Hello!  This is Jim, your friendly neighborhood traffic reporter.  For
those of you new subscribers out there, I send a weekly traffic report
out to the contributors to the HUMOR list, and once a month (usually
within a day or two of the first saturday of the month) I send the
report to the entire HUMOR list.  It is basically my responsibility to track
the number of contributions to the list, but considering my relative
visibility among the listowners, I am also here in case you
have any problems or concerns.  If you have any questions or comments, please
feel free to email
me at JimGPhynn@aol.com.
  Last month I asked those of you who were "concealed" subscribers why
you have chosen to conceal your membership.  I want to personally thank
all of you who answered.  As I promised, your letters have been
deleted, and I still won't tell anyone what you said.  I guess this is about
as personal as I can get...  Thank you anyway.  :)
  Without further ado,

And now for some obligatory humor >offensive to animal lovers<

  An antelope and a lion took a booth in a roadside diner.  When the
waiter came over, the antelope said, "I'd like a bowl of hay and a side
order of radishes, please."
  "What will your friend have?"
  "Nothing for him."
  "Isn't he hungry?"
  "Idiot!" the antelope exclaimed in disbelief.  "If he were hungry,
would I be sitting here?"
