Those who can't teach, teach gym. Note: 1. The first line is indented with a TAB. The second is indented with spaces. This contrast adds appreciably to the humor value. 2. The "..." construct is grammatically incorrect. A tilde would be funnier, but it's not grammatically correct, either. 3. In the first place, it's a stupid joke, since jokes are supposed to have three stages. Well, you can argue that this joke has three stages, but the argument wouldn't be very funny. 4. There is no number 4. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
