TYPOGRAPHER'S NIGHTMARE
-----------------------
Famed typographer Frederick Rauser was once asked to review common
fonts for clarity. He did this by selecting a representative letter
and setting many copies of it in Times, Helvetica, Bodoni, etc.
After a week, the client called to check on Rauser's progress.
"First," explained Rauser, "I rejected consonants and lower-case
letters, since they differed too much from one font to the next.
Of the remaining letters, `A,' `E' and `I' had no curves, and `O'
had no straight lines, so I couldn't use them. So tonight I plan
to make the comparison sheets, and tomorrow I'll be seeing `U' in
all the old, familiar faces."

dryfoo (Gary L. Dryfoos):
When the Sun comes up on America,
And the workin' day's begun,
American Folks at American Jobs
Make this country run.
From the highways to the mountains,
Where the mighty rivers flow,
Across the land, the building hands
Are making America grow.
We're here and we know why --
Because we do the things we do.
(And we know we do them well!)
In a world that turns to America,
America turns to KREL!

Several Japanese businessmen in suits drive up in a large van to the
town hall of a small Indiana town, and get out, taking with them
someone in a suit with a black plastic hood draped over his head. The
residents of the town approach, and the businessmen quickly lift off
the black plastic, revealing: President Reagan! One of the businessmen
holds up a nifty green sign in the style of those signs on the
interstate which say "Kalamazoo: 35 miles" -- the sign says "Snipshots:
$25.00", and several of the townspeople go and fetch their children,
because twenty-five dollars is a lot cheaper than having to travel all
the way to Washington just to get a picture taken with a cardboard
cutout, and by golly, this is the real thing! Money exchanges hands,
and flashes go off, and the local Foto-Mat is swamped by requests for
developing.... Eventually the President becomes tired and asks for a
rest. The Japanese businessmen chatter among themselves, and, as the
townspeople have shown that they are well-behaved customers, the
businessmen open the back of the van, revealing a dozen more President
Reagans....

The Glow of Good Health
In a teaching manual prepared for use in public schools, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency compared the radiation released by a nuclear
blast to sunlight: "Long exposure in one day can be harmful, while the
same total exposure distributed over a few weeks produces a nice tan."

tiuzzol (Terri Iuzzolino):
So let the sun shine in,
Face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose,
And frowners never win.
So let the sun shine in.
Face it with a grin.
Why don't you open up your heart,
And let the sun shine in?
