San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 51 {For exterminator's use} St. Patrick's day is coming, and I would like to warn people new to net.jokes that there is a certain Irish joke that is always posted this time of year. It seems that everyone who was not on the net the previous St. Patrick's Day posts this very same joke. Everyone else then has to either bear with this joke or press the "n" key thousands of times. Last year I had to have my terminal repaired just to fix the "n" key. So as a public service I am posting that boring Irish joke in order that this joke will not appear on the net until March 1985. Before I tell this joke I wish to apologize to anybody who is Irish who may be offended by this joke. I also want to express my sincere condolences to anyone who laughs at this joke. The boring joke: What is Irish and sits out in the rain? Patty O'Furniture (patio furniture) Now there is no excuse for anyone to post this joke again.
