JUDGE JUDY FOR INDEPENDENT COUNSEL OF ZIPPERGATE !!!

Someone mistakenly leaves the cages open in the reptile 
house at the Bronx  Zoo and there are snakes slithering all over 
the place.

Frantically, the keeper tries everything, but he can’t get them 
back in their cages.  Finally he says, “Quick, call a lawyer!”

“A lawyer?  Why??”

“We need someone who speaks their langauge!”

slammed into one of them. An ambulance was called and they 
rushed the little fellow off to the hospital where he immediately 
went into hours of surgery. 

Finally the doctor emerged and approached the other carrot 
who had been anxiously awaiting in the waiting room.

You Always Remember Your First!

I remember my first ISP.  You always remember your first. 
Halcyon.com in Seattle.  So quick, so light, so ... responsive.  She
was never too busy for me.  It felt almost wrong, we were both so
young.  But how can love be wrong?  It was a magical time.

Then we were ripped apart.  I moved to Boulder, for a job.  How many
relationships have been ruined by money?  We tried to pretend at
first, we told each other that nothing would change, it would just be
a long distance relationship.  But I couldn't afford the phone bills,
and there was the time zone difference.  So we had to face reality,
and parted ways.

I soon discovered that I can't bear to be alone.  There was an
emptiness in my life.  I tried reading the Halcyon newsgroups from
work, but of course I was blocked.  Probably best, it was an
unhealthy thing to do. What was next, fly to Seattle and stand
outside the POP, in the rain?

I searched the yellow pages, hoping I could find a relationship that
way. But I was fearful.  What if long distance got in the way again? 
Then I found what I thought I needed.  Netcom.  They were everywhere!
 I could travel, or change jobs, and never be without my provider. 
And they wanted me.  They told me so, right on the phone.

It was a relief, but looking back I'm sure it was a rebound
relationship. And I kept getting mixed signals from Netcom, busy
signals.  She said she wanted me, but at the same time she implied
that she wouldn't be creating any new shell accounts.  But a shell
account was the foundation of our relationship.  I felt insecure, I
couldn't be sure sh

A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money was talking to
his lawyer. 

 "If I lose this case, I'll be ruined." 

 "It's in the judge's hands now," said the lawyer. 

 "Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?" 

 "Oh no! This judge is a stickler or ethical behavior. A stunt like that
would prejudice
 him against you. He might even hold you in contempt of court. In fact,
you shouldn't
 even smile at the judge." 

 Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision in favor of
the defendant. 

 As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to his lawyer, "Thanks
for the tip about
 the cigars. It worked!" 

 "I'm sure we would have lost the case if you'd sent them." 

 "But I did send them." 

 "What?? You did???" 

 "Yes. That's how we won the case." 

 "I don't understand," said the lawyer. 

 "It's easy. I sent the cigars to the judge, but enclosed the
plaintiff's business card."

The Kingdom of Peecee

In the beginning, there was nothing but Apple. And the PC was without
form and void, and the darkness was on the face of its hard drive. And
Bill said, Let there be DOS: And there was DOS. And Bill looked upon
it, and it was good, and with it the PC slew the Apple. And DOS grew
and grew, until its number was legion if you counted the decimal
points, and still it was good.

And Bill grew large with ambition, and he decreed there should be a
processor of words; and lo, there was Word. And Bill sayeth, Let there
be a thingy for the crunching of numbers, and lo, there was Excel, and
did his kingdom grow apace.

But there had arisen in the land the thing called Macintosh, sprung
from the intransigent Apple-men, and Bill looked upon it, and it was
better

Rapidly did he decree that Word should be made to run upon it, and
after that Excel, and then all the other fruits of his efforts, but
still he was wrathful.

So Bill did order his minions to come forth with Windows, and when
they did, he looked upon it, and it was bad.

So he sent them back to try again, assuring all the world they would
get it right this time, yet they did not.

Unrelenting, Bill forced yet a third mighty blow, and when it came
forth, Bill did order his trumpets to blow, and his chorus to sing,
and, his criers to cry, until the din could be heard throughout the
land; and when he looked upon this third version of Windows, he saw it
was not all that great, but like hotcakes did it sell.

And thus did Bill gloat, for the world proclaimed he had matched the
lowly Macintosh, and his praises were sung throughout the land.

And so he ordered another, mightier, more magnificent version made,
and his henchmen and henchwomen did labor hard.

Still it was not forthcoming in the year promised, nor the year
promised next, and rumors did abound, and magazines did overflow with
secret peeks, and columnists did heap their scorn upon it. And came
the minions of the Justice Department, bent upon proving Bill
monopolous, yet before his wrath did they quail, and proclaim him
innocent, mostly.

And that which was once called Chicago became known as Windows 95, and
the suspense built throughout the land, and Bill, remembering what had
gone before, set about building a great Hype.

Into his Hype he put the greatest mouths of the land, and scattered
the fruits of his profits so heavily that he bought hosts of angels to
sing, and Rolling Stones songs, and trumpets and horns and drums
without number. As the time of birthing grew nigh, he purchased
television time without end, and appeared thereon himself, and bought
entire editions of newspapers to give away unto the faithful, and
traveling circuses to visit each great city.

And so when Windows 95 was born did hysteria rule the land, as the
choirs sang and the trumpets and horns did blare and the televisions
and the newspapers charge their followers to go forth and buy.

Heeding this, the populace did rush to the marketplace at the stroke
of midnight, when even the cock doth sleep, and did push and shove and
come even to blows the better to secure their own copies lest they be
thought ignorant, or uncool, or hamsters in the eyes of Bill.

And Bill looked upon what he had wrought, and he giggled, and rubbeth
his hands together, and even in the moment of his triumph, began to
think of Next Time.
