Scene: Kurt the net terrorist has just threated the net with the
ultimate weapon: the canonical list of lightbulb jokes. Jeff and the
rest of the software gang are held at bay by Kurt's finger on the
return key...

... and as Kurt hits the return key, suddenly the news feed is cut off,
and their vax crashes with a blaze of light as the jokes unleash their
power locally posted...

Kurt: (dazed) What happened?

Jeff: (smiles knowingly) This couldn't have been a Fluke.
	A UNIX Wizard must have wielded the farce to stop you.
	Either that or someone called the upstream USENET admin...

Kurt: Curses! Foiled again by the power of USENET!

	this scenario brought to you by,

		keeper of the network news at ucbvax
		and cooperating netnews admins everywhere
