	It is worth noting that all of the punch lines given so far
to this joke have come (unchanged) from an article that appeared in
the New Yorker Magazine about half a year ago.
	This short article was in search of the proper collective
noun for prostitutes. About twenty suggestions were listed. Since
all of the people adding suggestions to this list have used examples
given in this article, perhaps one of them would save us the agony
of seeing them all one at a time, and post the whole collection
giving credit where credit is due.
	It was a rather funny article, and one that wouldn't suffer
very much being in our medium.


	Allow me now to get up on my soap box again and make a plea
for more original material on the net. Jokes come from some place, why
not brilliant people like you? It is not outside your capabilities.
	If for some reason you feel like posting something you have
heard or read elsewhere, please give credit to your source.
	It is frustrating some times because there will always be
people on the net who will want to tell us again what NASA stands for.
Or will want to go on and on about "No no no, the way I heard it was..."
These things fill up the net with so much garbage that a lot of people
don't have time to hit the "n" key that many times a day. So they
just quit reading net.jokes.
	To sum up, please, please, If everyone who reads this net
came up with one joke per month that was original, even if only one
in ten was any good, we would be a lot better off. Plus the people
who applied themselves to write the original material would excersize
the creative skills a little.
