She may have said it, but that doesn't necessarily make it so Bob. Ann has
quite a unique gift for saying things that aren't quite so, you know.

Hey..........................Bobby.....................

In many cultures the mentally deficient are known as "innocents".

Mentally deficient indeed! Harumph! -=*) ANN (*=-

P.S. Remember the TV program I dream of Jeannie and she came out of a jug
too? Well, she certainly was no innocent either. All she did was try to
seduce Larry Hagman! I'd never try to seduce Larry Hagman. Arnie maybe, but
not Larry Ugh!

        Upon hearing those sobering words, Ann the ancient snapped back into
reality. She knows now she is no spring chicken. She knows now attempts at
other men will always be futile. She knows now that "Love Is Blind" and only
Whitey could ever love her.
        She cries in anquish to the great god rod. Nothing happens. She
falls to his feet lamenting. The great god rod, who knows when to quit,
silently backs away and vanishes.
        Cliff, who can not stand pityful sights, in disdain quickly turns
his head, motions for Sandy his beloved angel, and the two of them leave
the despicable, contemptible, worthless display of pity and remorse no man
has ever seen before.
        Todd Reeks follows close behind his two idols.
        Ann, all alone, unable to face reality sticks her head in the
toilet, grabs the handle, readies herself for the 'final flush'. Before the
toilet handle reached its complete cycle ...... a bright flashing light
filled the room. Ann pulled her head out. She wiped the water from her face.
She wiped one more time. "Who could that be?" she thought. "Jeannie is that
you?"
        The voice answered .........

a veteran user like Paul Savage?

I think the following people do not deserve to be part of the "Apollo
Elite":

Ralph Blehm (I don't know him)
Beauregard Dog (He didn't think the tax tapes were funny)
Jack Flash (Not his real name)
Alan Hamilton (Thinks he's clever but isn't)
James Hawley (Fat, bearded, phlegmatic)
Steve MacGregor (Works for "Flying Buffalo")
Dean McCarron (Stereotypical nerd)
Chris Neal (Just a little kid)
Ann Oudin (Muddlehead)
Peter Petrisko (Even worse muddlehead)
Pat Stoddard (Left-wing kook)

I also think Paul Savage should be on this SIG.  And I think Rich Fohl and
Larkin Smith should have honorary memorial $tatus and should be recognized
posthumously as part of the Apollo Elite.

Of course the grasshopper didn't respond (by jumping as in the previous
test), because it had NO legs.  The same could be said of cutting the head
off of the grasshopper.  Before cutting the head off, a tuning fork was
sounded and the grasshopper jumped.  After the head was cut off, the
grasshopper didn't respond.  Therefore the head must contain the hearing
sense.

A good price, but I just don't think buying air line tickets and the time
spent to get down there are worth it.  I am happy with the $2.50 price
within walking distance of my house.

In the paper this morning: Seems these Condo owners are filing suit to be
able to use their back door! It is easier for them to use the back door when
entering from the parking lot. The neighbors are complaining they are
wearing an unsightly path in the grass by doing so. The Condo manager told
them they had to stop. So, they are going to take it to court to see if a
judge will grant them permission to use it legally in the Condo they bought
- costing thousands of dollars! My subject title explains this perfectly.

I see in the paper that a near pool drowning happened in your neighborhood?!
It said it happened in a mobile home park on 69th lane north of Greenway!
Did you know the lady? (A grandmother)

For those of you that believe that pools should be fenced - the article
stated "the pool was ringed with a 3 1/2 foot hign fence with a self locked
gate and the yard was fenced with a 6 foot fence! But someone left the gate
open to the pool! A HUMAN error! -=*) ANN (*=-
