Former Vice President Dan Quayle has developed a blood clot in
his lung, probably as a result of "immobility in the legs from
prolonged plane trips", according to Dr. Homer Twigg, pulmonary
specialist. Twigg also said that Quayle would be tested for other
clots.
I understand that when his doctors were ruling out cerebral clots,
they X-rayed his head and found nothing. :-)

Commenting on Wednesday's murder of an Israeli soldier, Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin said, "We shall continue on the way to
peace and fight those who oppose it."
Excuse me?
---
Reading Rabin's statement, I was reminded of this item from Ross
and Kathryn Petras' book, _The 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said_:
"Why can't the Jews and the Arabs just sit down together and
settle this like good Christians?"
--overheard during a congressional debate; also attributed to Arthur
Balfour, British statesman, Prime Minister, and Foreign Secretary

Subject: Hotel/Mergers
A husband and wife are traveling by car from Atlanta to New York. After
almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and
they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice hotel and take a room
but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.
When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill
for $350. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high.
He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't
worth $350. When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man
insists on speaking to the manager. The manager listens to the man and
then explains the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference
center that were available for the husband and wife to use. He also
explains they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is
famous.
"The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform
here," explains the manager. No matter what facility the manager
mentions, the man replies, "But we didn't use it!"
The manager is unmoved and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay.
He writes a check and gives it to the manager. The manager is surprised
when he looks at the check. "But sir," he says, "this check is only made
out for $100."
"That's right," says the man. "I charged you $250 for sleeping with my
wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the manager.
"Well," the man replies, "she was here and you could have."

Subject: The Night Before Y-2-K
'Twas the night before Y2K,
And all through the nation
We awaited The Bug,
The Millennium sensation.
The chips were replaced
In computers with care,
In hopes that ol' Bugsy
Wouldn't stop there.
While some folks could think
They were snug in their beds,
Others had visions
Of dread in their heads.
And Ma with her PC,
And I with my Mac
Had just logged on the Net
And kicked back with a snack.
When over the server,
There arose such a clatter,
I called Mister Gates
To see what was the matter.
But he was away,
So I flew like a flash,
Off to my bank
To withdraw all my cash.
When what to my wandering eyes
Should I see?
My good old Mac
Looked sick to me.
The hack of all hackers
Was looking so smug,
I knew that it must be
The Y-2-K Bug!
His image downloaded
In no time at all,
He whistled and shouted,
Let all systems fall!
Go Intel! Go Gateway!
Now HP! Big Blue!
Everything Compaq,
And Pentium too!
All processors big,
All processors small,
Crash away! Crash away!
Crash away all!
All the controls
That planes need for their flights,
All microwaves, trains
And all traffic lights.
As I drew in my breath
And was turning around,
Out through the modem,
He came with a bound.
He as covered with fur,
And slung on his back
Was a sackful of virus,
Set for attack.
His eyes - how they twinkled!
His dimples - how merry!
As midnight approached, though
Things soon became scary.
He had a broad little face
And a round little belly,
And his sack filled with virus
Quivered like jelly.
He was chubby and plump,
Perpetually grinning,
And I laughed when I saw him
Though my hard drive stopped spinning.
A wink of his eye,
And a twist of head,
Soon gave me to know
A new feeling of dread.
He spoke not a word,
But went straight to his work,
He changed all the codes,
Then turned with a jerk.
With a twitch of his nose,
And a quick little wink,
All things electronic
Soon went on the blink.
He zoomed from my system,
To the next folks on-line,
He caused such disruption,
Could this be a sign?
Then I heard him exclaim,
As he warped out of sight,
Happy Y-2-K to all,
This is a heluva night!
****************************
Only 29 weapons-stockpiling days until Y2K!

Subject: How Blonde was she?
How Blonde Was She?
She was soooooooooooooo blonde...
She tripped over a cordless phone.
She sent me a fax with a stamp on it.
She thought a quarterback was a refund.
She spent 20 minutes looking at the orange
juice can because it said "concentrate".
She thought Boyz II Men was a day care enter.
She told me to meet her at the corner of "WALK" and "DON'T WALK".
She thought General Motors was in the army.
She sold the car for gas money!
At the bottom of the application where it says "sign here," she put
" Sagittarius".
It takes her two hours to watch "60 Minutes".
She thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats.
Under "education" on her job application, she put "Hooked On Phonics."
She tried to drown a fish.
She got stabbed in a shoot-out.
She thinks Taco Bell is the Mexican phone company.
When she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved.
She tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order.

Subject: Humor: viagra joke <non-offensive>
An 80 year old man went to the doctor to ask for a prescription for Viagra.
The doctor was a bit taken aback not only by his age but also because he was
a widower. He told him he would have to have a physical first to make sure
his heart, etc., was up to it.
He checked out OK for a man his age, so the doctor handed him a sample
package. "Lets just try a couple of pills first and see how well you
tolerate it. If it works out I'll write you a prescription."
The old man looked at the pills and said "Doc. Don't you have something
smaller? All I want is a quarter of a pill."
"Sir, you are 80 years old. Trust me on this. You don't want a quarter of
a pill. That won't do you any good at all. If you want a satisfactory
sexual experience you're going to need a full dose."
"Doc, you don't understand. I don't want to have sex. I just want to get
the damn thing out there far enough that I can stop peeing on my shoes."
