Tomato, I agree with the wav thread thanks. Here's a neat link that I found today. Stupid things that people do when they boot (or try to boot) a computer. Gave me a couple hours of diversion. rinkworks.com Scott

Bubba died in a fire and his body was so badly burned that the morgue needed someone to I.D. the body. So they called up his two friends, Jim-Bob and Billy-Joe, to come and try to I.D. the body. Jim-Bob went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet, and Jim-Bob said, "Yeh, he's burnt pretty bad. Roll him over." So the mortician rolled him over, and Jim-Bob looked at his ass and said, "No, dat ain't Bubba." The mortician didn't say anything, but thought that was kind of strange. Then he brought in Billy-Joe to I.D. the body, and Billy-Joe looked at him and said, "Yeh, he's burnt real bad; roll him over." The mortician rolled him over, and Billy-joe looked down at his ass and said, "No, dat ain't Bubba." The mortician said "How can you tell?" Billy-Joe said, "Well, Bubba had two assholes." "What? He had two assholes?!" said the mortician. "Yeh, everyone in town knew he had two assholes. Every time the three of us went to town, everyone would say,'Here comes Bubba with them two assholes!'"

Thanks - I AGREE but didn't have the chutzpah to say so <bg>. Let's keep this for jokes. Things I can read that make me laugh out loud and have my secretary look at me wondering what I'm doing at my computer "work." Let's wave good-bye to .wavs.

As a long time poster of jokes-I agree with you 100%. The folks that want to post wave files should start their own thread out out courtesy to others who don't want to skip through the many wave postings. However, this is a free forum, an anyone can post want they wish. We can only hope that courtesy will prevail. Regards, John

Tomato: I agree 100 % with your suggestion. I had been trying to think of a way to tactfully say the same thing. I think you did it just fine and noone should feel insulted.

This is funny when you think about it. All the people saying you were right are wasting practically as many posts as the wavs did. I agree wavs don't belong here but given a choice I find the wavs funnier than people, especially the ones that never contributed anything to the thread, patting a Tomato on the back. _________________________________________________________ Nevada mother has dead son's sperm frozen dailynews.yahoo.com Friday October 2 10:44 AM EDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Nevada woman has had the sperm of her 19-year-old son harvested and frozen after he shot himself to death playing Russian roulette, hoping that some day it can lead to a grandchild, the doctor who carried out the procedure said Thursday. But Dr. Russell Foulk said in a telephone interview with Reuters that she had no plans to carry the baby herself, despite some news reports to the contrary. ''She has no plans as it currently stands to carry the baby,'' said Foulk, a specialist at the Northern Nevada Fertility Center in Reno, Nevada. ''She wanted an egg donor to carry the baby. That's what she told me.'' According to news reports, 38-year-old Pamela Reno had asked to have the sperm frozen so that she could find an egg donor and act as its surrogate mother. But Foulk told Reuters that Reno, a cocktail waitress, was busy with funeral plans for her son and had not discussed the next step. He said Reno had failed to show up for an appointment Thursday afternoon. Reno's son Jeremy died when, after a night of drinking with friends, he apparently shot himself playing Russian roulette. Foulk said he was contacted by transplant specialists at the University of California, San Francisco, while the man was still alive and told that his mother wanted to harvest and freeze her son's sperm. Foulk said he complied with Reno's request. He said he was told that Reno had spoken to the press, and had cautioned her not to make her case public yet. He said it was possible she told a reporter that she wanted to carry the baby herself. ''She still doesn't understand what she's saying, or at least the ramifications of what she's saying,'' Foulk said. And Foulk said he would be reluctant to inseminate Reno with her son's child. ''I think I'd have to go sit by a river and think about it for a long time,'' he said. ''Its not an ideal situation. I'm just not articulate enough to to tell you why at this point.''
