What follows are the latest entries in the true news file. 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.

An article in this morning's Tri-Valley Herald (Pleasanton, California) described recent activities of the National Audubon Society to build support for restoring 100,000 acres of wetlands in the San Francisco bay.
Some local activists who have been championing this issue for 40 years fret that the Audubon Society will sweep in, siphon away grants and supporters, and then claim credit for a job already underway and showing signs of success.
The Audubon society president's name is John Flicker.
The name of Audubon's San Francisco bay restoration program director is Debbie Drake.

This morning, November 30, 2002 a Columbus Ohio newspaper ran a story about a library in Ohio that cannot access its own website. It seems the library was named after a prominent businessman in the town who had donated generously to the library.
His name was Leo Flesh. The library installed NetNanny to block porn sites, and it won't let library computers go to the library's website because it is
www.fleshpublic.lib.oh.us.

True Story.
Christmas morning was at my in-law's this year. My sister-in-law (early 30s) got a nice color printer as a present. The brand will remain nameless, but the box was plastered with the phrase "Color Photo Printer." My sister-in-law looks it over for several minutes, reading all sides of the box and finally asks, "Does it print words too?"
I told her it would print a picture of words.
She said she'd kill me if she saw this on the net...
