In President Bush's closing remarks he (astutely) asks:                

"Now let me pose this question to America:                             

    If in the next 5 minutes, a television announcer came on and said
there is a MAJOR international crisis, there is a MAJOR THREAT to the
world (or in this country)...a major THREAT, my question is:

If you were appointed to choose one of the three of us,

    Who would you choose?

    Who has the perseverance,

  Big time urban legend! Yes, a field bulletin had been issued but the verbage
was not even close to the lower message. Having worked for IBM for the time
in question as a field engineer, let me state the following. All IBM part 
are 7 numeric digits. How do I know this... I spent two years in inventory
at Mechanicsburg Parts distribution. When the memo was issued it was only 
sent to the repair depots for P.C.s. I was in the Mainframe division, we did not
get this. It was later circulated in it's totally  revamped form.

They are multiple personality jokes, and if you don't believe me I 
will force my thoughts into your mind so there.

We had a course on multiple personalities here and I was in two minds 
whether or not to take it.

How does a multiple personality (group?) say goodbye?

When I was in fourth grade (about 10 years ago), I took a cardboard box
and spray painted it white.  I then decorated it to look exactly like an
IBM PC, complete with keyboard and disk drives (separately attached, of
course).  Cut arm holes and a hole for my head and POOF, I was a computer.

The sad part was, half of the house I trick or treated at had no clue what
a PC was.

	Not to mention the fact that it was tried before, there were so many

"illogical system", and attempting to also use the metric system.  One case in
point is an airplane crash, because the pilot miscalculated fuel...  The idea

I don't know if you'll thank me, Raina, when I tell you what it is...you see,
my hobby is to contact people on the net, and get intimate with them in
cyberspace, as it were.  Then I find out details of their computer account.  I
use this to find out their home address, details of their bank account, credit
rating, and so on.  I buy air tickets using their credit card numbers, get cars
for my friends, even donate to Ross Perot's election fund.  Then I visit them
at odd hours of the night, soon after they've queried their bank and credit
transactions....No, I don't think you'll want to interview me on the net,
Raina....
