Ok folks, here is the situation:

I need Sugar Bowl tickets really bad, but not
bad enough to pay $100.00 or more for them.  I have
never sold tickets above their original and intended price,
and I don't plan to buy them that way either.  ( Watch my
entire family shouting this OUTSIDE the stadium next Jan 1!)

Anyway, all you Tide-Prider's that received your tickets in
the mail this week, remember this posting and call or write
me back if you do not or cannot make the trip to New Orleans.

I need any number of tickets up to 6.

Thanks and "Roll Tide"

	A few exceptions to the rule not discussed:

1.	Dr Joyce Brothers.  This expert hosts talk shows, medical shows, 
	and citcom comedies (from time to time).  What a role model!

2.	Who's the guy who makes millions in real estate without investing
	a dime every week.

3.	This is marketing at it's finest.  Who else could sit before 
	millions of viewers and take calls from men on the subject of
	"penises".  Yep, our resident expert, Dr. Ruth.

4.	Manual Noriega (a man who made millions from drug dealers and
	special interest groups (ie: cia, military intelligence, etc)
	prior to losing favor in Reagan's eye (once eye was focused
	by other special interest groups under supervision of the press))

5. 	Did we mention the score of t.v. evangelists?  Now there's
	entertainment...  Aren't some of them actually magicians?
	You know, collecting monies for non-existent orphanages in
	exotic island countries...

6.	How about the son of George Bush?  First the bank scandal,
	then the oil company scandal, what next?  Elect him senator
	so he can "serve" the country like so many other qualified
	and distinguished inviduals?

7.	Flipper.  Okay, an entertainer.  But the owner of Flipper?
	Never seen on t.v., but probably made a few royalties in
	his day.  Yea, yea, yea: the owner of the male dog, "Lassie".

8.	Speaking of GEDs.  If the news media isn't mistaken, other
	millionaires such as Ted Turner, Dale Carnegie, and billionaire
	Ross Perot never graduated from college.  Oh yea, Jethro Bodeen.

	Let's not judge earning ability by the ability to work for someone
	(like college instructs one to do).  No, I'm not knocking college.
	Hell, I finished three times which is why I'm still instigating
	flares in these newsgroups.  If I were rich, do you think I would

 swiftly and professionally...I guess it depends on your agent. But I'll
 tell you this...who do you have your other insurance with? When we
 needed home insurance, we did basically what you're doing...and thought

Being a good Cane fan with 12 tickets , I can only say too bad.
I think Alabama already has too many fans going to be there. Miami needs
about 20000 more tickets. Oh well :-(  

The truth is we have 12 tickets but they're for 14 people. We called
1-800-648-8039 (Prime time entertainment) and they have tickets for
$150.00 each. Hopefully as the game get s closer you will be able to
find tickets for under $100.00 . (And so will our extra 2 people).

That's "spell", not "speel".  :-)

Yes; the guy has real live genuine warm-blooded furry reindeer
that he brings in. I'll have to start swinging by there, and
check on whether or not they're in place yet.

(And no, they aren't domestic deer being called reindeer. These
are the real thing.)

Hold ON!!!  Does anyone remember how this thread started?  It was a joke on
a bumper sticker, and now we are discussing the meaning of life.  I doubt
seriously that the guy's child beat up anybody (perhaps we could check the
National Enquirer to find out) and I doubt he tells his kids (if he has any)
to NOT STUDY!

AND that bumper sticker is responsible for it all.
ARE we going to have this much discussion about EVERY "joke" bumper sticker?
If so this is going to be a very busy newsgroup.  

More topics for MASSIVE discussion:
-----Bumper stickers I've had or seen---

"Interstate Hauler--I haul A__."  (I used to drive fast.)
"If your Heart isn't in Dixie--Get your A__ out."
"If you can read this--You're too D___ Close"
"Please Don't Remove this Sticker--It hold the Bumper On"


Well, that's enough for now, should give us two or three weeks of things
to talk about at which time I'll post some more topics.

Building 24
--------------------------------------------------

Letter follows................

As long as we're flaming the people who read the paper, chew gum, and
talk on the phone while driving.....

I'd like to discuss the road which goes north/south in front of Building 30.
(I don't remember it's name, INTER-something, I'm sure!)  You know the one-
the quarter-mile dragstrip.  

Well, you see when you're going home, (traveling north after crossing
those train tracks and CAREFULLY stopping and looking both ways, like
my little pamphlet told me to 8-)  )  Sorry,  I digressed...

ANYWAY, When you're going north, the lanes curve to the left.  They do so in
just such a way that, if you are in the left lane, and you do NOT
move your steering wheel at all, you end up in the right lane! (How fun!!)

The problem is, that you need to realize that when you do this, even
though you do NOT move your little steering wheel, you ARE CHANGING LANES,
and as such, should 

	1.  Look in your rearview mirror, and/or
	2.  Signal that you are changing lanes.

It just so happens that there MIGHT be someone in that right lane,
driving correctly, whom you MAY BE RUNNING OFF OF THE ROAD!

I'm sorry, perhaps you never had drivers' ed classes.  Let me explain.

See, there are little white rectangle-shaped sploches of paint on that road.
Those are LANES.  If you ignore those, (because it's FUN!) and an accident
occurs, you will be at fault.  We'd be happy to come to your office and give
you a remedial driving lesson if it seems you might need it.  You need to
stay between the rows of paint sploches.  If you move into a different row,
you should make sure it is not occupied first.


Hopefully we do not now need to discuss this in person.


Veeringly yours,
