Humor on list

[Farrell]

Hi Debbie,

My mistake it seems. I had only been reading bits and pieces of that thread, but I kept seeing stuff about vacuums and such. I thought the guy was serious. He sounded so! It just seemed to me to be ridiculous for folks to keep responding to that nonsense - but now I see that they were perhaps responding to a running joke. Okay, I guess the joke is on me   ;-).  See, I do have some small sense of humor!   ;-)

Vacuums for pitch - hey, I can only assume there has been worse!

I'll quit and go to bed now.

  I was responding to the comment below made by Terry and  commented upon by David I.  I probably should have left the Subject line alone!  The Okinawan Proverb was for its own sake and those who are curious.

    Debbie, 

    No translation wanted. Just wondering why you posted this. Did I miss something?

      To all,
       
      My two dollars worth (inflation, you know).  The humor issue comes up periodically.  We are a list made up of all sorts of folks (obviously) but the one thing we have in common are computers with delete keys.  Personally, I enjoy a good chuckle, particularly at the end of a long work day.  Yes, some of the humor threads get a tad long, but so what?  I can choose to read them or not.  The same for some of the *serious* threads that get too longwinded!  And, yes, I am a professional.  Does that negate having a sense of humor?
