     :-) is a smiley face.  Just turn your monitor 90 degrees to see the
eyes ":", nose "-", and mouth ")".  Likewise, :-( is a sad face.  Someone
on rec.humor must have 200 of these in a canonical list.  You use :-) to
show sarcasm, irony, or to say "Hey, only kidding!"

     IMHO is "In My Humble Opinion" and means "I know I'm right" :-)
