Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 35 Xref: watmath net.singles:5297 net.social:400 net.flame:7575 My vagrant guru, Sidney the Bum on 1st & Cherry, is holding a seminar on TURTLEWAX, the encounter-group religion semi-annual brautwurst & Heinkiken state-of-mind sometime next week, whenenver Sidney (or "Sid", as We The Faithful call him) can get the energy to get started. Registration is limited to the number of Faithful (and as Groucho the Scribe once said, "There's a Faithful born every minute!"); cost is $150/person, $240/couple, or your firstborn male child, after he's housebroken and can do chores. I'll leave you with a few of Sid's mumblings: "TURTLEWAX is the shockproof, water & stain-resistant state-of-mind that works on the assumption that if you say any generality with positive overtones enough, somebody will think you're a genius, quote you and pay you good money for your mouth runoff. If you say things like: 'TURTLEWAX says that LIFE is GOOD! And we should all be HAPPY! And live in PEACE! And have SEX! [Note: the last is thrown in to ignite the interest of those with less altruistic feelings...] TURTLEWAX says you should THINK whenever possible! And that wisdom, charity, generosity and kindness should not be REPRESSED!' We, the visionaries who founded TURTLEWAX, are constantly amazed that there are people out there who think the latter statement is a revelation; however, being not proud or filled with haughtiness, we are not ashamed or afraid to take money from said bozos. So, calling all bozos... "Nun-beating? Good Lord, man, I can't condone THAT!" Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
