The good Doctor is getting a bit moldy this time around, but I liked the
Barney joke. I'd thank whoever sent it personally, but there was no sig.

Here's some more for the humor file, for placement under "what a difference
a letter makes."

The following were winners in a New York Magazine contest (for people
with far too much free time on their hands) in which contestants were to
take a well-known expression in a foreign language, change a single
letter, and provide a definition for the new expression.

>HARLEZ-VOUS FRANCAIS? - Can you drive a French motorcycle?
>EX POST FUCTO - Lost in the mail
>IDIOS AMIGOS - We're wild and crazy guys!
>VENI, VIPI, VICI - I came; I'm a very important person; I conquered

know
