Tom, I reposted that joke again for a number of reasons. As many who both read and write here know, jokes are the most editorialized media on this planet.... Those of us wanting to pass on the legacy of good jokes must be vigilent to keep their purity high. I wanted to make sure that some jokes that have strayed too far from their original design get reposted so that new people taking them for their own collections can get the originals. I don't want to start a reposting rush, but I had thought that particular joke lost all of it's punch the way it was posted. I have a fairly large collection and sometimes hate to see what happens to many of the truly funning ones. Regards, Steve

Read this sentence: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again!!!. See below... . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . .Answer below: . . . . . . . ANSWER: There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as "V's" Pretty weird, huh?
