    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.

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

    Would you please get back in your jug and quit 'blacking' my reputation?
    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 .........

    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.

    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 (*=-
