As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it
wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought.  Debugging had
to be discovered.  I can remember the exact instant when I realized

finding mistakes in my own programs.

Subject:      TRUE LIFE FUNNY THING

Following is a story of a real true life funny thing that happened to me 
yesterday morning. I wish we had a camcorder for it because it was
something that you would see in a "I LOVE LUCY" show!!! (For those of you
not from the USA, Lucille Ball was a famous commedian & had a television
show where she was constantly performing slapstick comedy routines that 
were hilarious!) 

It was 5:30 am (Eastern Standard Time) & I was sitting at my vanity
dresser mirror on a cushioned bench blowdrying my hair. My husband, Rick,
was in the kitchen fixing a bowl of cereal for breakfast. All of a sudden
my blowdryer started making a loud noise like a machine gun!!! So I used
all my expertise & knowledge of mechanical appliances & I started banging
it on the dresser...in my mind this would make it stop! Well, this did 
make the machine gun noise go away but now I have sparks shooting out from 
the hairdryer!!! I'm serious! Red & orange sparks are shooting out the end
of my hairdryer! Well, now we have a different situation! I proceeded to 
do what every normal, red-blooded American housewife would do in this 
situation....I jumped straight up causing the bench to topple over
backwards & then I fell over backwards over the bench & was letting out a 
blood-curdling scream of terror that winded down to a howl all the while!
Did I mention that I was too scared to let go of the hairdryer? Oh yeah. 
All these intelligient actions of mine did not make the sparks stop
shooting out so I started beating the Hair Dryer From Hell on the carpet
very violently (all the while screaming as if I had just chipped all my 
nails!). This just caused the Hair Dryer From Hell to spark more & 
smoke!!! Then I let go of it & left it on the carpet spinning in circles & 
shooting sparks all over my bedroom & smoking up a great fog! Then I 
grabbed the cord & tried to pull it from it's socket! Rats! I forgot that
Rick put a surge protector on it so you can't unplug it from pulling the
cord, you have to grab the actual plug-in & pull it out. Did I mention
that I am still screaming during all this time? Yep! Well, while I'm
pulling on this cord & screaming my head off....all the lights in the 
house went off! Now all is quiet & dark...did I mention I'm afraid of the 
dark??!! So now I have a new reason to scream! I'm sitting in the floor & 
I start howling again & wondering to myself "how did that little hairdryer 
cause all the lights in the house to go off?". Back in the kitchen, Rick
heard me start screaming & heard the hairdryer going & smelled smoke so
he put all these points together (being the great Engineer that he is!) &
concluded that I was being electrocuted by my hair dryer. So he quickly 
made his way to the circuit breaker & flipped the main switch!!! Mystery 
solved.  Then he comes running thru the dark into the bedrrom calling out 
my name & I'm screaming out his name & we run into each other in the 
hallway. He wants to know if I'm all right & I want him to explain to me
why the HAIR DRYER FROM HELL tried to kill me & why it made all the lights
go out???

He just looked at me & shook his head as if to say "You poor thing!"

Subject:      Some of Murphy's Laws

(People, this is about 40 lines long. Have a good day!) 

"Some" of Murphy's Laws: 

 *  Anything that can go wrong will. 
 *  Trust everybody ... then cut the cards. 
 *  Two wrongs are only the beginning. 
 *  If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. 
 *  To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your
principles.
 
 *  Exceptions prove the rule ... and wreck the budget. 
 *  Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
 *  Quality assurance dosen't. 
 *  The tough part of a Data Processing Manager's job is that users don't
really
 
    know what they want, but they know for certain what they don't want. 
 *  Exceptions always outnumber rules. 
 *  To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is
research
 
 *  No one is listening until you make a mistake.
 *  He who hesitates is probably right. 
 *  The ideal resume will turn up one day after the position is filled.
 *  If somthing is confidential, it will be left in the copier machine.
 *  One child is not enough, but two children are far too many.
 *  A clean tie attracts the soup of the day.
 *  The hardness of the butter is in direct proportion to the softness of the
    bread. 
 *  The bag that breaks is the one with the eggs. 
 *  When there are sufficient funds in the checking account, checks take two 
    weeks to clear.  When there are insufficient funds, checks clear
overnight. 
 *  The book you spent $20.95 for today will come out in paperback tomorrow.
 *  The more an item costs, the farther you have to send it for repairs.
 *  You never want the one you can afford. 
 *  Never ask the barber if you need a haircut or a salesman if his is a good 
    price. 
 *  If it says "one size fits all," it dosen't fit anyone.
 *  You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
 *  The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.
 *  Love letters, business contracts and money due you always arrive three
    weeks late, whereas junk mail arrives the day it was sent.
 *  When you drop change at a vending machine, the pennies will fall nearby, 
    while all other coins will roll out of sight. 
 *  The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
 *  Experience is somthing you don't get until just after you need it.
 *  Life can be only understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

Subject:      nudist joke

So this fellow goes off to school for a few years. After some time, his folks 
write and tell him they miss him, and would he please send them a photograph?
WELL, he looks around and the only recent photo he can find is one taken of
him last summer at a nudist camp.  SO, he cuts the photograph in half and
sends
the top part home.  Awhile later he gets a note thanking him for the picture
and
mentioning that GrandMa also misses him and wishes that she also had a
 photograph.
NOW, he knows that GrandMa is getting on in years.  Can't hardly see at all
 really,
so he decides to just send the bottom half of that photo to her -- she won't
be
 able 
to tell.  AWHILE later, he gets a note from GrandMa telling him that she does 
 indeed 
miss her GrandSon, and thanking him for the photograph.
"You seem to be in good health", she writes, "but I don't approve of the way 
 you're
wearing your hair.  It makes your nose look much too long!"

(1) This new dean moved into his office, and there was a note on the door
left by the predecessor.  The note said, "In the center desk drawer,
there are three evevelopes which are to be used, in the order marked, for 
your first three crises.

About a month later, the dean had been called on the carpet and felt the
need to get out of the hole.  So, the first envelope was opened.  It
said,  "Tell them you're having a terrible time straightening the mess 
caused by your predecessor." 

By golly, that worked.  About 3 months later, another crisis came along, 
and the second envelope had to be opened.  It said, "Tell them you're new
on the job, and that you need a little time to finish cleaning up."

By golly, that worked.  About 6 months later, another crisis came along, 
and the third envelope was opened.  It said, "Prepare three envelopes!"

(2)     A true story.  The children were called by the pastor down to the
front of the sanctuary for "Children's Church."  One little 5-year old
was just beaming, and the pastor commented on her new dress, which was
full of lace and layers and all.  "My, that's a very pretty dress."  The 
little girl responded, "Thank you very much, but my mother says it's a 
bitch to iron."

A man went to see his doctor, and upon arriving, the doctor asked for a 
urine sample.  The doctor explained that he had a machine that could
diagnose a person by their urine alone. With that, he put the sample in. The 
machine went "chug a lug chug a chug chug chug" and spit out a piece of 
paper. The doctor read, "You have hemmorroids". "Wow! The machine knew 
that from my urine?!" exclaimed the man. modern technology. 
So the man decided that he was going to try to confuse the machine. He 
called to make another appointment and the doctor asked him to pee in a 
cup. SO, he had his wife and daughter pee in the cup, peeed in it 
himself,and scooped up some sludge from the driveway. He went into the
doctor's, it was put in the machine and the machine went "chug a lug chug 
a lug chug chug chug" and spit out a piece of paper. the doctor read
"well, it seems your wife has been fucking the mailman, your daughter is 
pregnant, your car needs a lube job, and you have athletes foot".

The following extraordinary story appeared in a local South African
newspaper ("The Argus"):

LONDON. - A university lecturer whose erect penis "popped out" during 
a private lesson with a girl student has blamed his washing machine.

Scientist Ian Rabarts, 53, told a Cambridge magistrate his washing 
machine was not rinsing properly. Some powder was left inside his
underpants.

"It caused a rash which made me itch," said Mr Rabarts, "so I let my 
genitals hang out of my briefs." 

The father of two said a whiff of student Michelle Sowden-Frost's
perfume caused his penis to become erect. 

"The displacement of my underpants because of the problems with my
crotch and the unwitting leaving open of my fly allowed the erection 
to protrude through the slip of my lab coat.   It was an absolutely
horrifying situation for me." 

The magistrate accepted that the incident was accidental and Mr Rabarts 
was cleared of indecent exposure. 

His wife said they had since bought a new washing machine.

1. You can enjoy a beer any day of the month.

2. You can have two (or more) different beers the same night
   (or even at the same time) and no one will complain.

3. You can finish with a beer in as much or as little time as you
   like. You can even stop halfway through without having to
   apologize.

4. Compared to a woman, beer actually tastes good.

5. (Best of all) A beer will never come at you will a fillet knife

A couple of months ago, I went to synagoue for shabbat services.  During the 
rabbi's sermon, he was lecturing on our faith in g-d.  All of a sudden, a 
4-year old who was sitting on his mother's lap, stood up and said in a
high-pitched squeaky voice,"Is that the same g-d as in g-d dammit?"

Later that evening, I found out the same little child was with his mother when 
she was discussing vacation plans with a friend.  The mother's friend
comentted 
that she was going to Maimi for two weeks.  The 4 year old then said,"It's not
your ami, it's my nana's ami." (MY-AMI)

    when they do, they say the performance has improved.

=> 2. You can have two (or more) different beers the same night 
=>    (or even at the same time) and no one will complain. 
=>

If you have more than one beer/(woman) in a night, you usually get a
headache the next morning.

=> 3. You can finish with a beer in as much or as little time as you 
=>    like. You can even stop halfway through without having to

If you do not finish with your beer/(woman) in front of your mates
then you get a hard time.

This one is from the olden days of computing, when they still used
punchcards.... (My grandpappy used to tell me about them... ;)

A certain friend of mine who was once a Computer Science major at USM was
monitoring one of the computer labs on campus.  A girl, who had been working 
on a program for what seemed like years without success, came to him for
assisstance.  He took one look at the batch of cards in her hand and said,
"One moment, please."  He quickly punched out a card with "!DO MAGIC" on it, 
then shuffled it into the deck at random.

The program, of course, ran perfectly.

Subject:      HUMOR: Traveling words <egghead humor> 

    Words sometimes set forth from one country and after sojourns abroad 
reappear quite changed. 

    French *boeuf*, beef, for example sallied forth to England with the
Normans, was accepted as beefsteak, and recently returned to the French
dictionary as *biftek*. 

    You may know what English call a *redingote* is the French word for our
riding coat, having come back around a circular course. Few citizens of Genoa, 
however, know that their blue *jeans* are named after the English
pronunciation of the French name, *Genes*, their their own city. Nor are the
burghers of Nimes conscious tht the *denim* their jeans are made from came 
centuries ago from Nimes itself (*de Nimes*). Still another fabric, *mohair*,
or goat's wool cloth, emigrated to France as *moire*, and was reintegrated 
into English as *moire*, or watered silk. 

    A Frenchman speaking of *mariachi* music is referring to *les mariages*, 
at which it was played when the French occupied Mexico.

    A *freebooter* is a highwayman or land priate. In Central America he
became known as a *filibustero*. The word returned to America as *filibuster*, 
and acquired its new meaning of using extended speeches as a delaying tactic. 
These extended speeches nearly always took place in the U.S. Senate were the
rules allow a Senator to hold the floor as long as one can speak. That lead to 
one of my favorite figures of speech, *windbag* (specifically it is a figure
of speech called a kenning). The term is no longer restricted to U.S. 
Senators, but also applies to politicans in general and anyone else who talks
often or long. 

    Travelers to India who stay in a *bungalow* are often unaware that the
English word started out there as *Bangalore*. 

    The young man who today accomapnies a Frenchman playing golf, was in his 
earlier days a *cadet*, French for youth. This word made his way to Scotland, 
was rechristened a *caddie*, and then returned to the golf courses of France
as *le caddie*. 

    *Un coctel*, from the English word *cocktail*, is now good French; it may
derive from Louisana Cajun *cocktay*, from French *coquetier*, the egg-cup in
which the drink was original served.

John Train's *Remarkable Words with Astonishing Origins* should be blamed for 
most of this text, although the typing is mind alone.

  Why the Ethernet (Internet, Bitnet, etc..) Is Like a Penis

 * It can be up or down.  It's more fun when it's up, but it makes it hard
    to get any real work done.

  * In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information 
    considered vital to the survival of the species.  Some people still 
    think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks today 
    use it for fun most of the time.

  * It has no conscience and no memory.  Left to its own devices, it will
    just do the same damn dumb things it did before.

  * It provides a way to interact with other people.  Some people take this
    interaction very seriously, others treat it as a lark.  Sometimes it's 
    hard to tell what kind of person you're dealing with until it's too
    late. 

  * If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread 
    viruses. 

  * It has no brain of its own.  Instead, it uses yours.  If you use it too 
    much, you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think
coherently. 

  * We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size
    and influence warrant. 

  * If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in big 
trouble. 

  * It has its own agenda.  Somehow, no matter how good your intentions, it
    will warp your behavior.  Later you may ask yourself "why on earth did
    I do that?" 

  * Some folks have it, some don't. 

    Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off.  They 
    think that those who don't have it are somehow inferior.  They think it
    gives them power.  They are wrong. 

    Those who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty toy, but think it's 
    not worth the fuss that those who do have it make about it.  Still, many
    of those who don't have it would like to try it.

  * Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop.  Some people
    would just play with it all day if they didn't have work to do.

It doesn't have to be that crowded. I've been felt up on the 
Toronto subway. Too crowded to move away, or to do that reach-down-and 
yank-the-hand-above-your-hard trick either. You know, where you yell 
"whose hand is this! It was on my butt!"

Michael Mandarino 
An english lesson: FUCK YOU

     Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English
     language today is the word "fuck."  It is the one magical word, just 
     by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.  Fuck, as
     most words in the English language, takes its name from the German 
     word "fricken," which means "to strike."

     "Fuck" falls into many grammatical categories.  It can be used as a
     verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was 
     fucked by John).  It can be an active verb (John really fucks up) or a 
     passive verb (Mary doesn't really give a fuck), an adverb (Mary is 
     fucking interested in John), and a noun (Mary is a fine fuck).  It can 
     be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful).  As you can see,
     there are not many words with the versatility of "fuck." 

     Besides its sexual connotation, this lovely word can be used to 
     describe many situations: 

         Fraud             I got fucked at the used car lot.
         Dismay            Oh, fuck it! 
         Trouble           I guess I'm fucked now. 
         Aggression        Fuck you! 
         Passive           Fuck me.
         Confusion         What the fuck? 
         Difficulty        I can't understand this fucking business.
         Despair           Fucked again.
         Apathy            Who gives a fuck. 
         Incompetence      He's all fucked up!
         Laziness          He's a fuck off.
         Displeasure       What the fuck is going on here? 
         Ignorance         Fuck if I know. 
         Defiance          The fuck you can! 
         Lost              Where the fuck are we?
         Authority         Shut the fuck up.

     It can be used in descriptive anatomy - He's really a fucking asshole.
     It can be used to tell time - It's five fucking thirty. 
     It can be used in business - How did I get this fucking job? 
     It can be a prediction - Oh, will I get fucked. 
     It can be maternal - as in "Mother Fucker."
     It can be nautical - Fuck the Admiral. 
     It can be political - Fuck Reagan.
     It can open the door to wonderful relationships - "Let's fuck."
     It can be used just to enhance the meaning of a word - as in 
        "Beautifuckingful" or "Terfuckingific." 

     The mind fairly boggles at the many creative uses.  How can anyone be 
     offended when you say "Fuck"?  Use it in your daily speech, it adds to 
     your prestige. 

     Today, tell someone "FUCK YOU." 
     SOME ADDED QUIPS: 

     Remember General Custer's famous last word:
               "Where did all those fucking Indians come from?" 

     Also, the last words of the mayor of Hiroshima:
               "What the fuck was that?" 

     And finally, the immortal words of the captain of the Titanic:
              "Full speed ahead and fuck the icebergs!"

Subject:      THE Star Trek Drinking Game revisited...

well, gang, i see there's a huge interest in this game.  so far the requests 
haven't been overwhelming, but to cut down some traffic, i went back and 
figured out where i downloaded the file from in the first place.  if anyone 
wishes, they can get this file from Wiretap Spies, by either ftp or gopher...

ftp: anonymous ftp to "wiretap.spies.com" - cd Library/Media/Trek - 
      get stdrink.txt

gopher(preferred): connect your gopher via wiretap.spies.com, port 70
      burrow through these menus: "Wiretap Online Library", then "Mass Media",
      "Star Trek", and get the document "Star Trek Drinking Game"

if you can't ftp or gopher (or know how-- you should learn! it's fun!), please 
feel free to send me a request.  but if you can, i would recommend doing it, 
not only to save me a little time, but also because there's a LOT of humor
archived there, along with other funny, amusing, bizzare, and fascinating
stuff

go browse there-- it's a good way to spend a whole afternoon (or more)

ANYway, our listowner, Bill, suggested that I should have given a sample of
this file, so below is an excerpt from the game.  The quotes and actions are
divided into categories by general and specific characters, and the end of the 
file (not here) contains general stuff to drink to while watching.  the 
numbers in the right column represent # of drinks to take.

enjoy
love, peace, and hair grease

Here's a few of the religous variety:

A young preist just out of the seminary went downtown one afternoon, when he 
was approached by a member of the oldest profession.  "Hey, Father," the tart
called out, "Give ya a blowjob for 20 bucks."  The young father, not knowing 
what she was refering to, blushed and said a very polite, "No, thank you."

Upon returning to the church later that evening, the priest ran into the
Mother
Superior and asked her, "Mother Superior, what's a blow job?"  To which she 
replied, "20 bucks, same as downtown."


A nun, a priest, a lawyer, and 500 childern were on the ill-fated cruise of
the Titanic.  Shortly after hitting the iceberg, the nun called out "Save the 
children!"  The lawyer answered "Fuck the children!"  The priest, looking
around asked "Do you think there's time?" 


And lastly, an oldie but goodie,
What type of meat do priests eat of Friday?

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English

its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate.  In language "FUCK"
falls into many grammatical categories.  It can be used as a verb, both

ective (Mary is
FUCKING beautiful).  As you can see there are very few words with the 
versatility of "FUCK". 

Besides its sexual connotations this incredible word can be used to 
describe many situations:

        GREETING        "How the FUCK are you?"
        FRAUD           "I got fucked by the car dealer."
        DISMAY          "Oh, FUCK it!" 
        TROUBLE         "Well I guess I'm fucked now!"
        AGGRESSION      "FUCK you."

        DISBELIEF       "UnFUCKING believable!"
        RETALIATION     "Up your FUCKING ass!"

It can be used in an anatomical description -- "He's a FUCKING asshole." 
It can be used to tell time -- "It's five 
 FUCKING thirty." 
It can be used in business -- "How did I wind up with this FUCKING job?"
It can be maternal -- " as in 'Motherfucker'." 
It can political -- "FUCK Clinton."

And never forget General Custer's last words: "Where did all them FUCKING
Indians come from?"  Also, the last words of the Mayor of Hiroshima: 
"What
the FUCK was that?"  And, last but not least, the immortal words of the 
Captain of the Titanic, who said "Where is all this FUCKING water coming

In an article shakib.otaqui@almac.co.uk (Shakib Otaqui) said:

An English couple were in Paris when the wife died. The 
husband wanted the funeral there, and needed to buy a black 
hat for the funeral. He mistook the word "chapeau" and went
in search instead for a "capote".

Asking where he could get a capote, he was directed to the 
chemist's shop, where he asked for a capote noire. 

L'homme behind the counter said, "Capote noire, capote noire? 
Monsieur, nous avons des capotes jaune, et capotes rouge,
mais...capotes noire...nous n'en avons pas. Pourquois
voudriez-vous une capote noire?"

The poor widower replied "C'est pour ma femme. Elle est

                        THE FIRST SERMON

The new priest, at his first Mass, was so afraid that he was unable to speak.
Before his second week at the pulpit, he asked the Monsignor how he could
relax.  The Monsignor said, "Put some martinis in the water pitcher.   After
a few sips, you should relax enough and everything should go smoothly."
The next week the young priest put his elder's suggestion into practice and
really talking up a storm.  After the sermon, he asked the Monsignor how he
had done.  The Monsignor replied, "A definite improvement over last week 
but I think there are a few things you should learn before you address the 
congregation again." 

     FIRST:   Next time, sip the martinis rather than gulping them down. 

     SECOND:  There are 10 commandments, not 12. 

     THIRD:   There are 12 disciples, not 10. 

     FOURTH:  David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit out of him.

     FIFTH:   We do not refer to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and his disciples
as 
             "The late J.C. and the boys."

     SIXTH:   Next Sunday there is a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's not
a 
              peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

     SEVENTH: We do refer to the Cross as the "Big T." 

     EIGHTH:  The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost are not referred to as 
              "Big Daddy, Junior, and the Spook."

     NINTH:   The recomended grace before Meals AND Communion is NOT
              "RUB-A-DUB-DUB, THANX FOR THE GRUB, YEAH GOD!"

     TENTH:   And last, but not least, it's the Virgin Mary, NOT "Mary with
the 
              Cherry!!!"

One day a nun was fishing and caught a huge fish for supper.  A man was
walking
by and said "Wow what a goddamn fish!"  The sister said "Sir you shouldn't
talk 
to me like that: I'm a nun", and the man said "But that's the name of it: 
a goddamn fish".  So the sister took the fish back to the rectory and said
"Mother superior, look at the goddamn fish I caught."  The mother superior 
said "Sister, you shouldn't talk like that!", and the sister said "But mother 
superior, that's the name of it: a goddamn fish".  So the mother superior said 
"Well give me the goddamn fish and I'll clean it."  While she was cleaning the
fish the monsignor walked in and she said "Monsignor look at the goddamn fish 
that the sister caught."  The monsignor said "Mother superior you shouldn't 
talk like that!", and the mother superior said "But that's the name of it: 
a goddamn fish".  So the monsignor said "Well give me the goddamn fish and 
I'll cook it".  That evening at supper there was a new priest at the table, 
and he said  "Wow what a nice fish".   And the sister said "I caught the
goddamn fish."  And mother superior said "I cleaned the goddamn fish".  And 
the monsignor said "I cooked the goddamn fish".  And the new priest said:
"I like this fucking place already!"

The seven dwarfs are in Rome and they go on a tour of the city. 
After a while they go to the Vatican and meet the pope.  Grumpy, for once, 
seems to have a lot to say; he keeps asking the pontiff questions about
the church, and in particular, nuns.
        "Your Holiness, do you have any really short nuns?"
        "No, my son, all our nuns are at least five feet tall." 
        "Are you sure?  I mean, you wouldn't have any nuns that are, say, 
         about my height?  Maybe a little shorter?"
        "I'm afraid not.  Why do you ask?"
        "No reason."  Pause.  "Positive?  Nobody in a habit that's about 
         three feet tall, two and a half feet tall?"
        "I'm sure."
        "Okay."
Grumpy looks dejected at this news, and the pope wonders why. 
So he listens to the dwarfs as they leave the building.
        "What'd he say?  What'd he say?"  chant the other six dwarfs. 
        Grumpy says, "He said they don't have any."
        And the other six start chanting, "Grumpy fucked a penguin!  Grumpy 
        fucked a penguin!  Grumpy fucked a penguin!"....

Just for the sake of correctness, Fuck doesn't come from the German work 
'fricken', it comes from the police description of consentual sex, which
reads 'fornicating under carnal knowledge'.  So when your mother gets
upset at you using the word fuck, tell her that you learned it from a 
policeman. 

Have a HUMORous day...

Subject:      HUMOR: 1993 Physic predictions revisited 

        Jean Dixon and the powerful Mind-Control and soap opera lobby, who
dominates the most popular newspapers in the UK and USA, have probably 
suppressed this report in your favorite tabloid. 

        PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS FALL SHORT: Bill and Hillary Clinton separate! 
Madonna arrested for skiing naked! Fergie poses for Playboy! These are
just of few of the predictions psychics made for 1993 that never quite
materialized. In the upcoming issue of the Skeptical Inquirer -- a
quarterly journal dedicated to debunking the claims of magicians, 
psychics, clairvoyants and others -- science writer Gene Emery reviews
the predictions that appeared in the tabloids at the end of 1992.
``Depending on who you listened to, 1993 was supposed to be the year
that Madonna revealed she was Jim Nabors' love child or the year she
remarried Sean Penn, cleaned up her image and became the next Julie 
Andrews,'' Emery said. The Skeptical Inquirer has published a year-end 
tally of the most ridiculous predictions for the past five years, but
the ``hit rate'' of psychics doesn't appear to be improving, Emery said. 
After rereading tabloid stories such as the one confidently predicting
that imprisoned boxer Mike Tyson would find his true love with a fellow
inmate named Big Bubba, Emery said, ``each year, I'm convinced that
people who consult self-proclaimed psychics are probably wasting their 
money.'' But the Providence, R.I.-based writer also says he continues to 
search for people who can demonstrate independently verifiable 
paranormal talents.

there are no midget nuns. Any other question?" "No, Father" So the priest
continues with his sermon.  Minutes later, Dopey raises his hand again,
"Father, are there any midget nuns in the country?"  "No, Dopey, I`m

hand once more, "Father, are there any midget nuns in the world?" The 
preist, a little exasperated at this point, exclaimed, "No, Dopey, there

they were riding along when they hit a bump.  As they hit the 2 novices
giggled.  The mother superior just gave them a dirty look.  They rode a little 
farther and they hit another bump and the novices giggled again.  The
mother superior gave them another dirty look.  They rode a bit further until

A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway, when he notices a 
sign out of the corner of his eye.  It says SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF
PROSTITUTION 10 MILES.  He thinks it was just a figment of his 
imagination and drives on without a second thought.  Soon, he sees
another sign which says SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 5 MILES
and realizes that these signs are for real.  When he drives past a third
sign saying SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT, his 
curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive.

On the far side of the parking lot is a somber stone building with a 
small sign next to the door reading SISTERS OF MERCY.  He climbs the 
steps and rings the bell.  The door is answered by a nun in a long black
habit who asks "What may we do for you, my son?" 

He answers "I saw your signs along the highway, and was interested in
possibly doing business."

"Very well, my son.  Please follow me."

He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. 
The nun stops at a closed door, and tells the man "Please knock on this
door." He does as he is told and this door is answered by another nun in
a long habit and holding a tin cup.  This nun instructs "Please place 
$50 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this 
hallway."  He gets $50 out of his wallet and places it in the second
nun's cup.  He trots eagerly down the hall and slips through the door, 
pulling it shut behind him.  As the door locks behind him, he finds
himself back in the parking lot, facing another small sign: GO IN PEACE, 
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY.

Subject:      Priest stops complaining <Catholic humor> 

Seems this Catholic priest was feeling despondent over being posted to a 
dry, desert parish.  He wrote letters to his bishop constantly, requesting 
that he be posted somewhere more hospitable.  No reply to his letters ever 
came, and soon the letters stopped. 

Some time later, when the archbishop was making the rounds of the rural
churches, he stopped in to see how the unhappy priest was doing.  He found 
a pleasant man, in an air-conditioned church.  There were no parishoners,
since the closest neighbors were many miles away.  The archbishop admitted 
to some confusion, since the priest did not look like the desperate writer 
of so many letters.  He asked the priest how he liked it out in the desert. 

"At first I was unhappy.  But thanks to two things I have grown to love it
out here in the sparse desert." 

"And they are?" the archibishop inquired.

"The first is my Rosary.  Without my Rosary I wouldn't make it a day out 
here."

"And the second?"

At this the priest looked askance.  "Well, to be honest, I have developed a 
taste for martinis in the afternoon.  They help to alleviate the heat
during the worst part of the day."  He looked sheepish at this admission, 
but the archbishop just smiled. 

"Martinis, eh?  Well, that's not so bad.  In fact, I'd be glad to share one
with you right now, if you don't mind that is." 

"Not at all!" the priest exulted.  "Let me get one for you right away." 

Turning to the back of the church, the priest shouted, "Oh, Rosary..."

pretty bad accident? Huh? Guess you really got hurt bad? Huh? Guess 
your car is really totalled? Huh? Guess you really lost control of the

My friend finally said, "No, I intentionally went off the road at 75 miles

Warning: The following may be offensive to woman and/or good beers.


   All right, I recently subscribed to the humor list, and the only thing 
worse than the UNSUBSCRIBE messages(about ten a day) is the list of why 
beer is better than woman that I recieve about five times a day.  My 
solution was to make a new list customed made for this years Winter 
Olympic games. Here goes:


1. A beer won't make you sit through the ice skating competition.
2. It also won't ask dumb questions like "what's a luge."
3. A beer will sit through the whole USA vs. France hockey game on Sunday 
without asking when it will be over. 
4. A beer doesn't ask you why you weren't a good enough skier to try out
for the olympic team.
5. Lastly, a beer won't get mad when you laugh at the sixteen year old 
who just fell flat on her face during the long competition. 


p.s. I realize this doesn't apply to all of you women out there, but for 
those of you that it does I am expecting the pickle list within the next 
couple of days.

"What's the matter?", he asked. 

"In my whole life", she said, "I've never been kissed." 

Not one to mix freely with strangers, the guy reluctantly leans over and
kisses her. "Now, you're kissed."

The next day the guy is walking along the boardwalk and he again meets the 
same women, crying to herself in her wheelchair.

"What's the matter this time?" he wants to know.

"In my whole life", she said, "I've never been fucked." 

Putting exasperation aside, he leans over, and lifts her out of the chair.  He 
takes her to the end of the boardwalk, the sun is setting.  He drops her
<plop> off the pier, into the water. 

"Now", he said,"you're fucked."
