Random assortment of jokes:
    "Dad, will you help me with my homework?"
    "I'm sorry," replied the father.  "It wouldn't be right."
    "Well," said the boy, "at least you could try."
    Three friends who always argued about who was the smartest are sitting on
death row.  The first one's number comes up, but when he sits down in the
electric chair, nothing happens.
    Same thing happens with the second friend and he's let go.  Then the third
guy steps up to the platform and sits down.
    The switch is pulled and again there is no charge.  But before the warden
can say anything, the prisoner starts pointing excitedly.  "You know," he
says,"if you'd just cross that black wire with the yellow one..."

Obscure word of the week:	MAFFICK
To celebrate with boisterous rejoicing and hilarious behavior
The Russian sport called "face-slapping" originated in Kiev in 1931.  The first
bout took place between two of the world's most stubborn men, Wasyl Bezbordny
and Michalko Toniusz.  The two men stood face-to-face and slapped each other
with their open hands for 30 strait hours.  The attendant crowd finally stopped
the fight when they realized that both men would rather die than quit.
