Below find the most noteworthy of recent submissions regarding the AOL and Time-Warner merger. These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

Now we know the real reason for Ted and Jane's separation: Jane's too much of a babe to ever go out with a guy who has an AOL account.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Top internet service provider America Online Inc. will buy Time Warner Inc., the world's biggest media company, for $160 billion in stock, the companies said Monday....
I guess this means that next time I try to watch a move on HBO, I'll get a busy signal.

With the recent buyout/merger of America Online and Time-Warner, I begin to wonder if CNN is going to begin its broadcasts with "You've Got News!"

>Subject: How the AOL/Time Warner merger really got started
My vision of how the AOL/Time Warner merger *really* was planned goes something like this:
The scene: Steve Case's home in McClean, Virginia. The lighting is oddly dark and menacing, and in addition to the open wine bottle on the table, there are some odd burbling beakers visible in the background ...
Gerry Levin: "So, Steve, what do you want to do tonight?"
Steve Case: "What we do every night, Gerry. Try to take over the world!"
[Note - They're Gerry, they're Gerry and the Case, Case, Case, Case... - ed.]
