Should we adopt the style of net.announce of posting the canonical JAP, light bulb, dead celebrity, elephant, ... jokes several times each year so everyone can know where the people who have been here for a while are coming from. A moderated jokes system might be nice: someone could handle Father Goose stories and someone could be the ultimate keeper of JAP jokes. Or if not moderated, the above periodic posting of "canonical" joke sets would cut down a lot of the posting of old jokes. adams@calma.UUCP -- Robert Adams ...!ucbvax!calma!adams Oh, if only I could hear an origional and funny joke.
