Suhre) Newsgroups: net.jokes.d Subject: On retelling Message-ID: <1307@trwrba.UUCP> Date: Tue, 5-Mar-85 11:18:14 EST Article-I.D.: trwrba.1307 Posted: Tue Mar 5 11:18:14 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 8-Mar-85 04:21:46 EST Organization: TRW EDS, Redondo Beach, CA Lines: 15 This isn't quite a flame, but I'm bored with all the postings starting with "The way I heard it was .....". If you were at a party and someone told a joke and everybody laughed (or didn't), would you follow it with "The way I heard it was..."? If you have laughed the first time and someone retells, do you get a good laugh the second time? My answers to the above are no and no, respectively. (hee hee). A little judgment and restraint, please. Maurice {decvax,sdcrdcf,hplabs,ucbvax}!trwrb!suhre
