<HTML>For Greg Beukema--delete this. It is a joke & you don't want them on the list. I rather <U>like</U> having them and am very careful to send only the best jokes and not too often.<BR> For others who like an occasional joke. . . . . enjoy . . . . .Nancy V<BR> <BR> <BR> A pheasant was standing in a field chatting to a bull. "I would<BR> love to be able to get to the top of yonder tree', sighed the pheasant,<BR> 'but I haven't got the energy'.<BR> <BR> 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the <BR> bull.<BR> <BR> 'They're packed with nutrients'.<BR> <BR> The pheasant pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually<BR> gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The<BR> next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.<BR> <BR> And so on and so forth. Finally, after a fourth night, there he was<BR> proudly perched at the top of the tree. Whereupon he was spotted by a<BR> farmer who dashed into the farmhouse, emerged with a shotgun, and shot<BR> the pheasant right out of the tree.<BR> <BR> Moral of the Story:<BR> <BR> Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. <BR> </HTML>
