LETTER HOME FROM SCHOOL

Dear Mom and Dad:

It has been four months since I left for college. I have been remiss in writing and am very sorry for my thoughtlessness. I will bring you up to date now, but before you read on, please sit down. Dont read any further unless you are sitting down … OK?
Good. I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and the concussion I got from jumping out of the window of my dormitory when it caught fire, shortly after my arrival, are pretty well healed now. I only spent two weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost normally and only get three headaches a day.
Fortunately, the fire in the dormitory and my jump were witnessed by an attendant at a nearby gas station, and he was able to call the Fire Department and the ambulance. He also visited me at the hospital, and since I had nowhere to live because of the burnt-out dorm, he was kind enough to invite me to share his apartment with him. Its really a basement room, but it is kind of cute. He is a very fine boy and we have fallen deeply in love and are planning to get married. We havent set the exact date yet, but Im sure it will be before I start to show.
Yes, Mom and Dad, I am pregnant. I know how much you are looking forward to being grandparents, and I know you will give the baby the same love and devotion and tender care you gave me when I was a child.

The reason for the delay in our marriage is that my boyfriend has some minor infection which prevents us from passing our premarital blood tests, and I carelessly caught it from him. This will soon clear up, thanks to my daily penicillin injections.

I know you will welcome him into our family with open arms. He is kind, and although not well educated, he is ambitious. Also, he is of a different race and religion than ours, but I know, after all your years of teaching me tolerance, that you wont mind the fact that he is somewhat darker than we are. I am sure you will love him as I do. His family background is good, too; I am told that his father is an important gunbearer in his native African village.

I guess thats it. Now that I have brought you up to date, I want you to know … There was no dormitory fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I was not in the hospital, I am not pregnant, I am not engaged, I do not have syphilis and there is no man of another race in my life. However, I am getting a D in History and an F in Science, and I wanted you to see these marks in their proper perspective.

Your loving daughter,

Chelsea

Funny things speakers say

If everything goes as planned this evening, we shouldnt run more than hour late.

Our next guest is the greatest guy in the world. And thats not my opinion – its his.

These handouts may not make much sense at first, but youll discover that theyre very handy to doodle on when I get real boring.

This lighting really plays tricks on your eyes. Im actually a lot more handsome and skinnier than I look.

Thats a very good question. See me during the break, and Ill avoid answering it then, too.

Dont be embarrassed to ask even the simplest, most basic question–Those are the only one Ill be able to answer.

Our guest of honor finally got an office with a window, but now he spends all day asking, Would you like fries with that order?

I think the small turnout can be blamed on your excellent newsletter – obviously, too many people knew Id be here.

I dont want to suggest that todays food was bad, but three terrorist groups have called in to claim responsibility.

Gee, is my time up already? It seems like only last Thursday I started this speech.

This is part of the online manual entry for the unix date command. If anyone can understand it, apply to join the civil service this minute:

If you attempt to set the current date to one of the dates that the standard and alternate time zones change (for example, the date that daylight time is starting or ending), and you attempt to set the time to a time in the interval between the end of standard time and the beginning of the alternate time (or the end of the alternate time and the beginning of standard time), the results are unpredictable.

Quite.

Halloween party

A nun gets into a cab and the cab driver wont stop staring at her.

She asks him why is he staring and he replies,
I have a question to ask you, but I dont want to offend you.

She answers, My dear son, you cannot offend me. When youre as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. Im sure that theres nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.

Well, the cab driver says, Ive always had a fantasy that a nun performs oral sex on me.

She responds, Well, lets see what we can do about that. First, you have to be single, and secondly, you must be Catholic.

The cab driver is very excited and says,
Yes, I am single and Im Catholic too!

The nun says, OK, pull into the next alley.

He does and the nun fulfils his fantasy.

But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. My dear child, why are you crying? says the nun.

Forgive me sister, but I have sinned, says the cabby. I lied. I must confess, Im married and Im Jewish.

The nun says, Thats OK. My name is Kevin and Im on my way to a Halloween party.
