Subject: Miss America <contestants>
The Miss America Pageant is the consolation prize for the girls
who didn't make it into the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Have you noticed? Beauty may be only skin deep, but it's always
at least 5-8.
The swimsuits in the Miss America Pageant are creating the same
controversy as Bill Clinton's health plan: should they provide
minimum or maximum coverage?
The crowning of Miss America is special: it's the only night
somebody leaves Atlantic City a winner.

Subject: Good Neighbours
Carl Rowen, the black reporter and columnist, tells about when
he moved into an affluent white neighborhood years ago. A few
days after the move, he went out and mowed the lawn.
The man next door (who didn't realize a black family had moved
in) came over and said, "Hey, it looks like you're doing a
good job. I need somebody good to mow my lawn too. How much
are they paying you?"
Carl Rowen said, "They aren't paying me anything, but I get to
sleep with the lady of the house."

Subject: ANAGRAMS
Here's something put together by someone with not enough to do...
========================================================================
This should appeal to the intellectual in you...
An Anagram, as you know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or
rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. No letters can be used
twice or left out.
The following ones are exceptionally clever (someone out there either has
*way* too much time on their hands or is deadly at Scrabble):
Word/Phrase Anagram
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dormitory Dirty Room
Evangelist Evil's Agent
Desperation A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code Here Come Dots
Slot Machines Cash Lost in 'em
Animosity Is No Amity
Mother-in-law Woman Hitler :)
Snooze Alarms Alas! No More Z's
Alec Guinness Genuine Class
Semolina Is No Meal
The Public Art Galleries Large Picture Halls, I Bet
A Decimal Point I'm a Dot in Place
The Earthquakes That Queer Shake
Eleven plus two Twelve plus one
Contradiction Accord not in it
This one is *truly* amazing:
"To be or not to be: that is the question, whether its nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."
ANAGRAM:
"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero,
Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten."
And for a contemporary one:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
........Neil Armstrong, on the moon
ANAGRAM:
"A thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On
to Mars!"
And a final one, a perfect accompaniment to the impeachment trial. You're
not going to believe this:
"President Clinton, of the USA"
ANAGRAM:
"To copulate, he finds interns"

Subject: Insider comments & questions about contemporary life & kissing
What is it about management? I work for myself and even MY boss is an
idiot.
My boss has a problem dealing with authority figures - like me.
To all you anal-retentive types who complain about everyone
celebrating the new millennium next year: A millennium is any 1,000
years. You can start one today if you like. It's just an excuse for a
big party, anyway. Lighten up!
When I was growing up, I would hear "Stop fighting, or you won't play
together any more". Recently, it seems I am hearing "Stop killing each
other, or I'll kill you myself".
What ever happened to the caboose at the end of trains?
The reason 30+ year old women get carded is because the cashiers and
bagboys make bets on how OLD you really are and someone has to find
out. They know you would lie if they asked you.
Bob Barr - spokesmodel for the NRA, penultimate conservative, and
poster boy for birth control - is now against war. His hatred of Bill
Clinton knows no end.
There was once a movie entitled, "How to Irritate People." It is
obviously the employee training film at the driver's license office.
Women close their eyes when they kiss because they can't stand to see
a man have a good time.
We close our eyes when we kiss so we don't get the creepy
cyclops-version view of the person we're kissing.
If you saw who I had to kiss, you'd close your eyes, too.
Single people wonder why we kiss with our eyes closed. Married people
don't.
NATO: Now America Takes Over.
Why is it that when you have the most to do you get the flu?
Why is it that you have to have a license to drive, but not one to
have kids?
My sweet hubby serves me breakfast in bed. The only hitch is that I
have to watch fishing shows.
Of course I don't look as busy as the men, I did it right the first
time!
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
I eat my peas with boney,
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on my knife.
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life.
I don't like the honey,
But it keeps the peas on my knife.

Subject: Quick Wit <clean>
We should have a way of telling people they have bad breath
without hurting their feelings. "Well, I'm bored...Let's go
brush our teeth. Or, "I've got to make a phone call, hold
this gum in your mouth."

Four-Line
Signature! :-)
