[AccessD] OT: Friday humor

This topic is OT clearly labled and on a TUESDAY,  Let's take it to the 
OT list if it requires further discussion

please note the netiquette at
http://www.databaseadvisors.com/lists/netiquette.htm

Specifically...
...
"We try to maintain a light, family oriented environment and recognize 
that humour and banter are part and parcel. However please restrict 
posting of jokes (topical, non-offensive only) to Fridays and mark them 
as OT/Humour in the subject line. Be also advised that we have a 
separate OT list, that you are welcome to join. Please use that to keep 
the traffic on AccessD very much ON topic. Because of the virii that can 
cause havoc with html mail, do not use html mail. Actually, plain text 
is preferred by most people as it downloads faster." ...

Thus what is offensive to one may not be offensive to someone else, if 
such material is unwanted simply add a filter to your email program that 
can easily remove OT subjects from your inbox, or simply delete such email.

Thanks,
Francisco
