Subject: Speeder(adUlt)
The sheriff of the small Kansas town pulled over a Porsche that was
doing 75 miles per hour in a 35-mile an hour zone.
The man behind the wheel, a Chicago
commodities trader, was steaming.
When he was finally brought before the
local magistrate, he exploded, "I can't believe
you stopped me. This town must be the asshole of the world!"
The magistrate looked at him and replied,
"And you must be what's
passing through."

Subject: A Couple of Smiles
Poor Mildred was a 93 year-old woman who was particularly despondent over
the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided she would just kill
herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it
over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the
decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in
the first place. Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a
vegetable and burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to
inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be. "On a woman," the
doctor said, "your heart would be just below your left breast." Later
that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to
her left knee.
=======================================================================
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway.
Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the lady behind the
wheel was knitting! The trooper cranked down his window
and yelled, "PULL OVER!"
"No," the lady yelled back, "It's a scarf!"

In this segmented, analyzed marketplace of a world, where hucksters d=
aily
fain friendship to sell their wares, it=92s
nice to see the mechanisms behind the facade from time to time.
Just the other day I received a package --not a letter, a
cardboard box package-- with news of the latest
Reader=92s Digest sweepstates. I could well be a winner of
$5,600,000!
Now, for those of you who don=92t know about Reader=92s Digest, it=
=92s
this magazine with a humongous circulation. RD gets its big circulat=
ion
by protecting people from having to read full-length articles from
such august publications as PEOPLE MAGAZINE and The Whitebread
Monthly. (I sometimes wonder that the FTC hasn't forced them to
change the name to Non-Reader's Digest.) They also try to
convince gullible beings that subscribing to their mag might give the=
m
a better chance of winning millions of dollars.
So, I got this sweepstakes mailing using the usual merge-letter
format which personalized it to the point
where I suspected the letter writer actually had gotten my cat=92s
hair on his pants and that RD really new and cared about The Mica
Household.
I learned that a bonded security agent might soon be leaving the airp=
ort
in White Plains, New York (about 200 miles southeast of
where I live) to fly to to Buffalo Airport (about 200 miles
northwest of where I live) to bring a suitcase full
of money to my home.
I sent the sweepstakes stuff back to RD and told them, =93No
thanks.=94 I really don=92t wanna have to move
the house 200 miles on the off chance that this guy is coming with
a suitcase full of money.

> Most Middle Eastern countries recognize the following Islamic law: After
> having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh
Dear Gwen:
I am a Muslim and would like to take objection to the above statement. There
is no law in Islam that allows one to have sex with any other person except
his wife. Therefore the above statement should be changed.
Since I can't send messages to the list I would appreciate if you could send
this little correction.
TIA,
Aly.

Subject: EleTelephony <clean>
Once there was an elephant
who tried to be a telephant;
no no, I mean an elephone
who tried to be a telephone.
(Dear me I am not certain quite
that even now i've got it right)
how e'r it was he got his trunk
entangled in the telephunk
the more he tried to get it free,
the louder buzzed the telephee.
(i fear i'd better quit this song
of elehop and telephong.)

CONTROL FREAK
My husband had just returned from a five-day hunting trip, and I planned
a romantic evening for us. As I was unpacking his bag, I heard him say
behind my back, "Oh, baby, did I miss you!" I turned to give him a hug,
only to find him kissing the TV remote control.
