Cliff Tragedy - Eileen Dover The Tiger's Revenge - Claude Hands The Haunted House - Hugo First This man and this woman are riding next to each other in first class. The man sneezes, pulls out his wang and wipes the tip off. The woman can't believe what she just saw and decides she is hallucinating. A few minutes pass. The man sneezes again. He pulls out his wang and wipes the tip off. The woman is about to go nuts. She can't believe that such a rude person exists. A few minutes pass. The man sneezes yet again. He takes his wang out and wipes the tip off. The woman has finally had enough. She turns to the man and says, "Three times you've sneezed, and three times you've removed your penis from your pants to wipe it off! What the hell kind of degenarate are you?" The man replies, "I am sorry to have disturbed you, ma'am. I have a very rare condition such that when I sneeze, I have an orgasam." The woman then says, "Oh, how strange. What are you taking for it?" The man looks at her and says, "Pepper." Suppose there were no hypothetical situations. A rock band's drummer thought he would make a good policman, he was use to pounding a beat. A man was taken to the polic station and asked to confess, they showed him his fingerprints, and those found at the crime. "But they're whorls apart!" A mafia hitman was taking a poor guy for a ride, a slay ride. While in jail a man worked on his alibiography. The officers busted a picture over a man's head. He was framed. A gasoline carrier is like a polic car, it's a petrol wagon. A dishonest man and a harp struck by lighting are both a blasted lyre. Was he conceited? He's eight feet tall and plays the flute, he's clearly high-flutin'. His wife was a brunnette, he had married a blonde, but then she dyed. The guy's average income was around midnight. The engaged couple had met in a revolving door and started going around together. "What was Mrs Jone's maiden name?" "Why, her maiden aim was to get married." A driver with a truck load a hogs was looking for a porking place. His engine was smoking, but it that was ok, it was old enough. He agreed with the sign, "Fine for parking." A taxi driver is a man who drives away customers. You have to watch out for rattlesnakes, they'll strike, they've form a union. In a farm town the whole nieghborhood was stirred up, spring ploughing. A husband was working in the backyard while his wife lay in bed with a very bad cold. "How's the wife?" "Not so good." "Sorry, is that her coughin?" "Oh, no. This here's a chicken coop." When the pigs back into the electric fence, there is a short circus. A old man who was hard of hearing went into the art museum looking for a forty foot mule. Everyone knows the four seasons are pepper, salt, vinegar, and oil. Everyone knows the moon is really made of silver, it's quarters and halves. A job description, how true? "The principal activities of this senior clerk is to take care of some of the cuties of the commisioner." The politicians three R's, this is Ours, that is Ours, everything is Ours. He owns ten gaoline stations and not one had a roof, no overhead. Cleopatra lived and loved on denial. A wife to her husband, "How come you got insulate?" He's a nice kid, but he can lilac anything. He really liked going to the denist, it was a drilling time. He thought he was twins, his mom had a picture of him as two. He wanted a pet, asked for an octopus, he thought it would be an eight-sided cat. The dog was chasing it's tail, he was trying to make both ends meet. She enjoyed the song in sunday school, it was about a cross eyed bear named Glady. The song was "Gladly the cross I'd bear." At first the dog was named Ben, then it had puppies, now it's Ben Hur. He thought Good Friday was a holiday for the guy who worked with Robinson Crusoe. Dr. Jones fell in the well and died without a moan. He should have tended to the sick, and let the well alone. Ruth rode in my new cycle car in the seat in back of me; I took a bump at fifty-five and rode on Ruthlessly. He who courts and goes away, may court again another day; But he who weds and courts girls still, may go to court against his will. Daffynitions: Fad: In one era and out the other.

When the Czech team skated onto the ice in their new Michael Jackson look team uniforms, the New Polish team (the tallest hockey team ever put into a uniform, averaging slightly more than 3 meters tall) refused to take to the ice. When the referee asked why they would not play the odd looking Czech team the Polish coach Stanislaus Yarchevski said, "We wouldn't touch a BAD Czech with a 10 foot Pole". Nothing really happened during Rev. Swaggart's encounter with the prostitute--all he did was ask her for money. Q: What are the four enemies of Soviet Agriculture?

If 0/N=0, N/N=1 and N/0 is undefined, then what is 0/0? 4. Do fish get thirsty? 3. How do you write zero in Roman numerals? 2. Do vampires get AIDS? 1. Did Adam and Eve have belly-buttons? Here are some of my favorite jokes from the HBO special Jackie Mason On Broadway. Keep in mind that Jackie is a former rabbi. His father and two brothers are also rabbis. "I've got a friend who is half-Jewish and half-Italian. If he can't buy it wholesale, he steals it!" "I've got another friend who is half-Polish and half-Jewish. He's a janitor, but he owns the building!" "I've got another friend who is half-German and half-Polish. He hates Jews but can't remember why!" Did you hear about the accountant who became am embezzler? He ran away with the accounts payable! It is easy to tell the difference between Jews and Gentiles. After the show, all the gentiles are saying "Have a drink? Want a drink? Let's have a drink!" while all the Jews are saying "Have you eaten yet? Let's have coffee and cake!" When most people return from Europe, they tell tales of all the sites they saw, the shopping, the entertainment, etc. Jews, on the other hand, return and say "I had this slice of cake in Austria, let me tell you, I don't know how they make it! It was great!" Subject: Oh, you're just going to shoot your wife??? This morning's Mercury carried an article about the visit of the Royal Stand-ins, Andrew and Fergie, to L.A.'s British Fest. A man was arrested nearby for carrying a rifle. It was subsequently determined that the event was independent of the royal visit, that the man was toting his gun around because of a domestic spat. So he was immediately released, and given back his gun. Tweedledee: Do you know how to save a drowning lawyer? Tweedledum: No... Tweedledee: Good. More stupid robber stories Heard on the radio this morning about a guy who walked into a bank and presented a teller with a note that read "I have a gun. Give me all your money. Bang." The teller gave him the money and he walked out of the bank. He was caught only a short while later. Why? He had written the note on the back of his parole card. The fellow robbed something like a supermarket of about $5000 (value approximate and probably wrong, since it is from fuzzy memory). The local newspaper ran the story, but with the amount given as $7000. The thief called the newspaper to complain about the inaccuracy and to suggest that maybe the store manager ripped off the extra $2000 and was unjustly blaming the thief. The people at the newspaper kept him busy on the phone giving his version of the story while the police traced the call to a phone booth and arrived to arrest him while he was still talking to the newspaper! Here's another one about an unlucky purse snatcher. In the middle of last year, I heard a story about a purse snatcher (in England, I believe) who snatched a woman's purse. Much to his surprise and dismay, he found an arm attached to it after he'd grabbed it. It seems that the woman had a prosthetic arm, and he picked the right (or wrong) arm. Apparently, the guy babbled for quite a while, and the woman called the police, and they picked him up, still babbling. This happened to somebody on jury duty 10-15 years ago. The people who weren't on a case had been excused to go to lunch. Well, when it was time to be back in the room waiting to be called on there were two people missing. Well the bailiff in charge was getting a little annoyed when he got a call from the police who are located in the courthouse. The police said are you missing two of your jurors, so-and-so and so-and-so2? The bailiff said yes. Then the police said, well we have them in jail up here. They were arrested for shoplifting. I heard on the radio this morning about a man who had a small amount of cocaine in his suitcase when he was coming through customs. For some reason, he knew that the customs officials were going to search his bag. So he grabbed someone elses bag off the carousel and went through customs. When the officials opened up the suitcase, they found several pounds of marijuana in it. The original post up here about the theft of the apple laserwriter plus from the computer center here at Carnegie Mellon was, shall we say, somewhat inaccurate. I just happen to be the roomate of the guy who trapped the thief. This is his story (ds6w+@andrew.cmu.edu). By the way, everything you are about to read is TRUE. I was there when it all came down........ Random Info : Baker Hall - One of the BIG academic buildings here. The cluster has 20 sun 3/50's, 20 each Mac and IBM PC's. The laserwriter (called cedar - all andrew printers are named after trees :-)) was stolen from the UCC across campus from Baker. BTW, the UCC cluster doesn't even have macintosh's. You'll understand why this is important later on. Academic Computing - the people who run the clusters and hire the PCons (ie Don) (voiceover the dragnet theme): On Jan 16, at approximately 2:00 am, a $4,000 laserwriter printer was stolen >from the main computing cluster of CMU. As the printer was not alarmed and unwatched, the suspect simply walked in and carried it off. Witnesses described the suspect as a black male, 6'2", very heavily built and "mean looking". This is the story of how that printer was recovered. My name is Don Snow. I'm a computer hacker. (Dragnet theme: dum, ta-dum, dum) By Jan 16, 2:00, the word was out on all the bulletin boards. I was at my usually scheduled post in the Baker Hall computer cluster. I worked until 6:00. My replacement was late, so I had to wait until they rotated somebody over to relive me. At approximately 5:30, I received a strange phone call: me: Baker hall, what can I do for you? voice: are you in front of the printer right now? me: no. voice: can you get to the printer while still on the phone and still be in front of a mac? me: no, there is no mac next to this printer voice:ok, thanks, (whispered to people on the other side) just be quiet and call security, I'll handle this. [disconnected] Obviously, something was up. (dum, ta-dum, dum) At 5:50, received visit from campus security. Officer explained meaning of phone call. Suspect had called the main computing center, claiming to be the consultant in Baker Hall, asking how to hook up an apple laserwriter printer to a macintosh. The call to me confirmed the fact that he was not the consultant, because it was impossible to be on the phone and in front of a mac and in front of the printer in Baker Hall as the suspect claimed. (dum, ta - dum, dum daaaaa) The word went out to all clusters who had laserwriters to be on the lookout for a phone caller asking about laserwriters. At 6:20, I received another call: me: baker hall, how can I help you? voice: yeah, I'm the consultant over at the main computer center, and I need to restart the laserwriter for the macintosh. I'm getting this strange error message. Can you help me? me: sure, let me get the manual. I then put my hand over the receiver and whispered "security" to my friend sitting next to me, who immediately got up and ran out of the cluster. I then began to stall the person on the other line. me: now, what is the error message? voice: unauthorized password failure. me: sounds bad. let me look it up. (5 minute pause of holding the receiver) me: no there's nothing here...oh, I see why. This is the dinky users manual and not the reference manual. hold on. (5 minute pause) me: ok, I got the right one, here we go. I'm looking at the index now. me: hold on, I have to help a user. (5 minute pause) me: ok, I think I know what the problem is. You probably have the print options configured wrong. voice: no, I have all the options under print right me: do you have the reduced bit map set? voice: that is not on the menu me: its on a secondary menu (I then begin to have him toggle all the print options. Security arrives and begins phone trace) (later, after toggling about 5 print options) voice: what do you mean, try setting the font substitution? that should have nothing to do with the password. me: (I begin to spew out technical garbage) Actually, it might. the problem might be that the fonts you are using are not standard, and thus, the mac is giving the printer a non-standard password which the laserwriter doesn't understand. voice: but I'm using "times" font! that has to be standard! me: (calmly) yes, but the version of "times" from the MacDraw document may an old version and therefore be outdated and thus in a non-standard form than that of the laserwriter, which is thus expecting the standard print toggle from the mac. Toggling the font substitution would tell the mac to send the codes to the printer triggering the printer to be ready to receive non standard fonts, and thus allow a smooth transfer of your document from mac to printer. try it. voice: OH, i see now. let me do it. no, it still isn't working. me: er, hold on, I have to help another user. (5 minute pause) [disconnected] Total elapsed time of stall: 40 minutes. Phone trace: successful. On Jan 18, suspect was arrested in possession of printer, along with $20,000 more stolen computer hardware. Suspect made full confession. Case closed (dum, ta - dum, dum daaaa, da da da dum!) Inscription on gold plaque from Academic Computing: "Presented to Donald Snow in recognition of his invaluable assistance in the recovery of the LaserWriter stolen from the UCC cluster on January 16, 1988. Don's impersonation of a helpful user consultant held the thief on the phone long enough for a successful phone trace." ---------------------------------------------------- Nay, lad! *Deciding's* not your ploy, For that's a risky game.

The students had filed into the auditorium, and picked up their blue-books for the test. This particular class had been in aviaian biology and identification. The professor was known to give very difficult finals, and weighed them heavily in the grade. Looking down to the table in the front of the room, the students saw several stands with stuffed and mounted birds. They could see that they were birds, as the feet were visible below the burlap sacks that had been placed over them. And beside each was a small sign with a number. The bell rang, the professor allowed a moment for the noise to die down, and them addressed the class. "Todays final will count, as you know for a large percentage of the grade. But the directions for the test are simple. You are to identify each of the birds on the table before you. Write the number, and the latin and common name of the creature associated with it, on your paper. When you have completed the identifications, you may leave. Begin.", and with that he sat down. One of the students, a few rows back from the front gestured for the profs attention, and asked a question, "Uh, professor, are you going to remove the sacks so we can see the birds?". "No... If you've been following the lectures through the term, you should be able to identify each of them by its feet alone. You should have realized the areas that I was stressing, in class and in the reading assignments." The student, becoming a little alarmed, "You mean, you expect us to be able to know one of these from the others just by its feet. That's unreasonable." "I'm sorry you're dismayed by this test. Perhaps if you'll begin it'll go better than you expect, and then the others can begin also." "No, this is absurd. I'm not going to take this test. This is outrageous. I'm leaving." And the student begins to gather up his pencils, and day-pack. "If you're leaving, tell me your name, so I can mark you off in my The irate student, holding up his feet so the prof can see them, replies, "YOU FIGURE IT OUT!" ---------------------------------------------------- Cromwell and Rasputin by as submitted to Dr. Richard King The following essay was an actual submission by a stu- dent, who was given the assignment: ``Write a term paper comparing and contrasting two revolutionary figures of your choice. The figures are to be selected from different periods of European history.'' Unlike most papers of student bloopers, which are col- laborative efforts, this one is the work of the exception- ally fruitful pen of a single student. Read it and enjoy! The English and the Russian revolutions had a leader that stood out to have an effect on the revolution. For the Russian it was Rasputin. He was born in the reign of the Tsar-Emperor Alexander the Second, absolute ruler of over a hundred million people consisting of fifty some nationali- ties and speaking nearly two-hundred-different languages or dialects. This empire stretched from the Prussian border to beyond the Pacific Ocean. Rasputin was an Autocrat who ruled by himself. He was free to appoint and dismiss minis- ters as he pleased. Then theirs Oliver Cromwell, a man who stood for the commission of the unthinkable act, the execu- tion of the king, should have pushed the Commonwealth and its leaders into further international isolation. These were some of the issues that Oliver Cromwell drived for in the English Revolution. Cromwell was dominant political figure from 1649 to 1658. He had lead the attack on the king and had many followers and support. These twoffigures, Rasputin and Oliver Cromwell, ha had great emphasis on the outcome of their revolutions (Russian and English). Lets look at some similarities and differences on how they ruled their reign of power. Cromwell was a careful figure who ruled intil his death in 1658. He lead an organization of parliament forces of centralized army called the new model army. Cromwell was an independent so he was frightened of parliament changing religion. Cromwell had faith in his reign, he believed that Parliament couldn't win the civil war if they didn't try someting different. Rasputin was also a careful and powerful leader. When Nicholas went to the front to take personal command of the army, his wife Alexandra took over government affairs and relied on Rasputin almost completely. So Rasputin also con- trolled an army and became a successful leader. Although he was killed by the people, it was because of the sake of the - 2 - people in Russia. They felt that he was discrediting Nicho- las II. Rasputin was such a key role in ruling the army, Alexandra went into shock because of the death of Rasputin. Oliver Cromwell was born in 1599. He immediately took interest in public affairs. After he had become an under- graduate at Cambridge, his father fied which brought him back home to take care of his mother and the family. He also took over his fathers business which was the management of land. Later he had experienced a change of religion to the Puritan side. He was respected so much by his neigh- bours from his management of land, that they choose him to represent Huntington in the Parliament which described itself by the Petition of Right. Cromwell, however, was known to have interest in religion before politics. He had never really been able to hankle constitutional questions, and was opposite as a whole to them. Rasputin, however, was also a very religious man. He went to early mass at six o'clock in the morning at Afonskoe Podvorie. He was so admirred, that on the way back from mass there would be a crowd of followers behind him, who accompanied him into the dining room for breakfast. Among these guests were petitioners who arrived around eight o'clock. Rasputin was always called upon by Tsarskoe Selo at ten o'clock, even thought he was usually sleeping by this time. A secret came out that Rasputin was prepared to carry out various transactions, arrange reals of military ser- vices, get sentences of imprisonment released, or dispose of the granting of concessions. While known that Rasputin was open for bribes, also took into consideration the help of petitioners who came to him with nothing. These two leaders, and their different personalities make them both uneque. These two leaders had great effect on the outcome of their revolutions. Even though their techneques were not exactly alike they had similarities in their personal behavior and their beliefs. These two fig- ures reigned at two different times and are also two dif- ferent people in most respects. A Young mother was once again pregnant and trying to explain to her little girl how she had got this way. She explained how a baby was growing in her tummy, and how it took and egg and a sperm. Daddy made the sperm, and mommy made the egg. So the little girl asks, "so if it takes a sperm and an egg to make a baby, and the egg is already in your tummy, then how doest the sperm get in there. Does mommy swallow it?" Her mother replys.."She does if she wants a new cocktail dress." One of the ways farmers get bulls to mate with cows is to stick their fist up the cow's vagina and move it around, thereby getting the smell etc on their hand. The farmer then wipes the excretion under the Bull's nose. The bull gets excited, erect, and voila, they mate. Well, this farmer has been unable to get it up for his wife for the last month or so. He just can't get excited. So he's lying in bed next to his mate, who's fallen asleep, and he decides to see if the aforementioned technique will work with humans. So he sticks a couple of fingers in his wife's vagina and moves it around and around. He then takes his hand and wipes under his nose with it. Sure enough, he gets erect, turns on the lights, and quickly wakes his wife up, so that he can have sex with her. She rolls over, looks at him, and angrily says: "You woke me up just because you got a bloody nose?!" a man goes to the doctor for a yearly examine & notices that his hair is thining so he asks the doc if there is anything he can do & the doc says no. so he stops for a drink on the way home & asks the bartender who says "this might not work but i have heard that a womans juices & cum can bring your hair back but i've never tried that." so being a divorced man, he calls his ex-wife up for a date but at first she declines as it's her time of month. then remembering how she likes adult movies but won't go alone, so he persuades her. during the movie, he gets her turned on & eventually puts his hand up her dress & fingers her. then her secretly rubs his hand on his head. he continues to do this till his head is all tingly. as the movie is over & the house lights come on, one blub burst & the glass hits a lady sitting behind out man, she brushes it off then see the man, she points & screams "my gawd, he's been shot in the head!!"

Crime has left a wretched taste in the mouth of a young thief. Seattle police said the 14-year-old made a tactical blunder while attempting to siphon gas from Dennis Quigly's motor home last Tuesday. "Apparently, the suspect was attempting to steal gasoline and got the sewage tank instead," Officer Tom Umporowicz reported. Quigly, of Bellingham, was parked near 14th Avenue South and South Concord Street. He was inside his motor home about 1am when he heard peculiar noises outside and phoned police. When Umporowicz arrived, he found a garden hose hanging from the sewage tank, left by someone who had sucked on the end to create a siphon. Umporowicz also noted a large quantity of untreated sewage on the ground and a trail, left by the culprit, who threw up what he ingested. The officer followed the trail to a nearby car and found the teen-age boy curled up and retching. Please, the boy asked the officer, call the medics. The boy was not arrested. Quigly declined to file a complaint, figuring the boy had been punished enough. "It's the best laugh I've ever had," Quigly told police.

For those of you who know nothing about the Campanile incident at Iowa State, here's a brief history. In more-or-less the middle of campus of Iowa State University there sits a carillon tower, which is more-or-less a tower with a bunch of bells that can played somewhat like a piano. Up until this year, a carillonneur would play the carillon every week day from 12:00 pm to 12:15 pm. However, due to !@#%ing budget cuts, no carillonneur was hired to replace the gentleman who retired last year. Soooo, a deejay from a local radio station here in Ames, Iowa decided to lock himself in the tower until he received enough donations to pay a part-time carillonneur to play from 12 to 12:15 pm, which came to $10,000. The man raised the money within 5 days and came out on Tuesday, September 24, 1991. That being said, you are now adequately prepared for my Top Ten list. TOP TEN REASONS TO LOCK YOURSELF IN THE CAMPANILE 10. Publicity stunt to increase listening audience for your radio station 9. Enjoy "look-and-feel" of being behind bars 8. Want to soak up sympathy from the babes 7. You're not _really_ locked in there, it just _looks_ that way 6. Better to be in there than on the funny farm 5. Wanted to try that T-1000 trick of walking through bars you saw in "Terminator 2" 4. Don't have anything better to do (Get a life!) 3. Wanted to raise money for a worthy cause: yourself 2. You've locked yourself in, and you can't get out! 1. Your face rings a bell One more detail: the entrance to the Campanile is like an iron gate, thus the reference to the bars. While out Looking For A Place To Hunt: (supposedly true) A carload of hunters, looking for a place to hunt, pulled into a farmers yard. The driver went up to the farmhouse to ask permission to hunt. The old farmer said, "Sure you can hunt, but would you do me a favor? That old mule standing over there is 20 years old and sick with cancer, but I don't have the heart to kill her. Would you do it for me?" The hunter said, "Sure," and headed for the car. While walking back, however, he decided to pull a trick on his hunting buddies. He got into the car and when they asked if the farmer had said OK, he said "No, we can't hunt here, but I'm going to teach that old cuss a lesson." With that, he rolled down his window, stuck his gun out and blasted the mule. As he exclaimed, "There, that will teach him!" a second shot rang out from the passenger side. And, one of his hunting buddies shouted, "I got the cow!" Three old ladies were sitting around a table. The first says, "I'm getting so forgetful- this morning I was standing at the top of the stairs and I couldn't remember whether I was going down or had just come up." The second lady says, "You think that's bad? The other day I was sitting on my bed and I couldn't remember whether I was going to sleep or getting up." The third lady smiles smugly. "Well, I have no memory problems at all, knock wood." She raps the table. "Who's there?" Saddam Hussein's Top Ten Birthday Activities (Late Night With David Letterman - 4/30/91) 10.

Ella McPherson was a little naive about the ways of the world, and found that eventually she had to attend a gynecologist. The conversation went something like this... EM: Hi doc, I've never been to gynecologist before and I must admit that I am a little apprehensive. MD: That's ok. Most women have this problem for a while. The first thing that I want you to do is strip from the waist down. EM: WHAT!?! Are you sure. MD: Absolutely. I *am* a doctor and I need to be able to see you. EM: Ok. I guess so. MD: Right. Next, I want you to lie on that table over there. EM: Are you sure? MD: Yes. Remember I studied for many years and I *know* what I am doing. EM: Ok. MD: Now spread your legs and put them in these stirrups. EM: Wait a minute, surely this can't be necessary!? MD: Yes it is. I will allow me better access and will make the procedure simpler and quicker. EM: Ok I guess so, I mean you *are* a doctor. MD: Now, this instrument in called a speculum [guys, if you don't know what this is, ask a girl - it will make the joke much funnier] and it is *VERY* cold. When I stick it in, it is likely to feel a little strange and might even hurt a bit. Would you like me to numb you first? EM: Yes please doctor! So the doctor sticks his head between her legs and goes... NUM, NUM, NUM, NUM, NUM One day in Norsegard (the Norwegian heaven, I think), Thor, the god of thunder, being bored with heavenly existence decided that a quick trip to earth would help alleviate some of this boredom. Traveling incognito, except for his trusty hammer, Thor came across a buxom blond (what else?) and suggested that some mutual cohabitation of a degenerate degree would be helpful to both parties concerned. The blond, not saying anything, and impressed with the size of Thor's hammer, nodded her agreement. They cohabitated for three days and Thor returned home. Upon his arrival, Odin grabbed Thor and reprimanded him: "No problem sleeping with mortals, but you should go back and tell her your name." Thor returned to earth, went up to the girl's house, knocked, and when she answered said: "I'm Thor." To which the girl lisped in reply: "You're thore, I'm tho thore I can hardwy pee!" There are three kinds of sex in a marriage. First is Kitchen Sex. This is at the beginning of the marriage, you'll have sex anywhere, anytime. Hence, in the kitchen. Second kind is bedroom sex. You've calmed down a bit, perhaps have kids, you gotta do it in the bedroom. Third kind is hallway sex. This is where you pass each other in the hallway and say "Fuck you." There is also a fourth kind of sex: Courtroom sex. This is when you get divorced and your wife fucks you in front of everyone in court. HP and Motorola decided to have a boat race, on the Thames, following the famous Oxford vs Cambridge course. Both teams practiced hard, and came the big day, they were as ready as they could be. HP won by a mile. Afterwards, the Motorola team were very downhearted, and a decision was made that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a working party was set up to investigate and report. Well, they had everybody on the working party, Sales, Systems Engineering, Marketing, Customer Education, Field Service, the whole lot, and after 3 months they came up with the answer, and the working party co-ordinator gave his summary presentation. "The problem was", he said, "that HP had 8 people rowing and 1 steering, whereas we had 1 person rowing and 8 steering." The working party was then asked to go away and come up with a plan to prevent a recurrence the following year, for Motorola's pride had been damaged, and another defeat was not wanted. 2 months later, the working party had worked out a plan, and the coordinator gave his (customarily brief) summary-- "The guy rowing has got to work harder" From brennan@coco.cchs.su.oz.au Thu Sep 26 18:24:36 1991 From: brennan@coco.cchs.su.oz.au Newsgroups: rec.humor Subject: Graffiti!!!!!!!

The bear turns to the rabbit and asks conversationally: "You ever have a problem with shit sticking to your fur?" The rabbit, smugly, replies: "Nope, never." The bear says "Good to hear it," picks up the rabbit and wipes his ass with the bunny. Q: What's clear and smells like carrots? A: Bunny farts. Q: How do you catch a unique rabbit?

Either e. e. cummings of Oscar Wilde, I don't remember who There's this park with a bunch of rabbits in it. This one rabbit is practicing multiplication. He's going along -- wham, bam, thank you, ma'am; wham, bam, thank you, ma'am; wham, bam, thank you, ma'am; Sorry, Sam! The next day he's making the rounds of the females again -- wham, bam, thank you, ma'am; wham, bam, thank you, ma'am; wham, bam, thank you, ma'am; OH DAMN! Turns out this park also has some little statues of rabbits.... What do you get when you pour boiling water down a rabbit hole? Hot cross bunnies! How long is a hare on a rabbit? About 5 seconds. I guess it works better verbally. Typing it kills the pun. ============================================================================ An Avon lady was driving down the road, when she hit a bunny rabbit. She became absolutely horrified with the idea that she may have killed the rabbit. So she grabbed a spray bottle out of her Avon bag, and ran out to check on the rabbit. "Well, thank goodness the rabbit is still breathing, but it's unconscious!" She then sprayed the contents of the bottle on the rabbit. It almost immediatley opened its eyes, got up, and ran away. The Avon lady got back in her car, and as she looked out the window, she saw the the rabbit wave at her. She waved back, and drove away. A week later, the Avon lady drove down the same road, and thought to herself, "Hey, this is the same place where I hit that rabbit last week!" Oddly enough, there was the rabbit at the side of the road, in the same spot, waving to her! She reached into her bag to see what she had sprayed on the rabbit, and the label said: "PERMANENT WAVE FOR DAMAGED HAIR" Q: How do you catch a 'unique' rabbit? A: You (s)neak up on it. Q: How do you catch a tame rabbit? A: The tame (same) way. I know they're stupid but I know a cute blonde that laughs everytime she hears them. You will have heard of the rabbit who washed his thing and couldn't do a hare with it. "If you're sad, get a bunny, If you're sad, get a bunny, 'Cause bunnies go hop! hop! 'Cause bunnies go hop! hop!
