Don't be a jerk.  Most people would agree that there are many humourous  
license plates, city names, light bulb jokes, etc out there.  But I think
(at least I hope) that most people are sick and tired of these postings.

In response to your comment on Subject lines, it is a known fact that
Subject lines often do not track the real subject.  As a consequence, we
again are subjected to these mindless postings.  The worst are the many
repostings of jokes that have been around for years.

I'm not adverse to the postings of YABS and YAPLP and JALBJ as long as it
is funny.  There is a dearth of originality and comedy in net.jokes.

In the future, Brian, please consider well your arguments before displaying
your thoughtlessness.
