FOOD FOR THOUGHT
=================================================================
For Centuries our people have been the victims of intolerance. The
price of our freedom is the burden of having to accept the worst in
public expression. For he who starts censorship will never know where
and when to stop.
-- Philippe Kahn

OL'WDB'S COLUMN - WARREN BONNER
=================================================================
You know you are living in the year 2003 when...
wdbonner@pacbell.net
Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do
not have e-mail.
You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn
so she can create a screen saver.
You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if
anyone is home.
Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom
of the screen.
You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of date and sells
for half the price you paid.
Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have
the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for
panic and you turn around to go get it.
Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase
would be a hassle and take planning.
You just tried to enter your password on the microwave!
You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.
Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.
You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls. (DSL or
cable modem solves this problem!)
You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if
you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on
your way back to bed.

CLEAN HUMOUR & JOKES
=================================================================
FUNNYS FER YA
wdbonner@pacbell.net
A blonde and a redhead met in a bar after work for drink,
and were watching the 6 O'clock news. A man was shown threatening to
jump from the Brooklyn Bridge.
The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump,
and the redhead replied, "I'll take that bet!" Anyway, sure enough,
he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owed.
The redhead said "I can't take this, you're my friend."
The blonde said "No. A bet's a bet". So the redhead said
"Listen, I have to admit, I saw this on the 5 O'clock news,
so I can't take your money".
The blonde replied, "well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump
again!"
>>>>>>><<<<<<<<
>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:
What makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than
100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give
over 100%. How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer
these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is
represented as:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
FIDONEWS 20-25 Page 4 23 Jun 2003
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
and
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you:
A-S-S--K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%
So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While, Hardwork and Knowledge will get you close, And, Attitude
will get you there, Bullshit and Ass Kissing will put you over the
top!
<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
Two Arabs are standing outside a shop on a rough rubble road
chatting to each other.
One Arab pulls out his wallet and begins to flip through some
family pictures. "Here's my wife. Oh, and this is my oldest,
Abdullah. He's a martyr. Oh, and here's my second son, Mohammed,
he's a martyr too."
Then there is a pause...
The second Arab nods his head and says wistfully,
"Ah, they blow-up so fast these days don't they?"
>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<
FEMALE PRAYER:
Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man,
who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
When he says he'll call, he won't wait weeks.
pray that he is gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And never attempt to hit on my friend.
And as I kneel and pray by my bed,
I look at the one you sent me instead.
Amen.
MALE PRAYER:
FIDONEWS 20-25 Page 5 23 Jun 2003
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a
liquor store.
Amen.
Warm Regards,
Ol'wdb

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
probably quite OK...
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..
Ideas for Subject areas:
Subject File | Subject File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net

Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
Best of Fidonet *.bof |
If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.
