assistant: Not necessarily a bad thing given recent news.
Actually all shoes should be shipped this way. Your feet are not the same
size/shape.
probably true...
Only because of the tax modernization in recent years...new computers...
new methods...new software. Also, so much friendlier lately!
And sold off at the under a dollar table at your local book store
Ask someone - a pilot, air traffic - if this isn't true already!
From my point ov vu thay ar alredy.
Article in paper this week say 100,000 die each year from wrong medication.
And that's just the stolen ones.
especially if I'm one of the lucky, the few, the chosen, who get audited
They just slap a store brand label on them
AAA instead of C?
How about 3056 people with subscriptions won't get the paper delivered? I
know I get missed 2 or 3 times a year.
Kinda that way already...seems to me I read that February 5th of this year

Upstate New York braces for 'Geek Pride Day'
April 17, 1998
Web posted at: 2:01 p.m. EDT (1801 GMT)
ALBANY, New York (AP) -- Dorks of the world, unite! Hundreds of
self-confessed geeks planned to congregate in an Albany pub Friday night
to celebrate "Geek Pride Day" by swapping tech talk and doing a little
geek networking.
Dress is casual. Pocket-protectors are recommended.
The special day and festivities are the brainchild of Tim McEachern,
head of a Web design company who believes it's time for geeks to come
out of the cubicle.
"There's a real pent-up desire to come forward. You get the feeling that
geeks are feeling downtrodden," he said. "All they want to do is have
some fun."
The theme of the meeting is "I'm a geek ... and that's OK."
Activities include a game of "pin-the-subpoena-on-Bill-Gates" and a
"stump the geek" contest. A sample question: "Who devised the use of
punch cards to operate computers?"
The festivities were promoted -- how else? -- over the Web.
McEachern also publicized the geek-fest over his local public radio show
"Geek Nation." He said he has gotten hundreds of e-mail responses from
people planning to attend.

The following was written by State Representative Mitchell Kaye from Cobb

We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more
riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior and secure the
blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great
grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some
common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt-ridden,
delusional and other liberal, commie, pinko bed-wetters.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that a whole lot of people were
confused by the "Bill of Rights", and are so dim that they require a
"Bill of No Rights".

user: You are replying to All about "CHURCH".

Write your reply.

assistant: The Catholic Church's air conditioning broke down, so they had to hire a
man to crawl around in the ducts and figure out what was wrong.
As the man peeked down through one of the vents in the sanctuary, he saw
little old Mrs. Murphy kneeling by the altar, apparently saying her
rosary.
Since the man was a fundamental Baptist, he thought it'd be funny to try
and mess with the lady's mind.
In his best authoritative voice, he said, "This is Jesus. Your prayers
will be answered."
The little old lady didn't even blink, just kept on saying her prayers.
The man decided maybe she didn't hear him, and tried again.  "This is
Jesus, the Son of God!  Your prayers will be answered!"
Again, she didn't react at all.
Mustering up a big breath of air, the man decided to try again.  "THIS IS
JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD! YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE ANSWERED!"
The lady looks up and says, "SHUT UP! I'M TALKING TO YOUR MOTHER!"
... "Holy smoke!" The monk said watching the church burn...

assistant: * DATING AND DUE NOTICE *
Relationships are hard. It's like a full-time job, and we should treat it
like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should
give you two weeks' notice.  There should be severance pay, and before
they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.

assistant: A guy and a girl met at a bar. They started getting along really well
they decide to go to the girl's place for a drink.
A few drinks later, the guy took off his shirt and washed his hands.
He then took off his socks and washed his hands.
The girl looked at him and says: 'You must be a dentist!'
Flabbergasted, the guy responded 'Yes, that's amazing how did you figure
that out ?'
The girl said: 'Easy .... you keep washing your hands'
One thing led to another, they migrated to the bed and things became more
passionate.  After they were done, the girl said:
'You must be a GREAT dentist!'
The guy was very surprised, and said 'Yes, I sure am a great dentist ...
How did you figure that out??'
The girl said: 'Easy ... I didn't feel a thing'
... Had brain washed, can't do a thing with it.

user: You are replying to All about "PARKING YOU CAR".

Write your reply.

assistant: Self-Pitying Car Parking Lessons of the Day:
-- Don't leave your car parked in front of your dorm (in the
loading/unloading zone) and forget it there overnight.
-- If, however, you are stupid enough to leave your car there, don't
leave the hazard lights on, or the battery'll go dead.
-- If you've ignored the last two suggestions, don't invite to drive
three friends to an important party the next night, forgetting where you
left your car.
-- Screwed up the last three directives?  Note that when a city cab
company tells you they'll pick you up in 30 minutes, the translation is,
[overheard on cab CB radio:] "Hey, Cecil, you wanna go pick up a bunch o'
college brats on 10th and Union?" "No, not particularly." "Nah, neither
do I.  Maybe if we ain't got no one else to pick up in a few hours..."
TOTAL COST (to yours truly) OF IGNORING THESE SAGE RULES:
-- One ruined pair of pants when I thought my car was stolen.
-- $5 in cab fare.
-- $60 in parking tickets.
-- $80 in towing fees.
-- 3.5 hours lost due to waiting for cab (1.5 hour) and getting car from
impound lot (1.5 hour) and letting battery recharge (30 minutes).
MORAL OF THE STORY:
-- Buy the parking enforcement officers donuts as a preventative measure.
SMILEY ENDINGS
-- I had quite a good time at both the Opera and Latin Dance Party events
:-)  I'm sure others have also had a good time watching me try to do
Latin Dancing.
-- Someday I'll look back and laugh at this.  Likely AFTER I've staged a
hostile buyout of our school's Parking Operations Department, however.

user: You are replying to All about "Peanuts?".

Write your reply.

assistant: One evening a man was at home watching TV and eating peanuts. He'd toss
them in the air, then catch them in his mouth.  In the middle of
catching one, his wife asked a question, and as he turned to answer her,
a peanut fell in his ear.
He tried and tried to dig it out but succeeded in only pushing it in
deeper.  He called his wife for assistance, and after hours of trying
they became worried and decided to go to hospital.
As they were ready to go out the door, their daughter came home with her
date.  After being informed of the problem, their daughter's date said
he could get the peanut out.  The young man told the father to sit down,
then shoved two fingers up the father's nose and told him to blow hard.
When the father blew, the peanut flew out.  The mother and daughter
jumped and yelled for joy.  The young man insisted that it was nothing
and the daughter brought the young man out to the kitchen for something
to eat.
Once he was gone the mother turned to the father.  The mother said,
"That's wonderful. Isn't he smart?  What do you think he's going to be
when he grows older?"
The father replied,  "According to smell of his fingers,... our son
in-law!"

Happy Vasectomy!
Hope you feel zippy!
'Cause when I had mine
I got real snippy.
My tire was thumping
I thought it was flat
When I looked at the tire
I noticed your cat...Sorry.
You had your bladder removed
And you're on the mends
Here's a bouquet of flowers
And a box of Depends
You've announced that you're gay
Won't that be a laugh
When they find out you're one Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
So your daughter's a hooker
And it spoiled your day
Look at the bright side
She's a really good lay.
Heard your wife left you
How upset you must be
But don't fret about it
She moved in with me.
Your computer is dead
It was once so alive
Don't you regret installing
Windows '95?
You totaled your car
And can't remember why
Could it have been
That case of Bud Dry?
