Why the hell are we seeing all these stupid limericks? They aren't funny at all. I think I'll start a new newsgroup called mod.jokes - and you can be sure there won't be any dumb limericks like this one in it! (But "frayed not" jokes will be OK.) (So will massacred family jokes.) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) One person's humor is another person's Urgh. To hell with mod.jokes, if it means the end of net.jokes. Truly descriptive titles (for example, not "A Joke"), combined with intelligent use of the "n" key, is a better idea. Jeff Winslow
