Hello everyone, and welcome to the month of June...  Allow me to introduce
myself...  My name is Jim and I'll be your traffic reporter (for the
evening?)...  Once a month I will post this report to the HUMOR mailing
list...  I have chosen the day after the first Saturday of the month as the
date when you shall all be tortured by my posting of the report...  Mark your
calendars...

As you can see, for the past week we averaged 16.0 posts a day...  This is
good.  HUMOR goes out to 6,642 subscribers, both concealed and non-concealed,
in a total of 61 countries...  518 of us, myself included, grace the pages of
this list with random and sultry examples of our humor...  If you are among
the 6,124 subscribers who do not submit, just send LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU
the command GET HUMOR GUIDE      There you will learn everything you would
possibly need to know...

And now for a sampling of humor from the Soviet Union (when it still WAS the
Soviet Union)   >non-offensive<

     A schoolboy sees a picture of a dear, and he had never seen a deer
before, so he askes his teacher, "What is this?
     The teacher responds, "Why, that is a creature they write all of the
poetry about..."
     So the schoolboy immediately says, "So that's what Lenin looks like!"
