Not so
serious:
Tech Support Request
Last year I
upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program
began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and
valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the
product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other
programs and launches during system initialisation where it monitors
all other system activity. Applications such as Pokernight 10.3 and
Beerbash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.
I can not seem
to purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about going back to
Girlfriend 1.0 but un-install does not work on this program. Can you
help me? JP
Dear JP
This is a very
common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary
misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 with
the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a "UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT"
program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to
run everything. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the
program from the system once installed. You can not go back to
Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have
tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more
problems than original system. Look in your manual under Warnings
Alimony/Child Support. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with
the situation.
Having Wife 1.0
installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section
regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs). You must assume all
responsibility for faults and problems that might occur. The best
course of action will be to push apologise button then reset button as
soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smooth as long as you take the
blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high
maintenance.

Dr.
Seuss Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash
READ THIS OUT LOUD-It's Great!
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort,
and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash
and the double clicking icon puts your window in the trash;
and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;
then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk
and the micro code instructions cause unnecessary risk,
then you'll have to flash the memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!
WELL! That certainly clears things up for ME!!

More Kids!
A boy was assigned a paper
on childbirth and asked his parents,
"How was I born?"
"Well honey..." said the slightly prudish
parent, "the stork brought you to us."
"Oh," said the boy. "Well, how did you and
daddy get born?" he asked.
"Oh, the stork brought us too."
"Well how were grandpa and grandma born?" he persisted.
"Well darling, the stork brought them too!"
said the parent, by now starting to squirm a little in the
Lazy Boy recliner.
Several days later, the boy handed in his
paper to the teacher who read with confusion the opening
sentence:
"This report has been very difficult to
write because there hasn't been a natural childbirth in my
family for three generations."

WHY GOD CREATED
CHILDREN -- (AND IN THE PROCESS
GRANDCHILDREN)
To those of us who have children in our lives, whether
they are our own, grandchildren, nieces,
nephews,or students... here is something to make you chuckle.
Whenever your children are out of control, you can take
comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to
His own children.
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and
Eve.
And the first thing he said was "DON'T !"
"Don't what? " Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
"Forbidden fruit ? We have forbidden fruit ? Hey
Eve..we have forbidden fruit ! "
"No Way! "
"Yes way! "
"Do NOT eat the fruit! " said God.
"Why? "
"Because I am your Father and I said so! " God replied,
wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A
few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He
was ticked ! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit ? " God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you? " said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She started it! " Adam said.
"Did not! "
"Did too! "
"DID NOT! "
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment
was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the
pattern was set and it has never changed.
BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY !
If you have persistently and
lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't
be hard on yourself.
If God had trouble raising children, what make s you
think it would be a piece of cake for you?
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT !
1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching
them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to
sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your
own children.
3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their
young.
4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually
repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
5. The main purpose of holding
children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more
awful than your own.
6 We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting
in.
ADVICE FOR THE DAY:
Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one
day.
AND FINALLY:
IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,
DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:
"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

Education -- These
British 16 years olds have terrific senses of humour! These
are real, unadulterated answers from British 16 year-olds, in their
GCSE's (end of year exams...) GEOGRAPHY
Q: Name the four seasons.
A: Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar.
Q: Explain one of the processes
by which water can be made safe to drink.
A: Flirtation makes water safe to drink because it removes large
pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists.
Q: How is dew formed?
A: The sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire.
Q: What is a planet?
A: A body of earth surrounded by sky.
Q: What causes the tides in the
oceans?
A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water
tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon,
and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in the
fight.

Aa-Ttissue
A man and a woman were
sitting beside each other in the first class section of the plane. The
woman sneezed, took a tissue, gently wiped her nose and then shuddered
quite violently in her seat. The man went back to his reading. A few
minutes passed. The woman sneezed again, took a tissue, gently wiped
her nose and shuddered quite violently in her seat. The man was
becoming more and more curious about the shuddering. A few more minutes
passed and the woman sneezed one more time. Again she took a tissue,
gently wiped her nose and shuddered violently.
The man had finally had all he could
handle. He turned to the woman and said, "You've sneezed three times
you've taken a tissue and wiped your nose then shuddered violently! Are
you all right?"
The woman replied, "I'm sorry if I
disturbed you. I have a rare condition and when I sneeze, I have an
orgasm."
The man, was feeling a little embarrassed
but even more curious and said, "I've never heard of that before. What
are you taking for it?"
The woman looked at him and said, "Pepper."

Love,
Lust, or Marriage?
How do you know if
you're in love, in lust, or really married? For those of you who have
any questions, or misplaced envy, this should clear it up:
LOVE - When your
eyes meet across a crowded room. LUST - When your tongues meet across a
crowded room. MARRIAGE - When you lose your child in crowded room.
LOVE - When
intercourse is called "making love." LUST - When intercourse is called
"screwing." MARRIAGE - What the hell are you talking about?
LOVE - When you
share everything you own. LUST - When you steal everything they own.
MARRIAGE - When the bank owns everything.
LOVE - When it
doesn't matter if you don't climax. LUST - When the relationship is
over if you don't climax. MARRIAGE - What's a climax?
LOVE - When you
write poems about your partner. LUST - When all you write is your phone
number. MARRIAGE - When all you write is cheques.
LOVE - When you
show concern for your partner's feelings. LUST - When you couldn't give
a &*%$ MARRIAGE -When your only concern is what's on TV.
LOVE - When your
farewell is "I love you, darling..." LUST - When your farewell is "So,
same time next week..." MARRIAGE - When your farewell is a relief.
LOVE - When you are
proud to be seen in public with your partner. LUST - When you only see
each other naked. MARRIAGE - When you never see each other awake.
LOVE - When your
heart flutters every time you see them. LUST - When your groin twitches
every time you see them. MARRIAGE - When your wallet empties every time
you see them.
LOVE - When nobody
else matters. LUST - When nobody else knows. MARRIAGE - When everybody
else matters and you don't care who knows.
LOVE - When all the
songs on the radio describe exactly how you feel. LUST - When the song
on the radio determines how you do it. MARRIAGE - When you listen to
talk radio.
LOVE - When
breaking up is something you try not to think about. LUST - When
staying together is something you try not to think about. MARRIAGE -
When just getting through today is your only thought.
LOVE - When you're
only interested in doing things with your partner. LUST - When you're
only interested in doing things TO your partner. MARRIAGE - When you're
only interested in your golf score.

2002 Darwin Awards! They are finally out again.
Last year's winner was the fellow who was killed by a Coke machine
which toppled over on top of him as he was attempting to tip a free
soda out of it.
And the 2002 nominees are:
9. A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply,
because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with
milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and he vomited
into the fireplace in his house. The resulting explosion and fire
burned his house down, killing both him and his sister.
8. A 34-year-old white male found dead in the basement of his home died
of suffocation, according to police. He was approximately 6'2" tall and
weighed 225 pounds. He was wearing a pleated skirt, white bra, black
and white saddle shoes, and a woman's wig. It appeared that he was
trying to create a schoolgirl's uniform look. He was also wearing a
military gas mask that had the filter canister removed and a rubber
hose attached in its place. The other end of the hose was connected to
one end of a hollow wooden tube approx. 12" long and 3" in diameter.
The tube's other end was inserted into his rectum for reasons unknown,
and was the cause of his suffocation. Police found the task of
explaining the circumstances of his death to his family very
awkward.
7. Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude
when another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moon the
occupants of the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraft
and crashed. They were all found dead in the wreckage with their pants
around their ankles.
6. A police officer in Ohio responded to a 911 call. She had no details
before arriving, except that someone had reported that his father was
not breathing. Upon arrival, the officer found the man face down on the
couch naked. When she rolled him over to check for a pulse and to start
CPR, she noticed burn marks around his genitals. After the ambulance
arrived and removed the man-who was declared dead on arrival at the
hospital the police made a closer inspection of the couch, and noticed
that the man had made a hole between the cushions. Upon flipping the
couch over, they discovered what had caused his death. Apparently, the
man had a habit of putting his penis between the cushions, down into
the hole and between two electrical sanders (with the sandpaper
removed, for obvious reasons). According to the story, after his orgasm
the discharge shorted out one of the sanders, electrocuting
him.
5. A 27-year-old French woman lost control of her car on a highway near
Marseilles and crashed into a tree, seriously injuring her passenger
and killing herself. As a commonplace road accident, this would not
have qualified for a Darwin nomination, were it not for the fact that
the driver's attention had been distracted by her Tamagotchi key ring,
which had started urgently beeping for food as she drove along. In an
attempt to press the correct buttons to save the Tamagotchi's life, the
woman lost her own.
4. A 22-year-old, Glade Drive, Reston, VA, man was found dead after he
tried to use octopus straps to bungee jump off a 70-foot railroad
trestle. Fairfax County police said Eric Barcia, a fast-food worker,
taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped one end around one
foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park,
jumped and hit the pavement. Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman,
said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found
nearby. "The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than
the distance between the trestle and the ground" Carmichael said.
Police say the apparent cause of death was "Major trauma".
3. A man in Alabama died from rattlesnake bites. It seems that he and a
friend were playing a game of catch, using the rattlesnake as a ball.
The friend-no doubt a future Darwin Awards candidate - was
hospitalised.
2. Employees in a medium-sized warehouse in west Texas noticed the
smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building
extinguishing all potential sources of ignition; lights, power, etc.
After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas
company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they
had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of
the lights worked. Witnesses later described the sight of one of the
technicians reaching into his pocket and retrieving an object that
resembled a cigarette lighter. Upon operation of the lighter like
object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to
three miles away. Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter
was virtually untouched by the explosion. The technician suspected of
causing the blast had never been thought of as 'bright' by his
peers.
1.Based on a bet by the other members of his foursome, the last nominee
for this year's Darwin Award (awarded to people for incredible feats of
mental lapses whose demise aids in improving the gene pool) goes to
.... Everitt Sanchez who tried to wash his own "balls" in a ball washer
at the local golf course. Proving once again that beer and testosterone
are a bad mix, Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle
his scrotum in the machine Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped
the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez's scrotum in
place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism. Sanchez, who
immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from
his perch. Unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was
more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a
normal stance, and the scrotum was the weakest link. Sanchez's scrotum
was ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him
forever and remained in the ball washer, while the other testicle was
compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the
washer, and the rotating machinery inside. To add insult injury,
Sanchez broke a new $300.00 driver that he had just purchased from the
pro shop, and was using to balance himself. Sanchez was rushed to the
hospital for surgery, and the remaining threesome was asked to leave
the course. Now, obviously, this last nominee did not expire; however,
since he is forever sterilized, the nominating committee believed he
warranted an opportunity in this year's competition.

HISTORY ACCORDING TO 6TH
GRADERS
The following were answers supposedly provided by 6th graders during
history tests. Watch the spelling! Some of the best humor is in the
misspelling.
1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies
and they all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The
climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live
elsewhere.
2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red
Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any
ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten
commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
3. Solomon had three hundred wives and
seven hundred porcupines.
4. The Greeks were a highly sculptured
people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had
myths. A myth is a female moth.
5. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who
went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from
an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic
decline.
6. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on
the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they
thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee,
Brutus."
7. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was
canonized by Bernard Shaw.
8. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen."
As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her
troops they all shouted "hurrah."
9. It was an age of great inventions and
discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another
important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is
a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking.
10. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world
with a 100-foot clipper.
11. The greatest writer of the Renaissance
was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on
his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of
his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in
Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.
Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.
12. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare
was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was
John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he
wrote Paradise Regained.
13. Delegates from the original 13 states
formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin
Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin
discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "A
horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and
is still dead.
14. Abraham Lincoln became America's
greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born
in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed
the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of
April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by
one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assinator
was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's
career.
15. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical
compositions and had a large number of children. In between, he
practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died
from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the
world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half
English. He was very large.
16. Beethoven wrote music even though he was
deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the
forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in
1827 and later died for this.
17. The nineteenth century was a time of a
great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand
and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat
caused a network of rivers to spring up.
Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick
raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Louis Pasteur discovered a
cure for rabbits.
Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote
the Organ of the Species.
Madman Curie discovered the radio.
Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers

Two Little Trouble
Makers
A couple had two little
mischievous boys, ages 8
and 10. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents knew
that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the
blame. The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been
successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak
with her boys. The clergyman agreed and asked to see them individually.
So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the
older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon. The clergyman, a huge
man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him
sternly, "Where is God?" They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no
response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open. The clergyman
repeated the question. "Where is God?" Again, the boy made no attempt
to answer. So, the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his
finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God!?" The boy
screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove into
his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found
him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?" The younger brother,
gasping for breath, replied: "We are in real BIG trouble this time! God
is missing, and they think we did it!"

Revenge
Subject: Obnoxious arrogant schoolmates; how to show them their
place:
If you're sure the offender is the next person to use the shower
you're
in
luck and that person will be blue. Here's how: Go to the VET
and
purchase
some fairly large empty gelatine capsules, fill them with something
like
RIT,
a dye used to dye clothes in the washing machine. Personally I
prefer
Woad
Blue, but then I'm a Scot. Purchase some plain gelatine at the
grocery.
Mix
it up in hot water and after the surface becomes the least bit
sticky
dip
the capsule in and dry it with an hair dryer, repeat this
several
times.
Admittedly this part is a bit tricky.
Zip into the WC, carefully remove the shower head, pop a few
capsules
in the
pipe and replace the shower head. Then when the water flows at
first
no
color will flow, about the time your schoolmate gets soapy and
closes
the
eyes -- well then the color will flow. OBTW There is no cure, it
has
to
wear off. Usually humility wears on at the same time.
--------------------------
Another outstanding trick is to
sneak into the WC and stretch Saran
Wrap
over the toilet bowl. Make a really neat job of it. This is best
done
late
Friday or Saturday night. When the offender returns from a night
of
revelry
that person will approach the white throne depending on their specific
degree of devotion, they may reverently kneel, respectfully stand or
sit in
quiet spiritual contemplation. In any case they will be dazed
and
amazed.
--------------------------
In rather cold damp climates I've
found the early morning application
of
Super Glue to the appropriate door knob a few minutes before it will be
grasped is quite a bonding experience. As a person so joined as it
might be
said, is usually in a state of undress the opportunities for contumely
and
opprobrium are virtually infinite.
----------------------------
If the offending person has been
out drinking and is now abed and if
perchance a hand of the offender dangles from the bed, well,
hummm.
Fill a
small bowl with slightly cooled water, stack some stuff so you can
sit
the
bowl on it and carefully immerse the offender's hand in the
slightly
cooled
water... Beat a silent but hasty retreat. Shortly the offender
will
awaken
realizing he had a liquid problem and now has to lay in it.

Dimocracy
-- Government by the
intellectually challenged
~~~|H-n-T|~~~
Be aware that the French government announced yesterday
that it has raised its
terror alert level from RUN to HIDE. The only two higher levels in
France are
Surrender and Collaborate. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire
that
destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing their
military
capability.
It's not only the French that are on a heightened level
of alert, The Italians
have increased their alert level from "shout loudly and excitedly" to
"elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain, "ineffective
combat
operations" and "change sides".
The Germans also increased their alert state from
"disdainful arrogance" to
"dress in uniform and sing marching songs". They have two higher
levels,
"invade a neighbour" and "lose".
Seeing this reaction in continental Europe the Americans
have gone from
"isolationism" to "find somewhere else in the Middle East ripe for
regime
change". Their remaining higher alert states are "take on the world"
and "ask
the British for help".
Finally here in the UK we've gone from "pretend
nothing's happening" to "make
another cup of tea".

An elderly
man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large
pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and
some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up
for swimming when it was built. One evening, the old farmer decided to
go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it
over. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he
neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he
came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his
pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the
deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until
you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you
ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked." Holding the
bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."

The Son's Note
A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed
was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope
propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed,
"Dad"
With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter
with trembling hands:
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you.
I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a
scene with Mom and you.
I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice-even with
all her piercing, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes. But it's
not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be
very happy.
Even though you won't care for her as she is so much older than I, she
already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for
the whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and
that's now one of my dreams too.
Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be
growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine
and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will
find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of
myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to
know your grandchildren.
Your loving son,
John
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than
my report card that's in the center drawer of my desk. I love you!
Call when it is safe for me to come home.

PLANE RIDE JOKE
A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of
a great forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting
to fly him over the fire.
The photographer arrived at the airstrip an hour before sundown. Sure
enough, a small Cessna airplane was waiting.
He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, "Let's go!" The tense man
sitting in the pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they
were in the air, though flying erratically.
"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, and make
several low-level passes."
"Why?" asked the nervous pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a
photographer, and photographers take pictures."
After a long pause the "pilot" replied, "You mean, you're not my
instructor?"
