Alumni E-Mail!
Linger forlornly no longer. Now you can be in touch with NCSSM alumni all
over the country - without paying a fortune to the phone companies. We've
just received word that there is an internet network for NCSSM alumni, with
members representing each NCSSM class, including current seniors and
juniors. To access the network and receive a list of current members,
e-mail Sharon Belville, class of 1985 and most gracious network hostess, at
belville@athena.mit.edu.
[Clarification - I collect e-mail addresses of alums from my high school - I
don't manage some NCSSMnet. This was published in a School publication a few
weeks ago.]
OK, I now have 3 different interpretations of this title, and I bet we can
think of more :-)
1) Gracious Network Hostess - just a bit o' Southern charm, ignoring the fact
that I've been in New England for 7 years....
2) Gracious Network Hostess! An exclamation, same tone as "Great Jumping
Jehoshaphat!"
3) Gracious Network Hostess - A term of adoration and supplication, "O,
Gracious Network Hostess, I come grovelling before you to request an Alumni
Directory...."

Date: Sun, 5 Jul 92 4:30:3 EDT
From: adb@herboid.UUCP (Anthony DeBoer)
Subject: The Normalcy of Living in Drainage Culverts
Keywords: urban legend, smirk
Lines: 15
(From the news on CFNY FM 102 this morning):
The police in Sarnia, Ontario, recently received a call that a man had
been seen living in a drainage culvert. They promptly dispatched two of
their finest to check out this report. The officers did indeed find a man
living in a culvert, and attempted to reason with him. "Sir," they said,
"it's not normal to be living inside of a drainage culvert." The man
pulled a piece of paper from his sack of posessions, and replied that he
had just been released from a mental institution, and had a certificate,
signed by an expert in the field, saying that he was perfectly sane. "Do
either of you have one?", he asked the officers, who were left speechless.

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
excerpted from rec.humor.funny:
Lest you think there is no culture in New Mexico, you should
drive up north to Albuquerque and Santa Fe, to see the magnificient
galleries, pueblos and the Plazas. Its 225 miles up to Albuquerque, I
once did it in under two hours, the cops pulled me over. "You need a
car to be on the Interstate", said the first. "I am sorry officer, but
I ate a habanero back in Las Cruces," I wheezed. "We know, Sir." he
replied, "How do you think we caught you?."

THE CARS ARE GETTING BETTER THOUGH
In Blade's Mercenaries, Spies, and Private Eyes, a family car going
100 mph can ram a tank, demolish it, and will remain drivable half the
time.
