Er, Dick, how did you figure that there are only a few of you `that
seem to appreciate satirical humor'? There may be zillions of
net.jokers out there who *did* note the satire (like me) but did not
mail you about it (like me).

On another note, I think the fact that a joke is in rot13 seems to have
a kind of appeal in itself, i.e. the more you want someone not to do
something the more that person will try to do it.  I read *ALL* the rot
jokes, sometimes *JUST* because they are in rot13.  (I occasionally get
offended, but I never blame anyone except myself...)
