit" (can't remember their last name). 
Apparently the courts would not permit it; the couple were reduced to
the name "Western B."  Don't know if this applies to other states.

The conversation came up when I told him about some historical research
I was doing with old city directories:  I had discovered the Jones
family in 1941, who must have been enamored of 1930's comedies.  They
named their three children:  Stan, Ollie and Fredonia.

Reminds me of a comic strip a friend sent me.  It's called "Dilbert" and
it came from the Minneapolis Tribune.  Anyways, in this particular one
three guys are sitting in an office talking:

[from memory, so it may not be quoted exactly]
"Back when I started programming, we didn't have those wimpy icons and
windows."

"All we had were ones and zeros, and sometimes we didn't even have ones."

"I once wrote an entire database program using only zeros."

"You had zeros?!  We had to use the letter O."

I thought it was funny!

Those familiar with stock car racing know of a driver named 
Dick Trickle. (sp.) It's amazing to here the announcers pronounce
his name with nary a chuckle.
