<A Classic!>

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Los
Angeles to New York. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun
game. The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely
declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer
persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you
pay me five dollars, and vice versa."

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you
pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end
to this torment, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth
to the moon?"

The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00
bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

"Okay," says the lawyer, "your turn."

She asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four
legs?"

The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his
references ... no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and
searches the Internet and the Library of Congress ... no answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no
avail.

After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.

The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and asks,
"Well, what's the answer?"

Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5,
and goes back to sleep.

And you thought blondes were dumb.

Paul dies and finds himself before the pearly gates of Heaven. St. Peter
tells him that he cannot enter yet because he cheated on his income
taxes. The only way he might get into heaven would be to sleep with a
dumb, ugly woman for the next five years and enjoy it.

Paul decides that this is a small price to pay for an eternity in heaven.
So, off he goes with this woman, pretending to be happy. As he walks
along, he sees his friend Sam up ahead with an even uglier woman.
When he asks what's going on, Sam replies "I cheated on my income
taxes and scammed the government out of a lot of money." They both shake
their heads in understanding and figure that they might as well hang out
together to help pass the time.

Now Sam, Paul, and their two ugly women are walking along, minding
their own business when they see someone who looks like their old friend
Russell up ahead. This man is with an absolutely gorgeous woman.

Stunned, Sam and Paul approach the man and discover it is their friend
Greg. They ask him how it is he's with this unbelievable goddess,
while they're stuck with these god-awful women. Greg replies, "I have
no idea, but I'm definitely not complaining. This has been absolutely
the best time of my life, and I have five years of the best sex any man
could hope to look forward to. There is only one thing that I can't seem
to understand. Every time we finish having sex, she rolls over and
murmurs to herself, 'Damn income taxes!'"

If Merge is a misunderstood driving instruction, then Yield is an
incomprehensible concept in a foreign language, for which there are no
English words to describe it.

It does not mean stop. That would be a stop sign. It's red and
octagonal-you can count the sides while you are stopped. A stop sign is not
a yield sign, although many drivers reverse the two.

It does not mean "merge at all costs including a collision." It does apply
to you even if you have a bigger vehicle.

You should "Yield" to other traffic and let them go first before you pull
your sorry excuse for a car into the flow of traffic. That may be where
they came up with the name for the sign. And all this time you thought the
department of transportation was organized just to piss you off.

And yes, you still have to yield, even if you run over the sign.

It is believed some employees were watching a porn video
when a studio technician pressed the wrong button.

The pornographic material was then broadcast to viewers

Irate viewers flooded the NBC radio phone-in programmes
with calls, expressing disgust over the footage.

The Namibian says the two people who were dismissed were
a director and an operator at the studio in Windhoek.

NBC said: "An unfortunate incident occurred on NBC-TV when
undesirable material was accidentally transmitted during
the broadcast of the mini-series 'Deadlines'.

"The NBC wishes to express our sincere regret for this

How I survived the LA Riots
by Michael Dare

South Central was not my favorite part of town but I had gotten to know it
well. My social worker behaved as though I was supposed to be grateful for
her kindly allowing my four-year-old son Buster to be moved from a group
home in El Monte to a group home in South Central but it wasn't so much of a
blessing. Though he was now physically closer to his home in Hollywood,
which is what I had been asking for, there was no freeway between us. Having
to use surface streets made the trip take just as long. Look at a map and
you'll see a thousand different possible routes from Melrose and Fairfax to
Slauson and Arlington. For months I explored, discovering all the shortcuts
and intersections to be avoided. I knew where to get ice cream, I knew where
to get donuts, I knew where to get incredible ribs, and only the
functionally illiterate would have had the slightest problem finding liquor.

It was April 29, 1992. I wended my way from the comfort of ultra-liberal
West Hollywood to South Central. I was picking up Buster for an overnight
visit, which is the final stage on the visitation scale before any child is
actually physically released to the parent from the county. They'd had him
for nine months and we had had hundreds of visits. Down San Vicente to Pico,
Pico to Arlington, Arlington over to Crenshaw and Martin Luther King. I was
blocks away and needed a cigarette  so I stopped at a place called "The
Smoke Shop" hoping they might carry American Spirit, only to discover that
all they sold were chemicals for cocaine processing in large quantity. A
different sort of American Spirit. If I was being followed by the county,
this was a bad place to stop.

I decided I'd get cigarettes afterwards since I couldn't smoke during the
visit anyway. A suburban street, just a line-up of homes, one standing out
because of a fenced in backyard full of toys and sandboxes and slides and
children, all black except mine, including the women running the group home,
who were doing a great job. The place was spotless. I couldn't hope to
create a cleaner or healthier environment at my home, which made getting my
kid back another sort of challenge. Man, how can you compete with a fully
funded, well-stocked group home? This place looked MUCH healthier for a kid
than my bachelor digs in an old, faux-Spanish, red tile and stucco Hollywood
courtyard full of rock musicians and degenerates.

I knew I was being watched. It was a tricky situation because the women of
the place have confided in me that they have heard my social worker bragging
about her "white baby" and they think it's terrible and they think Buster
doesn't belong there. So they're on my side. I went to the front door, got
buzzed in, and went to the desk first. It was a makeshift office between the
living room and the kitchen - a big playroom where all transactions took
place. I showed my ID and signed a paper promising to bring him back in good
shape, and they signed a paper stating he was in good shape when he left.

I sat down to watch TV while waiting for them to bring in my son. The Rodney
King case was on the news. The women pulled up chairs to watch since the
verdict had apparently come in. Suddenly all the kids came running in.and
they were all over me, six little kids, all under five.  I was the only
father who visited the home, so any time I showed up it turned into playtime
for all. They were being raised by women so the presence of a male made them
all go nuts, jumping all over me, playing, I didn't mind, love kids, I'm
daddy to all of them, the more the merrier, it's hard to tear myself away
but in the midst of all this mayhem I hear the word "Innocent"  repeated
over and over from the TV.

The adults in the room look at each other in stunned disbelief. Innocent?
How could they be innocent? The whole world saw the tape  Obviously they did
it. We were in complete agreement that the verdict made absolutely no sense.
We kept watching as the commentators showed the tape again, explaining that
it wasn't that the four cops were innocent of delivering the beating to
Rodney King but that they were innocent of WRONGDOING. In other words they
were just behaving the way cops were supposed to behave under those
conditions. The LAPD was vindicated. I pulled up a chair and watched when
the women started looking at each other nervously. We agreed this was bad.
Very bad. Finally, one of them said "I think you should take your son now."
Good idea. I separated my offspring from the herd and got the hell out of
there.

On the way home, Buster and I stopped to get some ice cream at a Thrifty
nearby. We got home, turned on the TV, and saw the place we had just stopped
for ice cream burning down.

Like everyone in L.A., we were stuck to our televisions for the night. For
most people, watching the riots on television was like watching a report
from a foreign country. Nobody from Hollywood or Burbank or Westwood ever
visits South Central, so the destroyed landscape they watched was beyond
recognition. But Buster and I knew the neighborhoods first hand. We watched
in a daze. "Look Buster, there's that fried chicken place we go to burning
down." "Look Daddy, there's my pre-school."

I was supposed to return him the next morning but the local TV news made the
trip look suicidal. Luckily, the phone rang and it was the group home. "It
isn't safe to come anywhere near," they said. "Stay away." I agreed to keep
Buster through the weekend.

Then I remembered all his stuff, his clothes, his toys, were still at the
group home. I told them I'd try to get there to pick up his stuff. "Stay
away," they said. Buster needed toys, he needed puzzles, he needed his
books, his videotapes. All the cool stuff I had for him was at the group
home. There was nothing for him to do. A friend agreed to watch him for an
hour while I snuck back through the riots to the group home to pick up
Buster's stuff, which they willingly gave me, wishing me luck as I headed
home. Got home to see Reginald Denny pulled from his truck and beaten.

"Why are they doing that, daddy?"

"Because he's white."

"So what?"

"Some other white men did a bad thing to them, so they think it's okay to do
a bad thing to another white man, even though this white man had nothing to
do with the white men who did something bad to them, and actually it wasn't
them but some other black guy the white men did a bad thing to."

I've felt that way myself. I was once ripped off by some bikers. For years
I'd look at bikers and snarl, vowing vengeance till I finally realized that
taking revenge against someone who simply shares physical characteristics
with the people you're really mad at is insane. Revenge has got to be
personal. Some day I'll get those bikers. But I didn't tell Buster that.

On Monday Buster was supposed to be returned again. Our social worker,
Rhonda Wilson called and asked why I hadn't returned my son. I told her it
wasn't safe and the group home agreed. She told me that the group home has
no authority over the decision as to whether my son should be returned. She
ordered me to bring him back immediately or she would come by to pick him up
herself.

This seemed as good a time to make my stand as any. I decided I'd keep him.
Me and Charlton Heston. They'd have to tear him from my cold dead hands. Let
the cops show up. Haven't they got anything better to do?

Every client on earth is told by their lawyer never to talk directly to the
judge unless they are asking you a question. I disobeyed that advice and
wrote a personal letter to the judge and send it overnight.

I got a call the next morning from my attorney who said "What did you do?' I
told her.

"Judge Silver came in this morning and did something I've never seen a judge
do," my attorney told me. I guess she got my letter. First thing in the
morning, before getting to her schedule, Judge Silver ordered all
representatives in the Dare case into the court, then made a motion and
ruled on it without arguments. Nobody had ever heard a judge rule on her own
motion, much less without arguments.

At first it was hard to make sense of the ruling, which basically said I
could keep my son until my social worker proved it was safe for him to be
returned. Why not just give him to me? "Then they'd have to admit that the
group home wasn't safe and they'd have to return all those other kids," my
attorney explained. I  panicked. By leaving the decision in Rhonda Wilson's
hands, the situation didn't seem changed at all. There was nothing to stop
her from simply calling the next day and saying "It's safe. Return him." But
my attorney explained this was a big victory, that the burden of proof had
shifted from me to them. The judge had presumed it was safe for Buster to
stay with me, so I no longer had to prove it.

Rhonda Wilson called the next day and said "It's safe, return him."

"Don't tell me it's safe," I said. "Tell the court. You've got to prove to
them that it's safe, not me."

She was furious. "That wasn't what the judge ruled."

"Yes it was," I said, knowing full well that neither of us were actually
there when the ruling was made.. "My lawyer told me I could keep him."

"Well that's not what I was told," she replied a little unsurely. "I was
told that his return was left at my discretion." She was truly unhappy at my
assertion that she had been overruled, but she had to face the fact that the
ruling was ambiguous and could be interpreted in my favor. Now that Buster
was in my possession, the burden of proof was back on her to justify another
removal from his home.

She called the next day. "Mr. Dare, we do not believe you had the right to
pick up your child from the group home. But since you have already done it,
your son obviously thinks he's staying with you, so we believe it would be
detrimental to return him. We don't think it's good for him to be shuttled
back and forth. Though we disagree with what you did, for his mental well
being, we will recommend to the court today that your son be released to you
until the next hearing."

I took Buster with me several times to see Dr. Tirengal, my court appointed
therapist. I didn't mind. I wanted the court to hear that my son was doing
well from someone they trusted. I was out of the room when Dr. Tirengal
asked Buster "If there was anything at home that you could change, what
would it be?" When the parents aren't around, this is a standard question
asked of children who are potentially abused. It gives them the opportunity
to say "I wish daddy wouldn't hit me" or "I wish they wouldn't tie me to the
bed." After giving the question serious thought, Buster replied "I'd like to
change the water in the goldfish bowl."

A month later, he was finally legally and physically mine. I feel better
now. There is no precise moment when the pain stopped. There are all the day
to day pains of living to take the place of the single predominant pain that
occupied my life for so long. At least I'm no longer apt to break into tears
at strange moments.

As the one person on earth who actually benefited from the riots, I want to
thank the judge in the Rodney King case, Stanley Weisberg, who was also the
judge in the McMartin Preschool case, and who is also the very same judge
who gave me custody of Buster three years previously. His original decision
has withstood a brutal attack, and stands steadfast once again. My son is
mine, not just because Weisberg's original decision was sound, but because
one of his juries made a horrible mistake, and I decided to stand my ground.
The city went crazy, 50 lives were lost, but I got my son back.

I want to thank the Rodney King jury for returning my son to me in the most
profoundly appalling possible way. Thanks a lot. I also want to ask them if
they believe the Warren Commission since they suffer from the same strange
malady; they believe what others tell them rather than their own lying eyes.

One look at the Zapruder film and you can't fail to notice that Kennedy's
head is knocked back and to the left. A simple combination of optical input
and common sense leads anyone with the slightest knowledge of the laws of
physics to come to the conclusion that the bullet came from the front and to
the right. Yet people still insist upon believing experts who tell them the
opposite.

One look at the Rodney King tape and you can't fail to notice that an
unarmed man is getting severely beaten by several other men armed with
sticks and guns. Charles Manson did not get treated that way when he was
arrested. Sirhan Sirhan was shown all the courtesies when he was escorted to
jail. But Rodney King, a man guilty of driving too fast and acting
belligerent, was beaten within an inch of his life. The cops may have been
following established procedure, but to a whole lot of people, that was no
excuse. The jury insisted upon believing the experts who told them the
opposite of what they could see with their own eyes.

How can we explain away people with such little regard for their own senses?
Why do they trust others more than they trust themselves? How can so many
people conclude that their own eyes are wrong? Though there's no
justification for the damage they did during the riots, the actual community
of south central insisted upon believing their own eyes, that Rodney King,
despite being a sleazeball, behaved like Gandhi before him, defying
authority in the strongest and most moral possible way. He kept standing up.

"As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything in this world is
connected by a series of ties.  If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is
an independent, isolated thing, he is mistaken.  It is called a net because
it is made up of a series of interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its
place and responsibility in relation to other meshes."
- Buddha -
