Subject: Dear Mom and Dad,
 
Kids at camp write home not thinking of the impact of their words:
 
 
* For example, one tyke wrote: "My counselor said he doesn't think
  the flood waters will come up this high."
                                - - - - -
 
* Another child away from home wrote that they had been taking some
  rather long hikes.  He requested his other sneaker be sent to
  him.
                                - - - - -
 
* A rather short note not saying much was received by two parents:
  "Dear Mom & Dad, They're making us write home.  Love, Thomas" 
                                - - - - -
 
* A fishing novice reported that he had caught a catfish over a
  foot long and hid it in his bunk, but it was beginning to smell.
                                - - - - -
 
* "Dear Mommie, The Doctor said the rash should go away by the time
   camp is over."
                                - - - - -
 
* "Having a wonder time.  We swim, camp, hike and play games.
   After lights out we cry ourselves to sleep every night."
                                - - - - -
 
* "Dear Mom & Dad, Everything's fine except a lot of the girls here
   have dire rear."
                                - - - - -
 
* "Dear Mom, This place is neat.  I've seen some of the biggest
   snakes ever !  How many can I bring home ?"
                                - - - - -
 
* "Dear Mom, I'm hungry all the time.  Please send me more food.
   All they serve here is meals."
                                - - - - -
 
* "Dear Mom, Computer Camp's lots of fun.  My counselor showed me
  how to see what the Army's doing.  Tomorrow we get to read CIA
  stuff."

Subject: Toughest Hooker In The Yukon (adult)
 
One day, after striking gold in Alaska, a Lonesome miner came down
from the mountains and walked into a saloon in the nearest town.
"I'm lookin' for the meanest toughest and roughest hooker in the
Yukon," he said to the bartender.
 
"We got her" replied the bartender. "She's upstairs in the second
room on the right.
 
The miner handed the bartender a gold nugget to pay for the hooker
and two beers. He grabbed the bottles, stomped up the stairs,
kicked the door open on the second door on the right and yelled,
"I'm looking for the meanest roughest and toughest hooker in the
Yukon."
 
The woman inside the room looked at the miner and said, "You found
her!" Then she stripped naked, bent over and grabbed her ankles.
 
"How do you know I want that position first?" asked the miner.
 
"I don't replied the hooker, "but I thought you might want to open
those beers first."

Subject: Trip to Europe <adult>
 
A young woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by
throwing herself into the ocean.  She went down to the docks and
was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young
sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the pier crying.
 
He took pity on her and said, "Look, you've got a lot to live for.
I'm off to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you
away on my ship.  I'll take good care of you and bring you food
every day."
 
Moving closer he slipped his arm round her shoulder and added,
"I'll keep you happy, and you'll keep me happy". The girl nodded
yes. After all, what did she have to lose?
 
That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a
lifeboat. From then on every night he brought her three sandwiches
and a piece of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn.
 
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered
by the captain. "What are you doing here?" the Captain asked.
 
"I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained.
"I get food and trip to Europe, and he's screwing me."
 
"He sure is, lady," the Captain said. "This is the Staten Island
Ferry"

Subject: humor: That famous blue dress <off to Monica>
 
You know, it just dawned on me the FBI is going to have a heck of a
time with Monica Lewinski's stained dress. It was Navy blue -
there's probably been lots of sea men all over it.

Subject: Finding the right girl
 
Manny is almost 29 years old, his friends have already gotten
married, and Manny just dates and dates.
 
Finally a friend asks him, "What's the matter, are you looking for
the perfect woman? Are you that particular? Can't you find anyone
who suits you?"
 
"No," Manny replies. "I meet many nice girls, but as soon as I
bring them home to meet my parents, my Mother doesn't like them. So
I keep on looking!"
 
"Listen," his friend suggests, "Why don't you find a girl who's
just like your dear ole Mother?"
 
Many weeks go by and again Manny and his friend get together. "So
Manny. Did you find the perfect girl yet. One that's just like your
Mother?"
 
Manny shrugs his shoulders, "Yes I found one just like Mom. My
mother loved her, they became fast friends."
 
So do I owe you a Mazel Tov? "Are you and this girl engaged, yet?"
 
"I'm afraid not, my Father can't stand her!"

Subject: It's A Wacky World - #52 (Nudity)
 
           * Endowed with certain unalienable rights... *
             By Anne E. Kornblut, Globe Staff, 08/05/98
 
Katherine Tyrol just wanted to tell the naked truth.  And so, after
slipping into the women's bathroom at the L. L. Bean headquarters
in Maine, she cast aside her tank top and capri pants and sprinted
through the showroom nude - except for the backpack slung across
her back.
 
''I was just kind of sick of the establishment and all that
stuff,'' said Tyrol, 18. ''I think it's really oppressive that the
government decides what part of me has to be covered.''
 
The fast dash through the 24-hour store in Freeport took place at
about 12:30 a.m. last Wednesday, a company spokeswoman said. The
arrest followed a few minutes later. She was charged with indecent
exposure and ordered to return to court Sept. 2.
 
Officials dismissed the incident as a consequence of operating
round-the-clock outlet.
 
''Some customers did happen to be in a position to catch an
eyeful,'' said spokeswoman Catharine Hartnett. ''She never told us
what cause she was supporting.''
 
Tyrol, who graduated from Morse High School in Bath in the spring,
admitted that boredom played a role. She and three friends were in
the store only because ''nothing in Maine is open 24 hours.''
 
But it was partly philosophical, too. Tyrol, a waitress in'
Brunswick, said nudity appealed to her urges to fight the ''really
Puritan'' elements of her hometown of Bath. And she vowed not to be
deterred by the resistance she met last week.
 
''I would like to be naked all the time,'' she said. ''But not at
work. Because then I'd spill things on me, naked, instead of on my
clothes.''

Subject: The REAL Microsoft power toys
 
The following is from the Letters column of the 25 July 1998 issue
of The Economist and is one of the best of the many replies to an
article by Bill Gates that appeared in the same newspaper two weeks
earlier.
 
---
The Economist
Letters
25 July 1998
 
SIR -- Mr Gates's arguments may also be applied to the electricity
utility business. If I were the head of Gas & Electric, the first
thing I would do is declare that we sell energy systems, not power,
and that customers tell us that they want a familiar energy
environment wherever they go. The first step would be to integrate
a smart fridge into the overall energy system as it is the first
appliance opened by most users and real-time monitoring of beer
temperature increases satisfaction with the energy environment for
78% of all customers.
 
Customers would be free to use other fridges, even making someone
else's their default appliance. However, if they try to remove the
Gas & Electric fridge their television and air conditioner might
not function properly. When a circuit fails in an older home we
would repair it with a "service pack" that also installs our
fridge, eventually introducing all customers to our energy
environment.
 
We would also encourage homebuilders to "bundle" our innovative
Laundry Suite into all new home sales. If builders made exaggerated
claims that they could not refuse our Laundry Suite because they
might lose their power connection, I would be required to enforce
our industry standard non-disclosure agreement.
 
For the first six months we would also give away the innovative Gas
& Electric Power Mailbox as part of the Laundry Suite. It not only
receives letters but also records all return addresses, birthdays
and visiting habits of in-laws, scheduling thank-you notes and
utility payments. Of course, the current version of Power Mailbox
takes up half the pavement and all of the attic, disables the fax,
takes 12 minutes to disgorge letters and occasionally freezes
everything in the fridge; forcing one to turn off all the lights,
throw away the frozen fruit and restart dinner. However, attic
space will become much less expensive in the 21st century, we will
soon introduce a new fruit-recovery utility and version 3.0 will
open the mailbox in under two minutes.
 
Once installed, homeowners are not authorized to remove it. Yet, as
it is free we will have saved our customers money compared with
manual mailboxes, making it all but impossible for the authorities
to complain.
 
(Thanks to James Quinn, the letter's author)

Subject: Misunderstanding (sick, adult language, offensive to gays)
 
1. Two faggots were looking at a dog that was sucking its own dick.
   - Gee man, I wish I could do that!
   - Don't you think you should domesticate it first?
 
2. A trafficant gets emprisoned. As he enters his cell, the HUGE
   brawny gay cell-mate welcomes him:
   - Now sweety, we two are going to have sex. Watcha wanna be:
     mommy or daddy? The trafficant turns white, starts trembling &
     says half dead: I guess I'll be daddy...
   - OK. Now suck your mommy's dick!

Subject: Wishes..
 
The richest man in the world knew he was going to die and he wanted
to set up his three children in business.  He asked his oldest son
what he wanted to do.  The boy said he liked cars, so dad bought
him General Motors.
 
Then the dad asked his daughter what she wanted to do.  She said
she liked talking on the phone, so dad bought her AT&T.
 
Now the youngest was only six years old, but dad knew he would
understand. The boy said he wanted a Mickey mouse outfit, so dad
bought him the Dallas Cowboys...

Subject: 2 Racehorses
 
   Two racehorses were sitting in a bar one day reminiscing over
their past triumphs. Both had been very successful but had recently
lost form.
   "I was OK until three weeks ago", said the white horse, "I was
ahead of the field in the last race at Kempton Park, leading by six
lengths as we came into the final straight, and then I got this
incredible searing pain all the way down my back and I stumbled and
fell. Ever since then I havn't been able to run at all."
   "It's funny you should say that", said the black horse, "because
I was running in the last race at Haydock Park two weeks ago, and
the same thing happened to me. I was ahead of the field by five
lengths, and as we rounded the final bend I suddenly felt this
intense stabbing pain all the way down my back, and I stumbled and
fell. I havn't been able to run since then either".
   "Excuse me", said a greyhound who was sitting at the bar beside
the white horse. "I couldn't help but overhear what you have been
talking about. I was running in the last race at Deptford last
week, leading by four lengths, and as we came into the final
straight I got an intense pain down my back and I stumbled and
fell. I have hardly been able to walk since then."
   "Cor! Blimey!", said the white horse, "It's absolutley
incredible. Who would have believed it?  A *talking* dog!"

Subject: The Lock Keeper (Pun)
 
What a terrible job had Herbert. His place of business was Lock No,
3 on the Saint Lawrence Seaway and his only responsibility was to
keep its walls and gates free of scum and all sorts of other smelly
things. Working with a long brush from the top, he would lean out
over the water in the lock at perilous angles in the pursuit of
coagulation.
 
Herb took so many risks that many a yachtsman passing up the lock
would shout up to him to take more care. The warnings only made him
furious, and his well-wishers would be startled by the torrent of
invective coming down to them from above which their words
provoked.
 
Finally the head lock keeper had to post a sign of warning which
read: ...Hell hath no Fury Like a Scum Man Warned.

INSTRUCTIONS
 
While waiting for a prescription, I overheard the pharmacist give
instructions to a man at the counter.  "Take one capsule twice a
day with plenty of water," she said.  "This medication can make
your skin sensitive, so try to avoid exposure to the sun."
 
He gave her a quizzical look and said, "You're new here in Oregon
aren't you?"
