Please send any (and all) that you know. In the future I will post a difinitive list. Now to keep in the tradition of including jokes, here is yet another 'fwactured faiwy tawe'. Once upon a time there was a small village called Tridsville. Oddly enough, all the residents took the epithet 'trid' (don't ask me why, I didn't make it up.) being a rather primitve autocratic society, they had no plumbing. Instead they were forced to rely upon a well up on the top of a hill (aren't they all?) One day a giant appeared on the hill. The trids initially ignored it, but when they tried to get water, the giant kicked them down the hill. Quite disturbed by this, they queeried the giant as to why he would do such a cruel thing. The giant never said a word. This went on for several days, until a passing rabbi stopped in scenic downtown Tridsville. The trids begged the rabbi to find out why the giant kicked them down the hill. The rabbit approached the giant and enquired, "giant, why do you kick the trids down the hill?" Consistently enough, the giant did not utter a syllable. The rabbi thought for a moment, and suddenly a thought struck him (hey, ouch look where you're going!). He again approached the giant and said, "giant, if you kick the trids down the hill, why don't you kick ME down the hill?" The giant finally spoke and said (punchline.. look out for this...): "Silly rabbi, kicks are for trids!" "Life, don't talk to me a bout life..." -Marvin Steve Hawley  !sdh
