Well, since Mr. Wallace recognizes good humor (and posts it to this news
group) when he sees it, here's a couple variations:

An Amiga user went into a computer shop and said, "I'd like a dust cover
for Russell Wallace".
"OK", says the salesman, "sounds like a fair swap to me".

What's the difference between the jokes Russell Wallace recently posted
to comp.sys.amiga and a bucket of shit?
A bucket.

What do you call Russell Wallace (in or out of a Volkswagen)?
Whatever you think is appropriate...I would say two possible choices
are:
     jealous  (I assume he does not own an Amiga.)
   NOT funny  (If he recognized real humor he would not have posted
               this crap...or am I the one with no sense of humor?!?!)

What's worse than having to program an Amiga and fuck a pig?
Having to program an Amiga and put up with sifting through this
rather UNfunny @#%$ in the digest!

   Okay, my final question is:  Why would anyone post this stuff to an
   Amiga conference and say not many of us have Amigas?
   Any opinions on this?
