days....'I said,`Hey, he reall can talk.  Why are you only selling him for only

    Tew New York crews were putting in telephone poles.  At the end of the day
the foreman asked the first crew how many poles had they done. "Twelve" was the
answer.
    "Not bad," replied the foreman.  Then he asked the second crew how many
poles they had put in.
    "Two" was the reply
    "Two?" shouted the foreman.  "The others did 12, and you did two/"
    "Yeah," answered the leader of the second group.  "But did you see how much
they left sticking out of the ground."

Cloke. (AP)

If you were on the mailing list last year, you may recall that occasionally, I
had a create-our-own top ten list.  I would supply a topic and ask the
subscribers to give some answers to that category.  The best ten responses I
received were put together to form our top-ten list.  I would like to try that
again this week.  The category:  Top Ten New Possible Team Nicknames for the
Oilers.
