Universities have nothing over our high school this year.  It is
definitely the holding place for loonies as they are awaiting room at the
local lock-up.  Tenet is going off the air in about 12 minutes so I won't
tell you what idiocy has gone on, but if I get in the <giggles mode> I
just may compose it off-line.  True lunacy that *no-one* will believe.

No, Ruth, they weren't white jackets; they were bright yellow t-shirts
with THE KIDS' TEAM across the front, under drawings of teachers of
different disciplines and teeny tiny letters saying "compliments of
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company" and our esteemed superintendent
thought it would be a nice gesture if we all wore them on the first day of
school.  Two people wore them. I was not one of them. Nancy was not one of
them.

The men who usually come out of the woodwork with the nets and white
jackets came out of the back of my room today in a wiley plot to catch
senior football players with an attitude problem who come to my class late
with the excuse that they were let out of athletics late.  The man hiding
in the back corner behind a pillar was one of the coaches.  When one of
the football players came in tardy, this coach slowly appeared from behind
the pillar and asked "And why are you late?"  The shock on that kid's face
had to have registered on the Richter Scale.

And that is *not* the full loonyness that is going on....

An e-mail friend in Pennsylvania sent me something from a newspaper

pay since he suffers from frotteurism, a sexual illness which compels
males to touch the private parts of females, and thus can't continue
working.  (His license was revoked when he was found fondling a female
adolescent patient.)  I thought some of you might like learning the new

Both 'culus' and 'puga' are used in classical Latin to mean
"the buttocks." The former is used by Catullus and the
latter by Horace. Puga, however, is a loan word from
Greek 'pygh/.' I chose 'culus' (as well as the uncompounded
verb form) over the more refined Greek term because it
sounded more earthy. Sigh. I went to grad school to
learn these things. Bill

IBM protocols are quite outside my competence, so I can't give

supposition is that you're running some kind of 3270
terminal-emulation software on the 486 and further that it has some

I think she writes for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and she had an
