These are all true Groucho Marx anecdotes garnered from "The Portable
|
|||
|
Curmudgeon" compiled by Jon Winokur.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**********************************
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Groucho Marx was having problems sexually (premature ejaculation).
|
|||
|
Someone recommended a topical creme guaranteed to prolong erection. When asked
|
|||
|
later whether it worked, Groucho replied, "I came rubbing the stuff on."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**********************************
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A guest on Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life" television show was a
|
|||
|
woman who had given birth to twenty-two children. "I love my husband," the
|
|||
|
woman explained sheepishly.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I love my cigar too," Groucho said, "but I take it out once in a
|
|||
|
while."

|
|||
|
Announcing badnews*, a realistic approach to Usenet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Why badnews?
|
|||
|
The news software currently in use freely mixes policy with mechanism and
|
|||
|
actually creates obtacles for its user community. In practice, this inhibits
|
|||
|
no one and merely results in frustration which, as has been clinically proved,
|
|||
|
leads to aggression. The time has come to give users what they really want.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Badnews fixes the following bugs in previous news software:
|
|||
|
1) Due to a bug, previous news read/post programs limited the 'cancel' command
|
|||
|
to the users own postings. Badnews fixes this problem.
|
|||
|
2) Previous signatures were limited to 4 lines. Badnews supports arbitrarily
|
|||
|
large signatures. If your signature is too small, badnews will pad it with
|
|||
|
such cute sayings as "flames >/dev/null" and the like.
|
|||
|
3) Previous software insisted that followup additions be longer than included
|
|||
|
text. In this interim release, badnews fixes this restriction by
|
|||
|
automatically generating extra lines of cute sayings like "inews fodder".
|
|||
|
4) To avoid wasting bandwidth caused by articles failing to reach their
|
|||
|
intended target, badnews will refuse to post articles not crossposted to
|
|||
|
at least 4 newsgroups.
|
|||
|
5) Due to a design error, previous news software actually discouraged thoughtful
|
|||
|
postings and selected for ego-maniacs and one-true-wayists by trying to
|
|||
|
intimidate the poster asking if they "really wanted to do this". Badnews
|
|||
|
will be more supportive and say "Thank you for sharing."
|
|||
|
6) Current software encourages a bandwidth wasting redundancy by requiring a
|
|||
|
'Subject:' line when the actual subject (if any) can always be inferred
|
|||
|
from the article itself. Badnews eliminates this redundancy by
|
|||
|
automatically generating a contentless or irrelevant 'Subject:' such as
|
|||
|
"Help needed", "Posting", or "This line intentionally left blank".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
New commands available:
|
|||
|
1) The 'Sue' command automatically initiates a lawsuit against the author of
|
|||
|
the currently read message.
|
|||
|
2) The 'Expand' command automatically decrypts many common abbreviations which
|
|||
|
may appear in the currently read message, such as: IMHO, PC, SO, BTW, MOTAS,
|
|||
|
BMW, MES
|
|||
|
3) The 'Suicide' command automatically deposits the users name in other
|
|||
|
users' kill files. In this interim release, this command is limited to
|
|||
|
adding your name to Ted Kaldis's kill file.
|
|||
|
4) The 'Notify' command contacts powerful people associated with the currently
|
|||
|
read message. Current options include: notify employer, notify sysadmin,
|
|||
|
and notify the press.
|
|||
|
5) The 'Sexchange' command automatically switches the genders in the message
|
|||
|
currently being read. The interim release limits this function to two
|
|||
|
genders.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
New posting aids:
|
|||
|
Many postings are actually the same or similar to messages sent before. In
|
|||
|
order to make such duplication easier, Badnews provides automatic posting on
|
|||
|
common topics selected from a menu. Menus currently available will cover
|
|||
|
1) Hoaxes/urban legends
|
|||
|
2) Requests for money
|
|||
|
3) Jokes about strings
|
|||
|
4) Commonly asked questions (e.g. How do I get my current directory to print
|
|||
|
out in my prompt?)
|
|||
|
5) A SERIOUS DILEMMA FOR THE NET
|
|||
|
6) Appropriate flames to respond to the user using 1-5 above
|
|||
|
7) Appropriate counter flame to respond to user using 6 above
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Future enhancements will include:
|
|||
|
1) Kill with prejudice which will notify via mail (with appropriate nasty
|
|||
|
epithets) the author of any article being killed.
|
|||
|
2) Kill by gender, ethnic group, political slant
|
|||
|
3) Auto-forge to fake the header of real or non-existent persons.
|
|||
|
4) The 'Pull' command to pull another user's net account.
|
|||
|
5) Kill with extreme prejudice, to actually terminate the life of a user.
|
|||
|
6) Starwars, to build a shield to protect oneself from 1-5 above.
|
|||
|

|||
|

12 Year Old Guinness Record Holder Dead
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(AP) December 18, 1988 - Streetly, England - Mario Morby, a 12 year old
|
|||
|
record holder in the "Guinness Book of World Records", was killed yesterday
|
|||
|
when he asphyxiated under the weight of hundreds of thousands of postcards
|
|||
|
that accidentally toppled on him. Morby, a cancer patient currently
|
|||
|
in remission, collected the postcards from supporters all over the world
|
|||
|
who took sympathy on his condition. The bulk of Morby's collection,
|
|||
|
estimated at over 2 million with 30,000 arriving daily, was turned over
|
|||
|
to an auction house for disposal. Morby had retained about 500,000 of
|
|||
|
the nicer ones.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Florida Child's Wish Come True, Inc. publicized Mario's
|
|||
|
wish for postcards. "Had we realized the trouble that we caused,
|
|||
|
we would have never gotten involved," said Frances Keefe, the founder of
|
|||
|
the Spring Hill, Florida organization that specializes in satisfying the
|
|||
|
last wishes of dying children. They used the pseudonym "David" when
|
|||
|
requesting postcards on Morby's behalf. "It makes us heartsick," Keefe
|
|||
|
continued, "to realize that we have contributed to this gentle child's
|
|||
|
death. He was in remission, and his spirits were up. Those postcards
|
|||
|
were his life."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Morby's body was discovered by the family dog, who notified
|
|||
|
the district constable. Foul play is not suspected.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Ross McWhirter, author of the "Guinness Book of World Records", said in
|
|||
|
a prepared statement that "it is ironic that Morby's record has been
|
|||
|
overshadowed by that of another boy named 'David' who is dying of
|
|||
|
leukemia. In tribute to Morby, however, we have decided to enter him
|
|||
|
in a new catagory in the mid-year 1989 update edition:
|
|||
|
'Most Senseless Death'."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Contributions in Morby's memory may be made to Florida Child's Wish

The pirate Red Beard was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who
|
|||
|
was looking for juicy stories of excitement and derring-do. He told Red,
|
|||
|
"I'm sure my readers would love to hear the tale behind your pegleg."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well, I was thrown from the ship during galeforce winds, and before me
|
|||
|
mate could throw me a line, a shark bit me leg clean off."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The interviewer was sort of disappointed. "What about the hook at the
|
|||
|
end of your right arm?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I lost it in a sword fight with the Captain of the Guard."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Again the reporter was disappointed. "Certainly there's an exciting
|
|||
|
story about the patch on your eye?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"One day, I was out on deck, and a bird flew over and crapped in me eye."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The reporter was amazed. "That's why you wear a patch?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well, I'd only had me hook a couple of days."

Over the past few years, Party Builders Associates has aided countless
|
|||
|
individuals and groups to form vanguard parties intelligently tailored
|
|||
|
to their own needs. These people are now leading creative, happy lives
|
|||
|
fighting one another. What we've done for others, we can do for you.
|
|||
|
A few minutes filling out the following questionnaire may be the best
|
|||
|
investment you'll ever make. Your answers will enable Party Builders
|
|||
|
Associates, preserving strict confidentiality, to work out a party
|
|||
|
program that is JUST RIGHT for you and your friends.
|
|||
|
And now, here's the questionnaire. We advise using a pencil, since these
|
|||
|
are by no means easy questions, and your party will not be able to alter
|
|||
|
the positions taken here without seriously damaging your credibility
|
|||
|
among the workers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1) The Russian Revolution turned away from socialism in:
|
|||
|
___(a) 1917
|
|||
|
___(b) 1927
|
|||
|
___(c) 1953
|
|||
|
___(d) 1957
|
|||
|
___(e) It hasn't yet, but my group will be te first to denounce it when it does
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2) Black people are:
|
|||
|
___(a) A nation
|
|||
|
___(b) A nation of a new type
|
|||
|
___(c) A super-exploited sector of the working class
|
|||
|
___(d) Petit-bourgeios
|
|||
|
___(e) A colony
|
|||
|
___(f) Please send me more information about this controversial group
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3) The main danger facing the workers' vanguard in the present epoch is:
|
|||
|
___(a) Right opportunism
|
|||
|
___(b) "Left" sectarianism
|
|||
|
___(c) Right opportunism masking as "left" sectarianism
|
|||
|
___(d) My parents
|
|||
|
___(e) Other (please specify)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4) Rather than focus on narrow economic issues, my party will offer a cultural
|
|||
|
critique of life in advanced capitalist countries. The following are signs of
|
|||
|
capitalist decadence:
|
|||
|
___(a) Feminism
|
|||
|
___(b) Trotskyism
|
|||
|
___(c) Pornographic movies
|
|||
|

|

Three conventioneers had finally managed to tire their wives to go back to
|
|||
|
the hotel and finally located a house of negotiable affection. The madam
|
|||
|
was crestfallen.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Sorry fellows, all the girls are busy... No one left but me."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Gee, we spent most of the evening getting rid of our wives and we're leaving
|
|||
|
tomorrow, isn't there anything you can do?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well there's always me, I give specials..."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The first guy decided he'd go for it and when he came back downstairs he had
|
|||
|
a grin ear to ear.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"How was it? How much was it?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"It was great! I got the $25 special. She has this can of Readi-Whip and
|
|||
|
she sprays it all around and then licks it off, great!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The second fellow doesn't hesitate, bolts up the stairs and is back after a
|
|||
|
while, grinning like the first.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"How was it? How much was it?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"It was super! I got the $50 special. Same as Jack, the Readi-Whip, but
|
|||
|
she had some chopped walnuts that she sprinkled on it. Nibbled off the
|
|||
|
walnuts and licked off the Readi-Whip, faantaaastic!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The third could not be constrained, he raced up the stairs and came back
|
|||
|
shortly thereafter, chin between his knees.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Gosh! What happened? What went wrong?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well, I got the $75 special, kinda like what you guys got but she starts
|
|||
|
with a pineapple ring. Then there's the Readi-Whip, the chopped walnuts,
|
|||
|
but she's got some chocolate sprikles and a cherry she puts on top. Damn!
|
|||
|
it looked so good I ate it myself..."

happens to see a copy of an exam sitting on the desk so he picks

One day an older fella was in for a checkup. After his examination, his
|
|||
|
doctor was amazed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Holy cow! Mr. Edwards, I must say that you are in the greatest shape of
|
|||
|
any 64 year old I have ever examined!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Did I say I was 64?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well, no, did I read your chart wrong?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Damn straight you did! I'm 85!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"85!! Unbelievable! You would be in great shape if you were 25! How old
|
|||
|
was your father when he died?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Did I say he was dead?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"You mean..."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Damn straight! He's 106 and going strong!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"My Lord! What a healthy family you must come from! How long did your

>From former chairman of the US Federal Reserve Paul Volcker according
|
|||
|
to the Wall Street Journal:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A parrot fancier who happened into a London pet shop noticed a
|
|||
|
particularly colorful bird and asked its price.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Five thousand pounds," the shop owner replied.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Five thousand pounds?" the man asked. "Why so much?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well, this bird speaks fluent Italian, Spanish and French, is
|
|||
|
brushing up on his German and starting to study English," came the
|
|||
|
reply. "With the European Community's unicifation due in 1992, he'll
|
|||
|
be a great asset."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I don't care about the Common Market," the parrot fancier said.
|
|||
|
"What about that gray one in that other cage?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The gray one was 15,000 pounds, he was told, because the bird spoke
|
|||
|
Arabic, Chinese, and Korean and was learning Japanese -- "the
|
|||
|
languages of the 21st century."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I'm too old to worry about the 21st century," the frustrated parrot
|
|||
|
lover replied. "What about that mangy brown one up on that perch in
|
|||
|
the corner?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The brown one, said the shopkeeper, was 25,000 pounds.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Twenty-five thousand pounds!" exclaimed the customer. "What does
|
|||
|
he do to worth that?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"We're not sure," the pet-shop owner replied. "But the other two
|
|||
|
call him chairman."

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Once upon a time, there was a village.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The people in the village were extremely conservative. No one talked
|
|||
|
about sex. Newlyweds had to figure out how to do such business on
|
|||
|
their own because no one ever talked about it in their lifetime.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A mischievous couple decided to pull a practical joke on a pair of
|
|||
|
people getting married.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The man pulled the groom-to-be aside and talked to him privately:
|
|||
|
"I know it is not appropriate to talk to you about sex life. But
|
|||
|
you are getting married soon, I don't want you to get hurt."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"What is it? What is it? Let me know," the ignorant groom eagerly asked.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The man first told him what sex was all about. And he said,
|
|||
|
"But ... , you have to be careful. Some women grow teeth in their
|
|||
|
'private place'. Some poor men have lost their valuable body part to
|
|||
|
these ruthless jaws."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"How should I find out? What should I do on the first night?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Fear not, young man. Let me tell you what to do. Don't take
|
|||
|
any risks. On the first night, test her first with your knee."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The woman also talked to the bride-to-be in private:
|
|||
|
"You are getting married soon. I cannot resist warning you..."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The bride also eagerly asked for advice.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The woman first explained to her what would happen in bed the first
|
|||
|
night, then she said, "Some men have a HUGE life-threatening penis.
|
|||
|
If you have sex with this type of man, you may not survive."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Oh, please help me. What should I do?" The bride was scared.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Well, let me tell you what I did on my first night," she lied.
|
|||
|
"I sharpened my finger nails and put my hand in front of my
|
|||
|
vulnerable spot, and grabbed anything that approached."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the wedding night, the shy newlywed slipped into bed in pitch
|
|||
|
darkness. Moments later, both screamed in horror.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
... And they slept separately ever after.
|
|||

This man had a parrot. This parrot knew only one sentence,
|
|||
|
which was "Let's make love." The parrot said it all the time,
|
|||
|
embarassing the owner to no end.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Finally, He went to his parish preist and told him of his parrot
|
|||
|
problem. The priest repleid, "I have a parrot who also only knows
|
|||
|
one sentence. He always says, 'Let up pray.' Bring your parrot over
|
|||
|
Sunday after mass, and I'm sure your parrot will be praying by the
|
|||
|
end of the day."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So, as directed, The owner brought the parrot over to the rectory
|
|||
|
after mass. The parrot, spying the priests parrot, opened his mouth
|
|||
|
and blurted out "Let's make Love."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The priest's parrot closed his eyes, looked up at heaven and said,
|
|||
|
"my prayers have been answered."

Here's a joke my uncle told me:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Through some cosmic fluke, Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev all died on
|
|||
|
the same day. Off they went to the gates of Heaven. Peter, seeing that
|
|||
|
these were all VIPs, sent them straight off to the Almighty.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
God, sitting on his throne, called up Reagan.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Ronald, my son, what have you to say for yourself?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I tried to improve the US economy", replied Reagan, "and I did my best to
|
|||
|
benefit the nation."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Very well, my son, come up and sit beside me at my right hand."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And so Reagan sat at his right.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
God then called up Gorbachev.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Mikhail, my son, what have you to say for yourself?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I tried to make Soviet society more open", replied Gorbachev, "and I did
|
|||
|
my best to improve the Soviet economy."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Very well, my son, come up and sit beside me at my left hand."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And so Gorbachev sat at his left.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
God then called up Thatcher.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Margaret, my daughter, what have you to say for yourself?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Only two things", replied Thatcher.
|
|||
|
"First of all, I'm not your daughter. Secondly, get out of my chair!"

I have been subjected to the biases and special pleadings of the
|
|||
|
artsy-fartsy culture vultures long enough. They sneer at anything which isn't
|
|||
|
in their own mold (mould?) of avante-gardishness. They perpetuate stupid jokes
|
|||
|
by laughing at people who quite seriously say, "I may not know much about....
|
|||
|
but I know what I like."
|
|||
|
It is time for the rest of us to revolt against this claptrap of
|
|||
|
self-indulgent behaviour which passes itself off as "the actualization of
|
|||
|
one's self potential," and which somehow has unfortunately [in Canuckland,
|
|||
|
at least] bedeviled enough politicians that fully 65.7% of our tax dollars
|
|||
|
go to supporting these alleged artistes through direct grants and purchases
|
|||
|
of junk that any sensible person would pay someone else to haul off to the
|
|||
|
municipal landfill site. It is time for a new organization to be formed
|
|||
|
to aid this revolution. To that end, I hereby announce the formation of
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The P.L.O.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Philistine Liberation Organization welcomes as new members
|
|||
|
anyone who supports this cause. The basic tenets of the PLO are divided
|
|||
|
into two general categories: things we like and things we don't like. An
|
|||
|
overall score of 80% qualifies you for membership.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Things we like:
|
|||
|
1. Montovani's music - great stuff, easy listening.
|
|||
|
2. McDonald's burgers - great taste, fast service, ok price.
|
|||
|
3. Vinyl instead of leather for gloves, clothing, upholstery, etc.
|
|||
|
- cheaper, requires less care, more durable.
|
|||
|
4. Canadian wine - good high for the buck.
|
|||
|
5. Shopping at K-mart - hey, they got some good stuff there, ya know.
|
|||
|
6. Commodore 64s - good games and they're real computers, too.
|
|||
|
7. Shopping Mall landscape art - ain't it amazing how real that stuff looks.
|
|||
|
8. Barry Manilow's songs - they capture the true meaning of life.
|
|||
|
9. Hockey Night in Canada, Monday Night ____ball, etc. - great entertainment.
|
|||
|
10. "If I have to go to a 'concert', I hope they play some marches - you
|
|||
|
know, something I can hum along with and tap my feet to."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Things we don't like:
|
|||
|
1. Real flowers - they wilt and need care - plastic's much better.
|
|||
|
2. BMW's, Mercedes, etc. - I'll take an Econoline any day.
|
|||
|
3. Gourmet food - so little food, such bad tastes, such high prices!
|
|||
|
4. 100% wool or cotton - they require too much and too costly care - give me
|
|||
|
polyester or acrylic any day.
|
|||
|
5. Symphony orchestra concerts - especially playing 20th century music.
|
|||
|
6. Real wood furniture - vinyl laminate is easier to care for and harder
|
|||
|
to damage.
|
|||
|
7. Birkenstock Sandals - footware of the truly effete snobs.
|
|||
|
8. "Serious" drama - hey, for $25 it had better make me laugh a lot.
|
|||
|
9. Pictures that aren't pictures of anything.
|
|||
|
10. "Cocktail" parties that serve only Perrier and vegetables.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Want to join the P.L.O.? ok, you're probably already a member then.
|
|||
|
Want to add to the tenets? E-mail your suggestions to me, and I'll keep a
|
|||
|
list.

On the subject of interns examining overweight women, the symptoms of
|
|||
|
pregnancy are often masked by obesity. The brother-in-law of a friend
|
|||
|
told me the first part of this story; my cousin told me the second.
|
|||
|
Both are now doctors, and both assured me that the stories are true.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In attempting to do a vaginal/cervical exam on a very overweight woman
|
|||
|
the intern could not make room to do his work. He finally enlisted
|
|||
|
the aid of two orderlies who wrapped the woman's legs in sheets and
|
|||
|
pulled them apart. Still not having enough room, the intern pushed a
|
|||
|
chair between her legs and made his diagnosis:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"You're pregnant," he said. "But how you got that way without two
|
|||
|
sheets and a chair is beyond me."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After making a similar comment, my cousin was informed by the
|
|||
|
patient, "You're not the first short-dick white boy to tell me that."

Here is a joke from the March issue of Playboy: {ed But they didn't write it.}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
An infamous stud with a long list of conquests walked into his neighborhood
|
|||
|
bar and ordered a drink. The bartender thought he looked worried and
|
|||
|
asked him if anything was wrong.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I'm scared out of my mind," the stud replied. "Some pissed-off husband
|
|||
|
wrote to me and said he'd kill me if I didn't stop fucking his wife."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"So stop," the barkeep said.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I can't," the womanizer replied, taking a long swill. "The prick didn't
|
|||
|
sign his name!"
