     Thanks for selecting this shareware file!   
     This listing has something for virtually all computer users.
     'CompuFreebies' is a valuable source of free information, 
     product/technical help, promotional items and many other
     things for computer users. A major computer magazine - PC SOURCES 
     - has reviewed an earlier registered version of 'Freebies' in 
     their April '91 issue New Products section. The magazine staff 
     felt it would benefit their readers and was carefully considered 
     among hundreds of new products. This is not a novelty or gimmick 
     item that is thrown away or used up.

     The resources offered here, knowledge gained and contacts
     made will continue to be helpful for years. This is one of
     the few shareware products that offers much more value in
     learning opportunity and material items than the price paid.
     Our registered version (described later in detail) is the
     largest centralized source of free items (1500+) in the U.S.
     available on disk.  Most other listings of free items
     contain items that require a stamped envelope or 25 cents 
     to $1.00. They usually don't have toll free numbers and/or 
     complete addresses. This is not true with CompuFreebies. There 
     is never any charge to request any of our items.

     One thing which is very important to remember and is also the main
     purpose of CompuFreebies is its educational value. It should be 
     used as a resource to the computer industry. Although it's nice 
     to have free items, it's also very valuable to learn about the 
     type of products and software that exist and where to find the 
     best information.

            offering free items here are not advertisers.      
                                                               
          
                                     

 HOW IS THIS FILE ORGANIZED  
                                      
     All companies offering free items are organized by software
     categories.  In each software category (word processing,
     database, desktop publishing, games, magazines, spreadsheet,
     etc.) you'll find a company offering a free item such as a demo
     disk, or free information.

 ABOUT ACTUAL SOFTWARE. (Get yours right now!)
 
     One category here - 'actual software' lists a company that gives away 
     free software. This is the 'real thing!' You actually receive software 
     which can be used. No features are disabled. You install and use 
     it on your computer just like any software you would pay for.  
     As our thanks for reading this long documentation we've included an
     additional company that will send free software. Read the list of
     fre items carefully to find it.
  
     In addition to the 79 actual software packages available from the 
     registered version, there is one company that sends free for 60
     days any of their mainframe-related software applications. There are a 
     total of 300 applications available.
     
 ABOUT DESCRIPTIONS USED HERE

     Descriptions used here are a general guide and not meant to
     be a comparison or evaluation for any product. If you're seeking any 
     good program it would be best to request the demo disks and product 
     information for all programs (if more than one is listed) within that 
     category and compare. Descriptions here are used mainly to help in asking 
     for the free item. It's a good idea to study reviews found in many
     computer magazines to get the best idea of the features and              
     capabilities of a product.

 EXPERT HELP, MAKING CONTACTS AND TOLL-FREE TECH SUPPORT
  
     You'll speak with the department most knowledgeable about the
     product. Sales or customer support reps. are very helpful and 
     can answer most questions except the most technical. If a company 
     has toll-free tech support the number is listed here. These numbers 
     are not widely advertised and were obtained with a lot of effort. A 
     lot can be learned, for example, anyone with an interest in networks 
     can contact a network company that will explain some basics. 

     Because you can speak with someone quickly and easily much
     more can be learned with less effort (and cost) than reading
     a book or manual. For many applications, e.g. Wordperfect,
     completely free tech. support is available.  For those who
     prefer studying, the booklet category has companies that send
     good basic guides for most computer fields.   

 DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME OF THE FREE ITEMS

     Examples of miscellaneous free items are tangible items such
     as paper, calendars, calculators, clocks, diskette holders, personal
     organizers, mugs, mouse pad, large envelopes, etc. Not all of these 
     are available in the shareware version, however, I am using these as 
     an example.

     Many companies send thick informative booklets and literature
     describing many computer-related topics. To educate their
     users they send basic 'How To' booklets. For example, titles
     read something like, "Getting The Most from Your PC, Network,
     Mainframe, Connectivity, Telephone, etc. (titles depend on
     the company.)" I carefully selected booklets which are truly
     informative and do not try to sell a particular product.
     You will really learn a lot from them. Many have basic definitions.

     Free computer magazine subscriptions are used to increase ad
     revenue. The ads found in these magazines deal with specific 
     products and systems. These free magazines are specialized and 
     appeal to a certain reader. They are an excellent source of           
     information, news and events. 

     Free admission to popular expos: These are large trade shows with 
     many exhibits from companies all over the U.S. Normally admission at 
     the show without an invitation is at least $10 - $30.00. As with other 
     items, these passes are free to all callers.

     Free seminars are given to explain the basics of products and
     help potential customers understand products and services
     better. Practically all the expos and seminars listed in the
     here and in the registered version of CompuFreebies are not 
     advertised any place else. Sometimes free software is given out
     to those attending seminars. I once received a free MultiMedia
     package. Electronic catalogs offered are on either CD Rom or 
     diskettes. These are found in the electronic catalog section. 
     Many sales brochures come in large folders for holding papers. 
     Large envelopes can be re-used for other mailings.     

 LEARN ABOUT COMPUTER PRODUCTS YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED.
  
     A convenient listing of companies (such as this) with toll
     free numbers provides computer users with a great opportunity
     to explore and come across a solution or helpful product.
     Some companies with good products may not take out a full
     page ad (or any ad) in magazines or newspapers, therefore you
     may never hear about them besides here. We have many unadvertised 
     free items and computer products listed, especially in the registered 
     version.

     No purchase is required at any time from any company. Take as
     much time as necessary to review the demo disks and other
     material carefully. Only ask for what is really necessary as
     most things are expensive, especially for mail and handling. 

 WHY DO COMPANIES GIVE AWAY SO MUCH?
    
     Quite simple - to help gain market share.

     <<<<< BEFORE CONTACTING COMPANIES, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING >>>      
     <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS    

     Nearly all companies listed here and the registered version
     have toll-free nos. I have contacted each company and found
     the most direct phone numbers. As a result, time spent on
     'hold' or transferred will be greatly reduced when you call.
     You'll reach the department directly responsible for the
     desired product. Often companies do not list their 800 number
     in ads or any other literature. But I've managed to find
     and include them here. This will save phone charges and time.
     Detailed instructions on what extension or number to press is 
     included. 

     The following will give good results in using this list. 
     When someone answers the phone when contacting any company,
     the following short 'speech' is recommended:  "I'd like to
     receive product information about _______" (name of free
     item or software title). If you've reached the switchboard operator 
     you now will be: 1) transferred to sales, marketing, or product info.
     dept. or, 2) someone will take your name and address and send
     the item. Often the receptionist will quickly transfer you
     to some other area if you ask something about their product
     that sounds complicated. It's important, then, to quickly say
     you only want something mailed. This might often prevent a
     call from being transferred or placed on hold. If you're
     still transferred to another dept. you may have to start all
     over and ask, "I'd like to receive product information
     about_____ (name of item)". After a conversation with the
     company representative, when appropriate, mention the
     following: 
     "Please include a demo disk (or other free item) also."  This
     is better than quickly asking only for the item right away.
     Sometimes you might be asked, "Where did you hear about our
     product." You can reply, "From Infolist software catalog." 
     Often you may not speak to a sales rep. as many companies are
     large so they have many people that just mail out literature.
     Companies are more than happy to send product information.
     They will send a demo, video, booklet, seminar registration
     etc. to any individual or company and sometimes will ask
     basic information such as your company name, address,
     department, and other things. Do not be concerned about being
     pressured to buy. You can say that you'd like a demo for now
     and will call back after reviewing it. Most companies do not
     call again, I've found. You can, if you like, let them know
     what you think of the demo, information or whatever else you
     receive. In fact, they would be very happy to hear from you and
     perhaps they can offer other discounts or services at some other
     time. 


     It's a good idea to listen to the company representative
     as you can learn some good basic information about the computer 
     industry and computer products in general, etc. I've found them 
     to be very informed.  However, if you're too busy you can quickly
     ask to have (whatever) sent and after reviewing it you'll
     call back. They may ask what use you plan to make for the
     software. One suggestion is to say you'd like the demo disk 
     for evaluation for your own or company's use. Any item can be sent 
     to your home address (ATT: your name). This may be faster than     
     using your company address. You can still use a company name. 

     Some companies may ask information about the type of computer
     you have. For example, a company that sells Network products
     may ask, "How many nodes does your system have?" Or, "What
     Server do you use?"  A company that sells mainframe products
     may ask, "What type of hardware are you running?" One common
     mainframe is the AS/400. As for networks - Novell is a 'magic
     word' to use. If a question seems too technical for
     you to answer you can ask them to send the product information
     for now and will call back later with the answer. Or, you
     you can say that your job is not technical so you don't know
     much about the system but will be sure to forward the product
     information to the right people in your organization. 


     There are basically 2 approaches to technical questions 
     1) learn the basics about the product that you're requesting, 
     or 2) admit that you don't know. Bluffing works well. For example, 
     if asked questions asking about your mainframe system, a response 
     could be, "I know we have an AS/400 back there. I can check
     on that." For network questions that you might be asked you can say,
     "I know it's a Novell....Novell Netware. Don't know about the nodes.
     Will ask the network manager."  Also, if you hesitate after they
     ask a technical question they will almost always present you with
     some options. For example, after they ask how many nodes and you  
     respond, "Nodes?  Umm...let me see...I thought I had that info
     right here..." They will then say..."Is it 2, 4, 6, 8...?" You can
     then say, "4! Oh yes, that's it." Or, "What workstation do you have?" 
     Sun is a common workstation. However, if you hesitate they will say, 
     "Is that a Sun, Dec, Sparc, (etc.)?" One thing to remember is that
     some companies deal mainly with consumers (end users) and others
     deal mainly with buyers from large companies. Companies that deal
     mainly with consumers such as Wordperfect may only ask if you have
     a Dos or Mac computer. The one's that ask the more technical questions
     usually deal with other large companies. There are times when it's
     appropriate to say that you are gathering product information for
     a large company. Other times you're interested mainly for your own
     use.
     However!
     I have chosen mainly companies that will not give you a 'rough time'.
     So you most likely will not have to worry about this. But I mention it
     in case you come across a company representative that happens to
     be in a 'technical mood' so to speak and you will be prepared.

     You may find it more convenient to receive free items at your home 
     address. Here's one suggestion to use when giving the address:

     Your Name
     ATT: Your Company Name (or make up a company name)
     Your Street Address
     Your City and Zip code

     Let's say you come across a company, not necessarily any listed here,
     that will only send something to a particular type of company - 
     a government agency, a manufacturer, oil company, etc. simply
     substitute an appropriate company or government agency name above in the 
     ATT: line.
     
     Near the phone number in many listings you may see, 'Press 1, 
     then 2.' You can press 1 as soon as you're connected and hear
     a recording. Then quickly press 2 once you hear the
     beginning of another recording.                              
     Once you get an actual person, follow the same instructions 
     in the above paragraph. Usually, items will arrive very quickly. 
     If not, after 15 days you can call again. To keep track, it's a 
     good idea to note the date called and the date item was received. 
     Also write down company contacts. Soon you will have a listing 
     of helpful people and friends within the industry. Everything on 
     this list is currently available however, free promotions don't
     last forever. But to make sure that an item is truly not
     available you can try the following:  

     Call in about a half hour and request the item again to make
     sure. Perhaps when you called the first time you may have
     reached someone who didn't feel like filling out a form or
     thought that the offer expired. In some rare cases you might
     have come across a company that sends demos or other free
     items only if a specific advertisement or magazine is
     mentioned. If this happens, call again (it shouldn't happen
     but I mention it just in case) but do not repeat what was
     said the first time. You can mention that you heard about
     their product from any computer magazine, you're unsure
     where, or anything else you can think of - you happened to
     jot down their phone number a while ago but forgot what
     magazine. Also try reaching another company representative that
     handles some other region of the country. Remember to mark down when
     you called and if in 2 weeks you did not receive the item call back.

 SOME NEAT PHONE TRICKS.  

     (Can be used in trying to reach any company you will ever
     call - not just those listed here!)     

     In choosing companies for this listing, I made sure that
     anyone calling would not have any inconveniences or
     aggravation. If a company placed me on hold too long or
     transferred me too many times, or for whatever reason the
     free item was not easily obtainable, I did not include that 
     company here. But I thought I'd mention some telephone tactics     
     which might be helpful for those who spend a lot of time on the    
     phone.

     If no 800 # is listed for any organization try calling 800 555 1212, 
     directory assistance, before dialing a long distance no. There might 
     be a toll-free no. available. However, you needn't worry about this here 
     as only 3 of the companies listed here have no toll free number. 
     The addresses are included. If you ever need to find more than one 800
     number at a time, write down the company names and ask toll free
     information for a few numbers at one time. Compuserve also has a free 
     area in their system for finding toll free numbers for any company.  
     Usually, you must have know the exact company name under which the company 
     has listed their 800 number when trying to find a toll-free number.
     Some companies may not want the general public to use their 800 number  
     to keep costs down so they do not provide it (or advertise it) unless 
     someone asks.
     
     When calling any company long distance and you're paying for
     the call, as soon as someone answers, quickly ask if they have
     a toll free 800 number. If they do, you can quickly hang up and 
     call right back. 

     In order to properly route calls to the sales rep. or dept.
     handling your region, many large companies will quickly ask
     (maybe before you've had a chance to say much!) where you're
     calling from, name, zip code, etc. After you hear the first
     question quickly say that you only want product info mailed
     Sometimes this will speed things up and they will take your
     name and address right away and send the item.
     Other times you will be transferred to some other area. But
     what happens if you get a voice mailbox, the phone just rings
     or you're told that "no one is available?" You can do the
     following:

     Try calling back again in a few minutes. This time say that
     you're calling from some other part of the country. For
     example, if the first time you mentioned that you called from
     California and got a voice mailbox or were on hold too long,
     this time say that you're calling from Michigan. You will then 
     be transferred to the sales (or other company representative) 
     for another part of the country. The person assigned to THAT        
     area might be in. They naturally will assume you really 
     live or work in that area. If asked how you happened to 
     "get here to my extension or dept." you can say that the call was 
     misdirected somehow but while you're on the phone, can you please 
     mail product information or the item you want. Later you can call 
     back and speak with the regular sales rep. that handles your region. 
     Or, you can say that you're now travelling and would like the info
     mailed to your business address.  

     I've done all the above and it does work.   

 HOW TO AVOID BEING PLACED ON HOLD    
     
     If placed on hold after dialing an 800 no. you might want to call  
     again right away. After the 2nd time, or the 3rd or 4th!, you'll
     most likely not be placed on hold. You'll most likely reach
     another operator that's not so busy. Your time is too valuable
     to be placed on hold! Sometimes you may ask someone a question 
     and they are taking much too long. If you hang up and call
     again, you may reach someone with more experience who will find the 
     answer more quickly. 

     If you reach a recording asking you to press 
     a number on your touch tone phone, pressing '0' will often
     transfer you to the operator, even if the company's own
     recording does not mention this. When leaving a message on a
     voice mailbox by pressing '#' you'll usually hear some
     options. Often the company's own recording may not mention            
     this. You can then save your message using the right number
     on your touch tone pad. Otherwise the message might be lost
     (not common but why take chances) if you just hang up. After
     saving you can then press 0 and be transferred to another
     area - all without having to redial and possibly be placed on
     hold. This should not happen when requesting any items here,
     however, I included it just in case. 

  HOW TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM CALLING YOU BACK

     Sometimes a company may ask for a phone number. If you are very busy you 
     can say any of the following - I am in the field often and can't be 
     reached, I can't accept calls at work in the day, I am not near a phone, 
     I can only accept calls after ______(fill in the blank with a time you're 
     away; lunch hour, after work, etc.) One person I know would give a fax 
     number out. The person calling would think this number was given in error. 

 ABOUT TECH SUPPORT PHONE NUMBERS

     Toll-free tech support phone numbers, if the company has one, are 
     listed here next to their regular phone number. Tech support 
     departments for companies without a toll-free tech. support number 
     listed may be reached by calling the long distance number. But 
     try their 800 number listed first to make sure and ask to be transferred
     to Tech Support. Tech Support should be able to answer just about any 
     question and help with problems using the company's product. However, 
     speak with marketing, sales or customer service first.

 FOR MORE THAN ONE DEMO OR FREE ITEM     

     If you have many computers, PC's or workstations, you can
     mention this and ask if they may send the desired amount all
     at once. They sometimes will say that you can make a copy of 
     the demo disk.  

 CONTACTING COMPANIES BY MAIL       

     You can always write to request anything. Include the
     following in a letter: Your name, address, phone and name of
     software demo (or other items) you want. 

     Always include your phone number so they can verify the
     correct mailing address if necessary. If you really don't
     want to be called, mention that there is no phone at your
     location. If you have a hard time getting through by phone
     you may want to write. Also, if you've called a few times and
     the item is unavailable, you can try writing as a last
     resort. However, I would recommend telephoning the company
     whenever possible.

   You may be thinking, "How can companies give away so much?" Don't
   they go broke? The fact is that market share is very important, especially
   in a competitive area such as computers and office supplies. For example,
   I recently bought 10 reams of quality 8 x 11" paper for $17.79 - that's
   $1.79 per ream. Even without the $10.00 coupon the price is normally  
   $3.29 - with free postage. A listing of companies offering quality,          
   inexpensive products would be quite huge. Perhaps in the future I may have   
   a listing of places to get rock bottom computer equipment, office supplies   
   and other things. 
   
   The other thing to remember is that there are hundreds of thousands of 
   companies out there all competing for scarce customers. 735 companies 
   offering free items seems large but in comparison to the total       
   number of companies in the U.S. 735 is not that great. But what        
   about the quality of these free items? You may wonder. Most companies that   
   give away items on a national scale and can afford an 800 number, postage,   
   etc. to send them out are actually large. There are many Fortune 500         
   companies in the registered version. If companies gave away a cheap pen,     
   poster, tape dispenser, booklet, etc. how would that look for the company?   
   Not very good. Of course, you won't get a Parker pen but interestingly       
   enough they're very good. I have found that free does not mean cheap.
   Also, there is a lot of goodwill created with promotions and 'giveaways.'

   But what about those demo disks - diskettes are inexpensive today. 
   The main point about demo disks is - what is on the disk that can be
   used, not so much the actual plastic media. Many demo disks come with    
   tutorials about the software category -  for example - WordPerfect's         
   Presentations working model comes with a large tutorial about Desktop        
   publishing and creating great looking documents. Working Models have the     
   best information and there are many of these listed in the registered        
   version. A good rule of thumb is that if you have a working model of any     
   software program - Word Processing, Printed Circuit Board design, Desktop    
   publishing, Databases, Utilities, Network-related, etc. you WILL without a   
   doubt learn a great deal from the disk and the large manual that
   comes with it. Working Models have many features, and most companies
   send a very large manual. This is so that you have everything you need to    
   evaluate their product. As a side note, some companies send out 5 or
   more hi density demo disks at one time as part of their evaluation working   
   model.
 
   What about the phone numbers and addresses in the list? Are they accurate?
   Because the information is on a diskette it is easily updated. Many free
   item listings are on paper. They are not easy to update. Also, many
   other "Freebie" listings out there require a stamped, self-addressed 
   envelope, or 25 cents to $3.00 to obtain the 'free' item. With our listing
   all you need is a telephone, some time and a large mail box.
 
   Many people have registered in the few years that CompuFreebies
   has been around. Not one person has complained or been dissatisfied.
   That includes orders for paper listings. 
 
   Finally, one way to know for sure whether the $20.00 price for               
   registration is really worth it to you is to do the following. For
   each of the items described above next to the small 'o' place a dollar
   value. What is each item worth to you? For example, nearly everyone
   uses film. Right there you have 'gotten back' $9.00 of your $20 investment.
   You may not use Clipart but paper is always handy. 250 sheets goes
   for about $2.50. If you use fonts then you have easily $500.00 worth
   of valuable typefaces. You get the idea - simply go down the list
   and assign your own value to each item. Although this is a quick way
   to see what the registered version is actually worth to you - there is
   something that is not so easy to measure right now - the value of what 
   you can learn over the years. That is something you will find out over       
   time by using the registered version. I can guarantee you that you would     
   have more than enough computer-related information to keep you busy for      
   quite a while.

 HOW IS THE REGISTERED VERSION ORGANIZED

  The registered version is ordered exactly the same way as you
  see here (with many more companies!) except that each of the
  52 categories can be selected from the main menu. You would 
  select the file you're interested in. Don't have to search through
  one huge file! In addition, the registered version has 2 more ways 
  (besides Categories) in which the companies are organized: 

1) A large file with names and addresses of each company - in mailing   
   list format - 735 computer companies. 
   
For example:

     Promotions and offers may end, however, all videos are

     an operator, give the extension number (if listed) or just ask
     for the title of the video. Videos arrive in re-usable boxes
     and can be recorded over after viewing. If anyone asks how
     you heard about the video mention Infolist catalog. If you're
     told that the video is no longer available, call back later.
     Often a different person may be more cooperative. If calling
     a second time and are asked how you heard about the video
     mention a major computer magazine, or that you're not sure how
     you learned about it but had written down the company's phone
     no. You should rarely encounter such difficulty but I mention
     it just in case. If you don't have a touch tone phone and you
     reach a recording, eventually a company operator will answer.

 JOKES - SEE NEXT PAGE.

      Read the following section if you're interested in learning more
      about demo disks.

 WHAT ARE DEMO DISKS AND THEIR ADVANTAGES?

      Demo disks are given away as part of advertising and promotion 
      efforts, especially for new products. Most are similar to slide 
      shows and you watch colorful screens magically appear. They show 
      an example of the features found in the commercial program. The 
      term 'self-running demo' is  often used and means the same as a 
      'demo' or 'demo disk.' A working model does more than a self-
      running demo disk. It is almost the very same as the company's 
      software sold for a lot of money. Unlike self-running or 
      interactive demos, with a working model you can actually use many 
      of the same features of the actual, expensive program. Each 
      company's working model has unique limitations; most do not allow      
      saving and/or printing. For obvious reasons, there must be 
      limitations or companies would in effect be giving away their 
      software. However, some companies are more generous than others 
      with usable features on the working model.  One company's working 
      model (found in the registered version) allows design of up to 30 
      IC's (Integrated Circuits) for printed circuit boards.  

      Our registered version lists all of Microsoft's working models 
      including Windows. The working model of Windows 3.0 actually allows 
      use of Windows in the lowest operating mode. For many people this 
      may be good enough. You'll actually be able to use powerful Windows    
      features. As you can see, working models are very powerful.
      Many demos and other items are not advertised in magazines so          

      Compufreebies is the only place you'll know about most of them. You don't 
      have to pay for or return anything. Demos are sent on re-usable 3.5" 
      or 5.25" diskettes. High density and 3.5" diskettes can be expensive,  
      as you know. 

      Demos are very valuable in revealing a great deal about the
      actual software. They will answer many questions such as: 

    A) exactly how the screens are organized and will appear on the          
       commercial version     

    B) how easy will it be to maneuver around, and 

    C) where to locate the features YOU feel are important (not   
       only those which advertisements describe).  

    D) reveal quality of paper manuals and documentation. If the  
       directions and documentation supplied with the demo disk   
       (especially working models) are easy to use, then there's  
       a good chance that the actual program will have the same   
       qualities.

    E) quality of help screens and company support. How well are  
       questions answered about materials received when you call  
       the company? You'll see exactly how much on-screen help is 
       provided.

    F) compare one or more software products easily and quickly.  
       You'll be more certain as to which is the best software    
       for your needs - without having to take a chance on a      
       purchase. Often many magazines rate software and choose 2  
       programs as the best. You can further compare these 2      
       quickly on your own computer. 

       I'm sure there are a lot more than these 6 points but the          
       usefulness of demo disks in evaluating software should be 
       quite clear.

       Demos offer many advantages over buying the actual, expensive
       software for review, for example, some computer/M.I.S. depts.
       cannot get quick authorization for purchase of a wide variety
       of actual software. Other problems are: Forms to be
       completed, red tape, waiting for approval, installation time,
       returns problems (IF allowed) such as keeping track of return
       dates, packing, postage, potential loss of items,
       're-stocking fees', etc. All this makes it very difficult to
       review a lot of very good software. At least for preliminary 
       reviews, demo disks are a good idea. The actual software program 
       can always be reviewed later on.

     These two guys just arrived in America and decide to buy
     their first jigsaw puzzle.  It takes them six months to
     finish it.  One guy says, "Let's have a party to celebrate
     our accomplishment."  So they invite their friends over for a
     party and one of the guests asks, "What are we celebrating
     guys?"  The guys reply, as they're pointing to their
     accomplishment on the table, "We put together our first
     jigsaw puzzle and it only took us six months!" The guest
     says, "What is so special about that?  It doesn't look very
     difficult."  The guys reply, "Well, the cover of the box said
     '3 to 5 years'."

     I walked into a pizza place down the street from where I use
     to live. I was with a friend and we could not decide what
     kind of pizza we wanted. We decided to get a half of one kind
     and half another. "Give us a large vegetarian pizza, but put
     pepperoni on half". The guy behind the counter VERY straight
     faced and quite serious asked: "Which half would you like the
     pepperoni on?" Without missing a beat, I said "The right
     half!" He wrote "Pepperoni on the right half" on the tag and
     handed it to the guy who makes the pizzas. That guy smiled a
     bit and proceeded to make us our pizza.

     About 20 minutes later they called my name. When I went to
     pick up the pizza I noticed that it was sitting so that the
     pepperoni was to my right but the counter person's left. I
     could not resist. I said "Hey, I wanted the pepperoni on the
     right side not the left side!"  This taught me not to be such
     a smart ass in the future. The clerk, looking worried,
     grabbed the pizza and tossed it into the trash saying "Damn,
     I'm sorry, they must have made a mistake. We will make you
     another one right now!"

     25 minutes later, I kept quiet and ate the pizza! My friend
     and I did laugh about it for quite some time. Especially when
     the clerk gave us each a free beer and said he was sorry for
     the mistake and that we had to wait!!!!
          
     This piece of string walks into a bar, and says "Ouch!" He
     asks the bartender for a drink.  The bartender says "Hey, we
     don't allow string in here.  You'll have to leave."  The
     string gets up and walks out.  Later he decides to try it
     again.  This time he ties himself in a knot around the middle
     and cuts the end of the string by his head.  He goes back in
     the bar and orders a drink.  The bartender says "Hey, are you
     a string?"  The string says "No, I'm a frayed knot."

     I just heard about a group of US tourists who came back from
     the Soviet Union. They visited Lenin's Tomb, which is one of
     the most important monuments in the Kremlin.  Although the
     line was long, the foreigners were allowed to go to the front
     of the line. As they were allowed to enter, one 20 year old
     woman was not allowed to go in because she wore a short
     sleeved blouse. (It was in the summer) She couldn't figure
     out why such a rule existed. 

     Later on, she asked her travel guide about the rule, and was
     told that the Soviet constitution does not guarantee the
     right to bare arms.
