Reply-To: metraton@cruzio.santa-cruz.ca.us


   During Thor Heyerdahl's fames Kon-Tiki expedition, his crew was amazed 
 to discover that the shoals of "flying fish" that they were watching turned
 out to be calimari, or the common squid. Apparently these animals, who swim
 by a form of jet propulsion, can actually propel themselves with such force
 that they can travel OVER the water for small distances.
   
   Now of course, this phenomenon has only been reported in the smaller squid
 species. But suppose that the Giand Squid (Archteuthis Princeps) can do this
 as well. 

   Let's say you're cruising to Bermuda on the Love Boat. You've just enjoyed 
 a lovely brunch with Capt. Stubing, and you're on the fiesta deck, gazing 
 out over the tranquil Atlantic. Suddenly, the fat midwestern tourist next 
 to you cries out, his face a mask of terror. Following his gaze into the 
 afternoon sky, you see what looks like a giant rubber Russian ICBM, only
 with tentacles, coming RIGHT AT YOU. Then, before you know it, you're dead,
 the ship lost with all hands. The Atlantic Princess is never heard from 
 again.

   A grim picture indeed. Who knows how many ships, aircraft and LIVES are 
 lost each year because of frisky squid. Surely this would explain the lion's
 share of the so-called "Bermuda Triangle" disappearances. (Although I'm not 
 clear on how a squid could take out a whole squadron of aircraft. Perhaps
 the element of surprise...)

   Also, in the gulf of mexico, huge manta rays, or devilfish, have similar 
 habits. It's a wonder there aren't more squashed rafters. Smells like a 
 cover-up. Obviously, resorts aren't going to play up the possibility of 
 a giant devilfish bellyflopping right onto your family. Bad for business.

Greetings!

Not long ago a good friend announced his intention to be married and, as tradition dictates, asked me to be the best man.  I had to go along with it, of course, and even feign enthusiasm, but the fact is I'd been dreading the moment for months...
	Thus, it means serving up big, "heartfelt" toasts before roomfuls of misty-eyed grandmas and assorted relatives...
	Sooo.....I'm soliciting interesting and humorous anecdotes/jokes/quotes about marriage that I could incorporate into my "speech"... I have noted the two earlier posts with a few quotes, but I could use some more.....

Additionally, any suggestions for non standard bachelor parties?

Just to put an "American" perspective on this particular rivalry:
While the mountains and fjords will never ask for a salary, some 
"enterprising" Norwegian may, someday, run an annual telethon on their 
behalf.  While their houses will neve burn down, their neighborhood 
may eventually need a cleanup, resulting in someone asking you to pay 
taxes *for* them, and while their maintenance is currently very low, 
that, too, could change if they become a vacation getaway resort for

I thought it was the .sig.  If I'm not mistaken they've probably
already made fun of it five ways to sunday in alt.fan.warlord.  Let's
see...  they've probably got it for: BU Ascii Font (extra points for
3D), >>4 lines, BU Border, multiple contacts, too many addresses and
numbers, whitespace violations, and more.  It's been a while since I
saw a .sig this ripe for warlording, although I haven't been on

Yes, why do you think products like "Bartles and Jaymes(sp?)

such people as Bartles... or Ed.  I know, it's not French,

I know about fetlocks, occasionally pulling one when bashful.  On the
other hand, as my sig demos, I am not sure about FET's...

OBJ (I consider it a sin, and others not following this process to be
sinners of the rec.humor group, not to provide one, regardless of how
lame...):  I know about fetlocks, but not too many know about
Gundlachs (outside of the NRA).

(For those with limited German, Gundlach sounds like Gun-lock.  Thus,
an obj and multi-lingual pun as well.  Oh, and the assertion is
because there are only about 450 such named families in the US.
However, members of the esteemed G family include security experts,
police head of detectives, and early lens developers for both Bausch

Scott Fahlman at CMU (smiley inventor).  Me at UW-Madison (smiley
collector).  Note that I posted an article in rec.humor.d forewarning
people about the smiley story, in case they were interested in seeing
how the popular media would deal with something so idiomatic to
computer users.  (I've redirected followups to rec.humor.d where they
belong.)

Shameless plug as long as I'm posting:  O'Reilly will be publishing my
smiley collection this spring.
