    I apologize for the lack of readability in my previous message, and
    for the rather silly question about how to not get inews's 
    nasty remark. The use of rot, editors, and inews have been explained, 
    and I shan't trouble you no more wid it, naye naye.
 
     
    your reward: a joke all to yourselves, far from the hands of 
    the jokers on net.jokes:
 
    Three guys are standing on the top of the empire state building
    and the first guy turns to the second one there:
    "Did you know that it was a myth tht anybody could ever jump off 
     the empire state building and fall to the  ground? The wind
     currents and aerodynamic drags are too strong. What happens is
     that you fall about ten stories, and then the wind picks you up
     again and you come floating back over the grate, presto."
    
    The second guy says, "No way man, you're nuts."
    So, the first guys says, "alright, I'll bet you fifty dollars
    I can jump over the grate, and be carried back up."
    The second bets him, so the first crawls over the grate and jumps.
    Sure enough, he falls for about ten stories and then gets swept
    back up over the grate back onto the building.
    The second guy says, "I don't believe it.'
    So the first guys says, "alright, I'll bet you another 
    fifty YOU can do it."
    The second guy is reluctant, but then he says, "o.k."
    He climbs over the grate, and jumps. 
    Sure enough, he falls all the way down 120 stories and 
    lands in a nice big splattt. 
    The third guy turns to the first and says,
    "You know, Superman, sometimes you're a real asshole."
