[Naw, I don't really believe there's a line-eater.]             really believe there's a line-eater.                                    

   A recent posting from Tom Jaskiewicz (in article 113@alliant) tells the
story of an English woman inquiring about the W.C at her new lodgings in
a foreign country (I won't repeat it all).  This story actually goes a long

way back, with a certain notoriety.  At one time Jack Paar was host of the
Tonight Show, and got (temporarily) kicked off the air for telling a
version of this story.  

   Here's another remark that got someone kicked off the air for a
while.  This was Harry Caray, a Chicago sportscaster (baseball).  Several
year ago, on radio, he said something like this:
           In the stands here I see a young couple who must
           be in love -- they're kissing on every pitch.  He's
           kissing her on the strikes, and she's kissing him
           on the balls.
