    FREE!! FREE!! FREE K-Y Jelly!!!!!!

    I was with my SO today, while she was purchasing some "feminine supplies"
    and she showed me the outside of a box of o.b. tampons that had "FREE K-Y Jelly!" Written on the side. Upon closer inspection, I saw the words "(When
    you call the toll-free # inside.)" Just below it. Being a sucker for
    toll-free numbers, I promptly ripped the box open, and found the little
    booklet entitled "Why K-Y Can be Your Tampon's Best Friend."
    Inside said wonderful little booklet, I found out why. :)

    Because if you dial this number:

    ****************
    *1-800-526-3967*
    ****************

    The people at Johnson & Johnson (makers of that find K-Y stuff)
    "will send you A FREE SAMPLE OF K-Y Personal Lubricant + .50 coupon toward
    your next purchase + an illustrated booklet on when and why to use K-Y."

    (Their words, not mine! :) )

    So, in case you missed that number, it's:

    ****************
    *1-800-526-3967*
    ****************

    That's:

    ****************
    *1-800-526-3967*

    Don't delay! Call today!

    YEEEEAHAAWW! And kiss my great horned lizard, the One Who Smokes
    and Walks was sighted in Buffalo on Friday! Us of the Faith and Lubrication were up on the roof, making 'frop sales and rude innuendos to Garth and Joe
    and Betty and Joe and Bill driving by on the Avenue of the One True Beetle, when we all fell dead from Radiation Burns, though later on it would be reported as "a freak episode of ball lightning". Then YEA! did we see below
    us a man, a great man walking down the street towards us, pipe with 'frop ablaze, and a smile to kill a rancher. Murmurs fell from the lips of the masses as he aproached. "No...it couldn't be Him...we've only heard tales,
    and no matter the FistNumber, he wouldn't be HERE...would he?" So the High Priest called down, ""Bob"!", and the head of the One Who Blows No Chunk
    turned up to look at us and said, "yes".
    "Is your name "Bob"?"
    "Yep."
    The air stood still, yet mountains wept.
    "Your name is *really* "Bob"? It's *really* You????"
    "Yep."
    And then he walked past the writhing heathens, and on his way...

    In Australia, they have the Big Pineapple, the Big Banana, a hotel

    a huge, unpainted concrete *sheep* situated somewhere near Goulburn,
    NSW.

    THE JOLLY GREEN TRADEMARK

    The Jolly Green Giant was feeling jollier than usual tonight. He gulped down another six gallons of tomato vodka and reached for a refill. He
    downed it and looked over his Valley.
    "Ho, ho, hwuuuulllllllppppppp!!!!!!"
    A giant-sized stream of green vomit arced across the blue sky and landed
    on the Cauliflower In Real Cheese Sauce. It was ruined, rendered unfit
    for human consumption. So they relabeled it.

    ==-==============-=======-====
    (A partial register of the 927 eternal Truths)
    ==-=======-========-==-===-===-=======-=======

    1. This is it!
    2. There are no hidden meanings.
    3. You can't get there from here, and besides, there's no place else to go.
    4. We are all already dying, and we will be dead for a long time.
    5. Nothing lasts.
    6. There is no way of getting all you want.
    7. You can't have anything unless you let go of it.
    8. You only get to keep what you give away.
    9. There is no particular reason why you lost out on some things.
    10. The world is not necessarily just. Being good often does not pay
    off and there is no compensation for misfortune.
    11. You have a responsibility to do your best nonetheless.
    12. It is a random universe to which we bring meaning.
    13. You don't really control anything.
    14. You can't make anyone love you.
    15. No one else is any stronger or any weaker than anyone else.
    16. Everyone is, in his own way, vulnerable.
    17. There are no great men.
    18. If you have a hero look again: you have diminished yourself in some way. 19. Everyone lies, cheats and pretends (yes, you too, and most certainly,
    I myself.)
    20. All evil is potential vitality in need of transformation.
    21. All of you is worth something, if you only own it.
    22. Progress is an illusion.
    23. Evil can be displaced but never eradicated, as all solutions breed
    new problems.
    24. Yet, it is necessary to keep on struggling toward solutions.
    25. Childhood is a nightmare.
    26. But it is so very hard to be an on-your-own-take-care-of-yourself-
    cause-there-is-no-one-else-to-do-it-for-you grown up.
    27. Each of us is ultimately alone.
    28. The most important things, each man must do for himself.
    29. Love is not enough, but it sure helps.
    30. We have only ourselves, and one another. That may not be much,
    but that is all there is.
    31. How strange, that so often it all seems worth it.
    32. We must live within the ambiguity of partial freedom, partial
    power, and partial knowledge.
    33. All important decisions must be made on the basis of insufficient data.
    34. Yet we are responsible for everything we do.
    35. No excuses will be accepted.
    36. You can run, but you can't hide.
    37. It is most important to not run out of scapegoats.
    38. We must learn the power of living with our helplessness.
    39. The only victory lies in surrender with ourselves.
    40. All of the significant battles are waged within the self.
    41. You are free to do whatever you like. You need only face the consequences. 42. What do you know...for sure...anyway?
    43. Learn to forgive yourself, again and again and again and again...

    Door-to-door religion salespeople (was Re: Some wicked ideas!)

    In article <3JUN91222640@acad3.alaska.edu> fsspr@acad3.alaska.edu writes: >Actually, this isn't about Brother Jed, but I do find neato ways to
    annoy Mormon missionaries....
    [story deleted for brevity's sake]

    This reminds me of something that happened to my friend Fred....

    He was living in a mobile home in Alaska. There was a knock on the
    door. "Hi. We're from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day
    Saints, and we'd like know if you'd like to discuss the Bible with us."

    It was a dull day, so he figured "Why not?" and let the two Mormons
    in, and proceeded to show them "proper hospitality."

    With a straight face, he asked them "Can I get you something? Maybe
    you'd like some coffee? Tea? Perhaps you'd like a Coke?"

    They of course declined, and the three had a friendly chat for about
    half an hour.

    There was another knock on the door. Fred answered, looked at the duo
    at the door. "Hi! We'd like to chat with you for a few minutes."

    Fred noticed copies of the "Watchtower" sticking out of their
    briefcases (read: they were Jehovah's Witnesses) and eagerly invited
    them in, saying "Come on in! I have two friends I'd like you to
    meet!"

    Fred says this is when he decided religion should be a spectator
    sport. The two pairs went at it for about half an hour, until Fred
    finally had to step in before they started exchanging blows.

    ------

    Another Fred-and-door-to-door-fundies incident took place just a
    couple of weeks ago. He now lives in an apartment building in the San Francisco bay area.

    One of his neighbors warned him that a door-to-door Scientologist was
    coming around.

    Well, Fred and I sing in a music group, and he just happened to be
    working on one of the songs we were doing in our upcoming concert.
    As he was picking his part out on the guitar, the Scientologist came
    to the door and engaged him in conversation. The guy asked Fred what
    he was working on. Fred asked him if he wanted to hear it; the guy
    (of course) said "Yes!" Fred proceeded to sing, and only got through
    one verse before the guy started running away. The song:

    (to "Da Doo Ron Ron")

    He keeps on writing novels though his life is through
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Some folks say it shows what Dianetics do
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Yeah, his life is through
    Yeah, what Dianetics do
    Yeah, when I saw the name
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!

    He wrote before he founded Scientology
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    But soon he found religion makes bucks easily
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Scientology
    Makes bucks easily
    Yeah, Dianetics pays
    For L. Ron, Ron, Ron! For L. Ron, Ron, Ron!

    Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah \
    L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! > (sung simultaneously 2x)
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! /

    Twenty-two best sellers and there's more to come!
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Heaven only knows where they're a-comin' from
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Yeah, more books to come
    Yeah, who knows where from
    Yeah, this I've gotta see
    From L. Ron, Ron, Ron! From L. Ron, Ron, Ron!

    2. There are no hidden meanings.
    3. You can't get there from here, and besides, there's no place else to go.
    4. We are all already dying, and we will be dead for a long time.
    5. Nothing lasts.
    6. There is no way of getting all you want.
    7. You can't have anything unless you let go of it.
    8. You only get to keep what you give away.
    9. There is no particular reason why you lost out on some things.
    10. The world is not necessarily just. Being good often does not pay
    off and there is no compensation for misfortune.
    11. You have a responsibility to do your best nonetheless.
    12. It is a random universe to which we bring meaning.
    13. You don't really control anything.
    14. You can't make anyone love you.
    15. No one else is any stronger or any weaker than anyone else.
    16. Everyone is, in his own way, vulnerable.
    17. There are no great men.
    18. If you have a hero look again: you have diminished yourself in some way. 19. Everyone lies, cheats and pretends (yes, you too, and most certainly,
    I myself.)
    20. All evil is potential vitality in need of transformation.
    21. All of you is worth something, if you only own it.
    22. Progress is an illusion.
    23. Evil can be displaced but never eradicated, as all solutions breed
    new problems.
    24. Yet, it is necessary to keep on struggling toward solutions.
    25. Childhood is a nightmare.
    26. But it is so very hard to be an on-your-own-take-care-of-yourself-
    cause-there-is-no-one-else-to-do-it-for-you grown up.
    27. Each of us is ultimately alone.
    28. The most important things, each man must do for himself.
    29. Love is not enough, but it sure helps.
    30. We have only ourselves, and one another. That may not be much,
    but that is all there is.
    31. How strange, that so often it all seems worth it.
    32. We must live within the ambiguity of partial freedom, partial
    power, and partial knowledge.
    33. All important decisions must be made on the basis of insufficient data.
    34. Yet we are responsible for everything we do.
    35. No excuses will be accepted.
    36. You can run, but you can't hide.
    37. It is most important to not run out of scapegoats.
    38. We must learn the power of living with our helplessness.
    39. The only victory lies in surrender with ourselves.
    40. All of the significant battles are waged within the self.
    41. You are free to do whatever you like. You need only face the consequences. 42. What do you know...for sure...anyway?
    43. Learn to forgive yourself, again and again and again and again...

    Door-to-door religion salespeople (was Re: Some wicked ideas!)

    In article <3JUN91222640@acad3.alaska.edu> fsspr@acad3.alaska.edu writes: >Actually, this isn't about Brother Jed, but I do find neato ways to
    annoy Mormon missionaries....
    [story deleted for brevity's sake]

    This reminds me of something that happened to my friend Fred....

    He was living in a mobile home in Alaska. There was a knock on the
    door. "Hi. We're from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day
    Saints, and we'd like know if you'd like to discuss the Bible with us."

    It was a dull day, so he figured "Why not?" and let the two Mormons
    in, and proceeded to show them "proper hospitality."

    With a straight face, he asked them "Can I get you something? Maybe
    you'd like some coffee? Tea? Perhaps you'd like a Coke?"

    They of course declined, and the three had a friendly chat for about
    half an hour.

    There was another knock on the door. Fred answered, looked at the duo
    at the door. "Hi! We'd like to chat with you for a few minutes."

    Fred noticed copies of the "Watchtower" sticking out of their
    briefcases (read: they were Jehovah's Witnesses) and eagerly invited
    them in, saying "Come on in! I have two friends I'd like you to
    meet!"

    Fred says this is when he decided religion should be a spectator
    sport. The two pairs went at it for about half an hour, until Fred
    finally had to step in before they started exchanging blows.

    ------

    Another Fred-and-door-to-door-fundies incident took place just a
    couple of weeks ago. He now lives in an apartment building in the San Francisco bay area.

    One of his neighbors warned him that a door-to-door Scientologist was
    coming around.

    Well, Fred and I sing in a music group, and he just happened to be
    working on one of the songs we were doing in our upcoming concert.
    As he was picking his part out on the guitar, the Scientologist came
    to the door and engaged him in conversation. The guy asked Fred what
    he was working on. Fred asked him if he wanted to hear it; the guy
    (of course) said "Yes!" Fred proceeded to sing, and only got through
    one verse before the guy started running away. The song:

    (to "Da Doo Ron Ron")

    He keeps on writing novels though his life is through
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Some folks say it shows what Dianetics do
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Yeah, his life is through
    Yeah, what Dianetics do
    Yeah, when I saw the name
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!

    He wrote before he founded Scientology
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    But soon he found religion makes bucks easily
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Scientology
    Makes bucks easily
    Yeah, Dianetics pays
    For L. Ron, Ron, Ron! For L. Ron, Ron, Ron!

    Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah \
    L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! > (sung simultaneously 2x)
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! /

    Twenty-two best sellers and there's more to come!
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Heaven only knows where they're a-comin' from
    It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron! It's L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
    Yeah, more books to come
    Yeah, who knows where from
    Yeah, this I've gotta see
    From L. Ron, Ron, Ron! From L. Ron, Ron, Ron!
