To All:


Since laughter is conceded to be good medicine for the soul I

thought I would ship this recently received version of the

TOURBUS to all on the PIE.


The TOURBUS is a weekly publication dealing with a little of

everything and has a LOT about computers, phony email VIRUS's,

various web sites and more.


I have been using it for a couple years and haven't been

disappointed yet.


Best wishes.......Jack

>COULD IT BE TRUE?

>=================

>

>Consistently good humor is hard to find -- on the net or anywhere

>else.  Here's a net source so good it's been written up by Newsweek,

>the Washington Post, and the New York Times.  The LA Times said that

>its author is "The Jay Leno of Cyberspace"!

>

>THIS is TRUE is a weekly newspaper column by Randy Cassingham that's

>also available by email subscription.  It summarizes recent

>bizarre-but-TRUE news stories from the world's "legitimate" press.

>Each story is punctuated by Randy's outrageous and ironic comments.

>Here's a sample:

>

>> WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH THAT?  Diana LaPorta, running for a seat

>> on the Volusia County (Fla.) School Board, insists she has a

>> bachelor's degree even though a local newspaper has revealed she

>> earned it at "Hamburger University", a training program for

>> employees of the McDonald's hamburger chain.  When asked to clarify

>> her education, LaPorta said "it does say on my diploma that it is a

>> 'degree of bachelor'." (Reuters) ...If she gets on the school board,

>> that may be the only university the kids will be eligible for.

>

>If you're tired of the silly urban legends that people pass around by

>e-mail, Cassingham's THIS IS TRUE newsletter is Dr.  Bob's

>prescription for a good laugh.  To subscribe to THIS IS TRUE, send any

>email message to [log in to unmask]  For more details visit

>ARE WE HAVING FUN, PEOPLE?

>==========================

>

>If you ask Patrick Crispen about his favorite mailing list, he'll

>undoubtedly tell you it's Peter Langston's Fun_People list.

>people have been online.  The only messages that are distributed to

>the Fun_People list are things that Peter Langston thinks are funny

>and/or interesting ... and Peter is an excellent editor.

>

>If you'd like a sampling of the kind of postings you'd see if you were

>a subscriber, visit the Fun_People homepage and poke around in the

>archives, which date back to 1991.  This site also contains

>information on how to subscribe to the Fun_People list.  Find out if

>you're worthy!

>Contributors send their own original witticisms on a specific topic,

>and Chris picks the best of the crop for each "Top 5" list (which

>often has more than five items).

>

>Top 5 is always funny, but sometimes a little on the bawdy side.  Top5

>has been on the net since 1994, and they've cranked out nearly 700

>lists in that time, with their lists popping up in well-known print

>magazines like Rolling Stone and hundreds of radio stations worldwide.
