true-life stories which didn't really warrant individual posting, but
which are amusing nevertheless. The digest is quite long, and it will

Subject: Security Check
[From the 1991/1/30 issue of Dagbladet, Oslo, Norway. -Bjoern]
Mr Trygve Hildebrand, director of a psychiatric clinic, had to escort
someone aboard an airliner. With the increased security at the
airports, due to the increased terrorist threats, he expected to be
asked to show some identification, so he took with him two letters.
Letter number 1:
CONFIRMATION
It is hereby confirmed that my name is Trygve Hildebrand, born
1940/12/22 and director of the Children's Psychiatric Clinic,
Gravdal Hospital at Lofoten.
Gravdal 1991/1/15
Trygve Gravdal
Director
The letter was rejected, but his second letter, signed by his
secretary, was accepted by the security guards.

Subject: Re: Shit Stories
Told to me by a member of the lacrosse team:
At one of the many lacrosse after victory parties, a friend was introduced to
a very pretty yougn lady. After a few hours of conversation and incredible
amounts of alcohol, he asked if she would like to "go up stairs". She
responded affirmatively, and followed him up to his room.
After a short while, she told him to make love to her. Like anyone
concerned about safe sex, he attempted to put on a condom, while kneeling
in front of the naked young lady.
All of a sudden, he felt the urge to vomit come over him, which he did
right onto her chest. Apparently, he passed out here, as he was unable to
relate any further events of that evening.
Come the next morning, he awoke with a terrific hangover. He also noticed
that there was a strange odor pervading the air. As he got up to look around,
he noticed a HUGE pile of shit on his chest. There was a note on it
which read, "I hope you know how pissed I had to be to actually SHIT on you..."

Subject: Heard in a 2nd year student terminal room....
Heard in a 2nd year student terminal room:
<Student A> "How can I change the time-stamp on one of my files?"
<Student B> "You can only do that if you log in as 'Root'."
<Student A> "Oh. I guess I can't do it. Wait! Remember that program I
wrote in high school to simulate a login screen? Whenever
someone logged on, my program saved their password for me to
use later! All I have to do is write a program like that
and wait for the 'Root' to login!"
Hmmmmm. I think they might be waiting a while for Mr. Root to walk into a
student terminal room to login :-)

To heck with that inner child, let's work on discovering and

Subject: the meaning of oral sex.
A ten year old kid attended a birthday party at his apartment building. His
mom sent him off and everything would be great. Not so. The kid came back
to his apartment in five minutes. When he got home, he sought out his older
brother and asked him in privacy, "Hey Billy, what's oral sex?"
"Well, Dave. Oral sex is the opposite of written sex, if you read about it,
its written sex. If you talk about it, it's oral sex."
Soon after, the younger dude approached his mom in dissapointment. She asked
him what was the matter. He said, "The party was so damn boring, everyone was
just sitting around having oral sex!"

antipasto salad.
R: We have no sausage sandwiches.

Subject: How to Stop Procrastinating
This is taken from a review article in the Times Literary Supplement
printed on January 22, 1982, by George Steiner, on the life and work of
Hungarian radical Georg Lukacs:
"When I first called on him, in the winter on 1957-8, in a house still
pockmarked with shellbursts and grenade splinters, I stood speechless
before the armada of his printed works, as it crowded the bookshelves.
Lukacs seized on my puerile wonder and blazed out of his chair in a
motion at once vulnerable and amused: `You want to know how one gets
work done? It's easy. House arrest, Steiner, house arrest!'"

Subject: A Quality report?
From a draft copy of a Student project group report (quoted exactly):
Quality exelence is best achieved by preventing problems rather than
recifying them after they occure. it is the aim of the company toproduce
zero defects by getting it rigt first time.
(Quoted with permission from Mike Barter who wrote it.)

Subject: obviously
Recently, in a physics class, we were working out a rather complex problem.
Our teacher showed us two equations and said that the step from equation A
to equation B is obvious.
One of the student raised his hand and asked, "Why is it obvious?"

Subject: 'This is funny tasting coffee.'
This was read on the radio this morning, citing the January issue of
_American Spectator_ as the source. Apparently another unnamed
magazine was later reported to have also carried the story.
At some type of establishment with a coffee urn available to patrons an
earthy taste has been in the coffee for about four months. They tried
changing brands of coffee, new coffee pots, etc. etc. until the true
cause was found. A deliveryman has been found to be urinating in the
coffee urn, causing the unusual taste.
The legal outlook for this guy is considered bleak unless he can be
shown to be a practicer of one of the up-and-coming Hindu Urine Cults
now growing in this country.

Subject: Causes of the Civil War
This was heard during a pledge break on our Public TV station WQED-TV Pittsburgh
during a recent showing of the documentary "The Civil War".
"...and we'd especially like to thank all of our members
who right now feel very proud to know that it was
people like themselves who made the Civil War happen..."
I'm not sure whether to agree or disagree...

Subject: Humorous Airline Speech
The recent posting from a SouthWest Airlines ad reminded me of an incident
which occurred on my last SouthWest flight back from Las Vegas.
The flight crew was going through the normal pre-flight 'safety' speech,
and of course no one was paying attention. Out of the corner of my ear
I heard
If you are sitting next to a child or someone who is acting like
one, please secure your own mask before assisting them with theirs.
I looked up in surprise at the stewardess with the microphone, who saw
my look and smiled. Looking around the plane, I think I was the only one
who caught it...
