(E.g., the Screwtape Letters being sent by special devilery [see recent discussion in net.religion]; and the tornado which tore up a small town in Ontario by the name of Reeses Corners causing the town to change its name to Reeses Pieces.) I think professional comics and their writers are responsible for most of the non-pun "jokes". Dave Sherman Toronto -- {allegra,cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo}!utcsrgv!dave
