Here is a set of samplings from the one-liner file. When processing
submissions, if I see a short joke that is good but doesn't quite merit
a posting of its own, I put it in the one-liner file. I haven't
posted the results for quite some time, so some of these are pretty old.
I have split the file up into 10 chunks of around 300 lines each. Some
newsreaders go crazy and try to "undigestify" this -- beware.

It appears some British newspaper ran a contest to come up with a new
name for the USSR.

inverted U.
This is original.

As we enter the New Year, newspapers across the country are running
lists of what is in and what is out for 1992.
In my local paper, the "in" column included Pee Wee Herman.
It is amazing what a little exposure wil do for some peoples career.

From: denelsbe@cs.unc.edu (Kevin Denelsbeck)
This is courtesy of a friend and classmate, Charles Kurak. I thought it
might be especially appropriate for those of us just beginning new semesters
of work:
Don't keep a negative attitude, such as
"I will not succeed, I will not succeed."
Instead, keep a positive attitude:
"I WILL fail. I WILL fail."

Subject: a suggestion to mapmakers
I just came back from Wal-mart. One of the gift items they had were these nice
globes of the earth. I noted that they had painted Germany as one country
already, but the Baltics, and of course, the Ukraine, were still painted as
part of USSR.
They really ought to sell those with this packet of stickers -- one for each
S.S.R., so that as they break off, you could paste them in.
