Here's a real funny joke I received by mistake from the net.police in the
mail this morning. It should have gone to /dev/null.

| Dear Sir or Madam,
|      I am mailing this form letter to express my displeasure at your
| recent posting in net.jokes.  While I am not offended by the content of
| your article (thanks to my broad sense of humor), I *AM* annoyed that you
| are unable to follow simple rules regarding the posting of rotated jokes.
| 
| I personally don't give a rat's ass (excuse me, make that "eng'f nff") if a
| given joke is rotated or not, but the subject line of the joke should correctly
| indicate any rotation.  When you posted your article, you either:
| 
| 	a) Submitted a rotated joke with no mention of "rot13" on the
| 	   subject line,
| 	
| 	b) Submitted an unrotated joke with the word "rot13" in the title, or
| 
| 	c) Submitted a joke that was only partly rotated, forcing unsuspecting
| 	   readers to scan the joke twice.
| 
| Get with it.

I guess things are sort of slow these days over at AT&T in Lisle, Illinois.
Doesn't the Death Star give you anything better to do with your time?
