Shocked the wife tells the boy to go to his room,
and think about what he just said.

A few minutes later the husband says to his wife,
"How about me and you play soldiers and you can blow
the hell out of me?"

You know you are suffering from "Empty Nest Syndrome" if....

You have thrown out the better part of the last several
one-gallon jugs of milk, but still can't bring yourself to
buy the one-quart cartons.

You called the power company and asked them to check your
meter, because the hot-water bill has been way too low.

You suddenly realize that you no longer need to include
video late fees as part of the monthly budget.

You are shocked when you notice you can push the buttons
on the car radio and KNOW what station you will get.

The bottle of shampoo has been in the shower so long you
are starting to think it might be a mystical experience -
kind of a loaves-and-fishes thing.

They've been gone three years and you still cook enough for
your husband to have seconds and thirds ... and fourths.

You still walk through the living room in the crouched
position with your picking-up hand brushing the floor, even
though it encounters no dirty socks.

You ask the mechanic to check why your car is costing so
little to run.

Your cupboards overflow with uneaten school lunch treats.

You still hide your best make-up.

A cantor, the man who sings the prayers at a synagogue,
brags before his congregation in a booming, bellowing
voice, "two years ago I insured my voice with Lloyds

There is a hushed and awed silence in the crowded
room. Suddenly, from the back of the room, the quiet,
nasal voice of an elderly woman is heard, "So vat

An old Jewish woman has been invited to help screen a movie
for the rating it'll carry. The movie is an old remake of a
Roman Gladiator-type movie.  In the middle of the movie is a
scene where the Romans are feeding people to the lions. The
little old lady hits the buzzer she's been given, which stops
the movie.

The attendant comes down to her chair and says, "Yes, ma'am?"
"This movie should be rated 'R'," she says, "because those
Jews are being fed to the lions!"

The attendant says, "Ma'am, those are Christians, not Jews."
"Oh.....  Ok.  Well, start the movie up again."

A few minutes later she again presses the buzzer.  The
attendant comes down to her chair.  "Yes ma'am?"

She points to the screen.  "Those lions over there...
....they're not eating!"

Robinson Crusoe fell desperately ill. Just before dropping into a coma,
he called for his man Friday to help him. Friday, not knowing what else
to do, went outside of Crusoe's tent and danced around and prayed for
the gods to come and help his master.Shortly afterwards, he went back
into Crusoe's tent and found his master awake and staring at a beautiful
glowing shape at the foot of his bed. "Who is that?" Robinson Crusoe
asked. His helper answered, "Thank Friday! It's God!"

A 4-year-old son was eating an apple in the back seat of the car,
when he asked, "Daddy, why is my apple turning brown?"

"Because," his dad explained, "after you ate the skin off, the
meat of the apple came into contact with the air, which caused it
to oxidize, thus changing the molecular structure and turning it
into a different color."

There was a long silence. Then the son asked softly, "Daddy, are

���-------------------------WEIRD NEWS---------------------------���

A female Thai teacher has been praised by inspectors
for showing a pornographic film to a secondary school
class.

Nakhon Santiyothin says she played five minutes of
the movie to help her pupils learn about sex.

She told inspectors the video had been confiscated
from one of the pupils at the all-boys Suan Kularb
School.

The Bangkok Post reports Mrs Nakhon said she would
use the same technique again if a student was caught
with films of a sexual nature.

Student Saran Hongsakul told the newspaper that
reports of pornography being screened at the school
distorted the facts.

He said: "She played the film very briefly and gave
us advice."

The Bangkok senate panel on women, youth and the
elderly carried out an inspection of the school's sex
education lessons and questioned Mrs Nakhon about her
decision to screen the film.

After hearing evidence, the committee members gave
Mrs Nakhon their backing.

Children's rights advocate Wallop Tangkhananurak said
the Education Ministry should study sex education
classes at Suan Kularb as a model for imparting a
better understanding of the subject.

A woman was called to serve for jury duty, but asked
to be excused because she didn't believe in capital
punishment and didn't want her personal beliefs to
prevent the trial from running its proper course.

But the public defender liked her thoughtfulness and
quiet calm spirit, so he tried to convince her that
she was appropriate to serve on the jury.

"Madam," he explained, "this is not a murder trial!
It's a simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case
against her husband because he gambled away the
$12,000 he had promised to use to remodel their
kitchen for her birthday."

"Well, okay," agreed the woman, "I'll serve. I guess
I could be wrong about capital punishment after all."

���---------DUMB CROOK OF THE DAY AWARD---------���

Released Tuesday after serving eight months in Placer
County jail for auto theft and drunken driving, Jessie
Del Alexander never got out of the facility's parking
lot.

Less than 15 minutes after being given his freedom,
the 28-year-old Loomis resident was back in jail for
allegedly plotting a bank robbery with an undercover
officer who met him in the parking lot.

Placer County Sheriff's Capt. Rick Armstrong said it
was one of the quickest arrests he has seen of a man
released from jail.

"I've seen them get arrested for getting into a fight
in the parking lot with their wives or girlfriends,
but not one where they walked into the arms of law
enforcement for planning another crime," Armstrong
said.

Roseville Police Lt. Gary Shonkwiler said authorities
learned that Alexander planned to rob a bank within a
week of being let out of jail.

Four agencies -- the FBI, Placer County Sheriff's
Department and the Roseville and Rocklin police
departments -- arranged for an undercover officer to
meet with Alexander in the parking lot.

Shonkwiler said Alexander then solicited the undercover
man's help for a bank robbery. He was arrested at
6:10 a.m. -- just 14 minutes after he'd walked out of
jail, the lieutenant said.

Alexander is charged with soliciting another person to
commit a felony and is being held on $30,000 bail.

Issue #20

BELIEVE IT OR ELSE
One Justice for Bush, One for the Rest of Us

     "This is a private issue as it relates to my daughter and myself and 
my wife," said Florida Governor Jeb Bush after his daughter Noelle was 
caught with crack in her shoe. "The road to recovery is a rocky one for a 
lot of people that have this kind of problem."

    Hey Jeb, you and everyone else, buddy boy. Please explain why you get 
to treat your daughter's drug use as a medical problem, which it is, while 
everyone else has to go to prison for doing the exact same thing. To call 
you a hypocrite is to do a disservice to all the other workaday hypocrites 
in the world. You're the fucking King of Hypocrites, a role model for all 
those who aspire to success in the land of hypocrisy. You're a drug 
warrior, daily wasting untold stacks of taxpayer money on a completely 
useless policy of putting people with medical problems in jail, while 
openly admitting that drug abuse is a "private issue" that works best when 
the "road to recovery" avoids prison. The harm you do to families by 
breaking them up is infinitely worse than the harm done by the drugs 
themselves.

     Hey Jeb, if you have a shred of human decency, why don't you give 
everybody in Florida the Noelle Bush treatment? Grant every nonviolent drug 
offender in the Florida state prison system a full and immediate pardon. 
Oops, I forgot. The Bushes are missing the "shred of human decency" gene.


Moment of Silence

terrorist attack on America, let's have a moment of silence for all the 
innocent victims of American terrorism in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Korea, 
Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, China, the Philippines, Laos, East Timor, 
Greece, Turkey, Honduras, Guatemala, Ecuador, Nicaragua, the Dominican 
Republic, El Salvador, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Panama, Haiti, Pakistan, 
Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Algeria, Nigeria, South Africa, 
Rwanda, Zaire, Sudan, Somalia, New York, and Afghanistan.

Say Aaaah!

In keeping with his plan to cut down trees in order to prevent forest 
fires, George W. Bush has come forward with a plan to remove teeth in order 
to prevent tooth decay. "It's obvious that the less teeth you have, the 
less chance you have of getting cavities," said the jolly dictator. "Anyone 
want to argue with that?"

Wacko Theory of the Week

Some scientists think it wasn't just a meteorite that caused the death of 
the dinosaurs. "If an 800-ton male thrust into a 100-ton female once every 
second, the impact would be the equivalent of 4,800 tons. That's like a 
60-kilogram woman on a bed making love to a 480-kilogram man," said Rikao 
Yanagida, head of a Japanese think tank. Yep, the dinosaurs were too huge 
to fuck.

Joke from Planet Proctor

     The priest in a small Irish village was very fond of the rooster and 
about ten hens he kept in the chicken house in the back of the rectory. But 
one Saturday night the cock rooster went missing and the priest suspected 
it had been abducted for a cock fight, and he decided to do something about 
it at church the next morning.
     At Mass, he asked the congregation point blank, "Has anybody got a 
cock?" All the men stood up.
     "No, No," he said, "That wasn't what I meant, at all. Has anybody seen 
a cock?" All the women stood up.
     "No, No," he said, "You misread my meanin'. Has anybody seen a cock 
that doesn't belong to them?" Half the women stood up.
     "No, No," he said, "What I really mean is, has anybody seen my cock?"
     At that, all the altar boys stood up.

Dear Dr. Hollywood,
An agent is interested in my writing. Although he hasn't signed me, he has 
indicated that he would like to. He doesn't act shady or charge me for 
reading fees, or what not.

However, my concern is that his agency is a "boutique," and although it's 
pretty unlikely I will land major representation until I have some scripts 
under my belt, I'm wondering how effective a small agency can be. 
Especially when I mention the name, and none of my writer wanna-be 
acquaintances have heard of it. Are these agencies only able to get through 
to the people they "know," or can they technically push you to as many 
exec. producers as you want?

I've heard that the most important thing is that the agent pushes for you. 
So perhaps my concerns are irrelevant. Any thoughts?

Sincerely,

Kara

Dear Kara,

Thank you for braving time and space to contact me.

My sense is that he's already shopping you. Happens all the time. Think of 
it like this. He's a fisherman and you're trying to sell him some bait, but 
he doesn't want to buy the bait until he's got a nibble. When he gets a 
nibble, he'll sign you.

String him along while working on your own leads. Don't expect him to do 
your work for you. My experience is that agents who find you work are a 
myth. Agents field offers. You get any offers, you take them to him. Got 
it? Your job is to find him offers. Let him make your follow-up calls. I 
bet there are hundreds of specific actors and directors and producers you'd 
like to submit to. Call them.

Let's say it's Rob Reiner. When his production company says they don't 
accept submissions without agents, say "so I can have my agent send it to 
you?" They will say yes. Call the guy who says he's almost your agent and 
tell him that ROB REINER WANTS TO READ YOUR SCRIPT, give him the address to 
send it to, and tell him how to pitch it. Don't assume he already knows why 
your script is perfect for Rob Reiner. Explain it to him and get a promise 
that he'll send it out immediately.

If he doesn't do that for you, if he doesn't follow up on YOUR LEADS, fuck 
him, he's history. Please don't sit back expecting him to find leads for 
you. Honestly, I've never seen it happen. He's your back-up negotiator. 
YOU'RE in charge of your career, not him. Make those calls.

MD

WHO'S GOING TO HELL THIS WEEK?
by Helen A. Handbasket

You never know who's going to trade their soul away or what they're going 
to get for it unless you're Helen A. Handbasket, ex-executive chief in 
charge of operations for the burning flames of hellfire. Who are her 
sources? Wouldn't you like to know? Sorry, all communications are 
confidential and the property of Helen A. Handbasket, whose opinions do not 
necessarily reflect those of this or any other publication.

PREDICTION FROM HELL
In a few years, we're going to be hearing about Twin Towers disease as all 
the people who cleaned ground zero get sick from all the crap they inhaled.

HISTORY LESSON FROM HELL
     In his book, They Thought They Were Free, Milton Mayor chronicled 
the  thoughts and experiences of citizens in Nazi Germany and offered a 
glimpse  of how the German people could have allowed the Third Reich to 
thrive. As  one unnamed scholar reported:
     "What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little 
by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions 
deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated 
that the government had to act on information which the people could not 
understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could understand it, 
it could not be released because of national security ... Each step was so 
small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' 
that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, 
unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 
'little measures' that no 'patriotic German' could resent must some day 
lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his 
field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head."

APOLOGY FROM HELL
Last week's link to the story about the Third Reich's "Law for Removing the 
Distress of People and Reich" was incorrect. It's actually here, at the 
John Birch Society, who are very anti-Bush. Yes, hell has frozen over.

falling out.

POEM FROM HELL

Saddam Hussein sat on a wall
Saddam Hussein had a great fall
but all the U.S. soldiers and money we send
couldn't put Iraq together again.
- Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. -

QUOTES FROM HELL

"Let us not look not back in anger, or forward with fear, but around in 
awareness."
- James Thurber -

"The victor will never be asked if he told the truth."
- Adolf Hitler -

"You can hardly point to a cataclysmic event in our history, whether it was 
the sinking of the Titanic, the Pearl Harbor attack, the Kennedy 
assassination, when a blue-ribbon panel did not set out to establish the 
facts and, where appropriate, suggest reforms. That has not happened here."
- John F. Timoney, former senior police commander in New York -

"When Halliburton was using subsidiaries to re-build the damaged oil fields 
of Iraq it was doing more business with the evil one than any other 
American company. All this is in the public record. It was reported on over 
two years ago by that radical publication the Financial Times of 
London.  Why has the mainstream press refused to report on this? That is a 
good question that remains unanswered. Is it impossible for them to analyze 
anything? Why is it that today's press coverage has no connection with 
anything that has happened in the past. It was like everyday is the first 
day of the rest of your life."
- Denis Mueller -

"Like B'rer Rabbit in the Joel Chandler Harris story, President Bush is 
about to smash the nation's collective fist into the tar baby of
the Middle East."
- Gary North -

"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have 
perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a 
distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government."
- James Madison -

"Nuclear bombs, whether they're used or not, violate everything that is 
humane. They alter the meaning of life itself. Why do we tolerate them? Why 
do we tolerate these men who use nuclear weapons to blackmail the entire 
human race?"
- Arundhati Roy from Under a Nuclear Shadow -

"America is a quarter of a billion people totally misinformed and 
disinformed by their government. This is tragic but our media is - I 
wouldn't even say corrupt - it's just beyond telling us anything that the 
government doesn't want us to know."
- Gore Vidal -

"Think not lightly of evil, saying, 'It will not come to me.'
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little,
fills himself with evil."
- Buddha -

"You can fool some of the people, all of the time - and those are the ones 
you have to concentrate on."
- George W. Bush -

"I'm for total honest democracy. I also believe the American system can work."
- Woody Allen from Stardust Memories -

"Evil can also type."
- Noah benShea -

Acknowledgment

dIsInFoTaInMeNt ToDaY consists of information from dozens of sources, cut 
up, thrown in the air, and recycled randomly. It is sent all over the 
place, so I apologize if you're seeing the same thing twice. If you see a 
joke, graphic, or news item that came from or through you, thanks, send 
more, and please accept the fact that much of dIsInFoTaInMeNt ToDaY is 
unacknowledgeable, and if I sought permission from everyone whose 
bastardized material showed up here, I'd never get anything else done. 
Please note that I don't even put my own name on it.

Thanks,
