Write your reply.

assistant: A man was experiencing chronic infections so he took his urologist's
advice and entered the hospital for a routine circumcision.  When he
came to, he was perturbed to see a large group of doctors standing
around his hospital bed.
"What's up doc?" he asked nervously.
"Uh, well......there's been a bit of a mix-up," admitted his surgeon.
"I'm afraid that instead of a circumcision, we performed a sex-change
operation on you.  You now have a very nice vagina instead of a penis."
"What!" gasped the patient. "You mean I'll never experience another
erection?"
"Oh, I'm sure you will, reassured the doctor, "only it'll be somebody
else's."

The UPN network will preempt its regular broadcasts of "Moesha" and

Write your reply.

assistant: An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was
attacked by the Loch Ness monster.  In one easy flip, the beast tossed
him and his boat high into the air.  Then it opened its mouth to swallow
both. As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God!
Help me!"
All at once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and, as the man
hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, "I thought
you didn't believe in Me!"  "Come on God, give me a break!!," the man
pleaded.  "Thirty seconds ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster
either!"

user: You are replying to All about "MOOSE HUNTERS".

Write your reply.

assistant: Two hunters went moose hunting every winter without success. Finally
they came up with a foolproof plan.
They got a very authentic cow moose costume and learned the mating call
of a cow moose.
The plan was to hide in the costume, lure the bull, then come out of the
costume and shoot the bull. They set themselves up on the edge of a
clearing, donned their costume and began to give the moose love call.
Before long their call was answered as a bull came crashing out of the
forest and into the clearing. When the bull was close enough, the guy in
front said, "OK, lets get out and get him."
After a moment that seemed like an eternity, the guy in the back
shouted,  "The zipper is stuck! What are we going to do!?"
The guy in the front says, "Well, I'm going to start nibbling grass, but
you'd better brace yourself!"

assistant: The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
} Dear Supplicant,
}
} I am writing to you on behalf of Oracular Industries in regards to
} your recent question.  The D1K bug hit us pretty hard here, resulting
} in numerous unforseen side effects:
}
} -Zadoc mistakenly released a selection of faked Oracularities which
} were written by a bunch of parrots with typewriters.  These were
} intended for a prank The Oracle was going to play on Lord Satan
} at next week's Dieties Brunch, but instead caused much havok and
} consternation amongst the Rhodites, many of whom took to their beds,
} wailing "It's a travesty! A travesty!" while their concerned spouses
} mopped their brows with cool, wet, face cloths.
} -The entire priesthood vanished briefly when the Space-Time Continuum
} reversed itself back to 000 and none of them had been born yet.
} This was, luckily, corrected with no seemingly ill effects, although
} several priests have been spotted playing in the fountains and
} blabbering about bright lights and tunnels.
} -The billing system seized up, meaning that several thousand
} supplicants (including yourself) will probably be visited by creditors
} demanding payment for everything The Oracle has ever asked you for
} (up to and including the Whack-the-Weasel Game, the complete boxed
} set of "Willie Streetsmar and His Hilarious Harmonica", and a piece
} of the true cross.)
}
} As I'm sure you'll understand, the Oracle is a little stressed
} over this.  He wasn't in a good mood to begin with, let me tell you,
} with every other question for the last week being "How can I get into
} digest 1000?"  I'm sure we'll get to your question in due course,
} once we get everything sorted out.
}
} Yours Truly,
}
} Gribalt T. Snotwelter
} Head of the D1K Recovery Team

Write your reply.

assistant: The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
} Yes, they will offer you the job, after 37 other applicants have
} turned down the offer because they noticed not only the sawdust and
} the buckteeth, but also the smell of decaying flesh and the unusual
} amount of garlic present on the surrounding buildings.
}
} However, you should indeed take the job.  Mr. Acula is indeed only
} in need of a secretary, and very rarely indeed is he in any way
} unpleasant towards his employees.  You should prepare yourself for
} some hard work, though.  Lugging away the bodies of his customers,
} replacing the sawdust once a week (his table manners aren't all
} that good) and keeping out mobs of enraged villagers with torches,
} hayforks and stakes.  Pay is good, though I would abstain from any
} 'complimentary fringe bonuses', if I were you.  They may cause your
} employment to become quite a bit longer than you would enjoy, and
} have a definite influence on your eating habits.
}
} You owe the Oracle a business folder with compartments for garlic,
} crosses and holy water.
