Years ago, there was a busy housewife named JoAnn with a demanding husband, six children and a large house. The only relief JoAnn got from her chores was the twice-a-week bridge game she shared with a dozen other women. The only flaw in the bridge club relationship was that JoAnn loved to tell off-color stories and the girls didn't want to hear them. To teach JoAnn a lesson, the other women decided that the next time she told an off-color story, they'd just get up, walk out, and meet at another home but without her. Sure enough, at the next bridge club meeting, JoAnn started, "You know, girls, there's a rumor going around that a busload of prostitutes will be leaving in the morning for that big gold find up in Alaska, and they say . . . " Just then, the women all stood up and started for the door. JoAnn was disconcerted, but only for a moment. Then she understood what was going on and said, "Hey! Girls! Hold on, hold on! There's plenty of time because the bus doesn't leave until morning!"

OT You're right, your side does play dirty, But it seems to be doing little good. SEC Probe Clears Lazio UPI Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2000 NEW YORK - Rep. Rick Lazio, locked in a battle with Hillary Clinton for the U.S. Senate in New York, had an "informal investigation" of the Securities and Exchange Commission end Tuesday with no action. "I am pleased that this matter has been quickly settled," the Republican congressman said in a statement. "I hope Mrs. Clinton will now join me in a campaign about issues and finally abandon her tactics of personal attacks and innuendo." Lazio revealed on June 22 that he was being "informally investigated" by the Securities and Exchange Commission for a 1997 stock option deal that netted him a 600 percent return. "I received a request from the Securities and Exchange Commission that we provide them with copies of certain account statements and trading records," Lazio said at the time. "I intend to provide all information requested and answer any questions." "This is to advise you that the above-captioned inquiry has been terminated, and that no enforcement action has been recommended to the commission," the SEC's Northeast Regional Office in New York City wrote in a letter to Lazio Tuesday.
