Ignore this if someone has suggested it before, but since the
same jokes keep appearing over and over and over and over in
net.jokes, maybe we should just number them to save on transmission
costs.  I can just see it now, Paddy O'Furniture is #1, 
Klingons/Uranus is #2, and the jail joke is number 3.  We should
start now and reserve contiguous blocks of numbers for certain
classes of jokes-- light bulbs from 1000 to 2000, bumber snickers
from 2001 to 3000, and nerdy op codes from 10000 to 20000 hex.
