Guys and gals,

Once again, I was using a thread topic to tell a joke and it was taken completely as some bad semantic act on my part. Hell, I told that "Okie moving to California" joke on stage for years. It was supposed to be F-U-N-N-Y. Then it WAS funny. Now, in these p.c. (personal computer) days, nothing is funny in cyberspace. I ought to know by now that if you don't have a sense of humor, IT ISN'T FUNNY. (There---another joke.) Jokes are good. They keep me from taking many of you seriously. (They keep me from taking myself too seriously.)They can thaw things --- and then break the ice. As some folks leave to go elsewhere, it feels as though I'm taking the KREL MIND BOOST (from the film Forbidden Planet) as the degrees of I.Q. (means I quit) transfer and rebalance themselves.

This is meant to be humorous!

Love to ALL,

Art
