OT - For Jay Honeck...a little Iowa City humor
Why did the University of Iowa replace natural grass with Astroturf?
To discourage the cheerleaders from grazing during games. How many UI freshmen does it take to change a light bulb? None.....That's a sophomore course at UI. What does a UI football player get on his final exams? Drool. How can you tell a UI cheerleader is on the level? Tobacco spit coming equally out of BOTH sides of her mouth... {;-) Jim] Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres. Cyberchapter EAA Tech. Counselor http://www.rst-engr.com |

Overheard in the lobby of the Alexis Park Inn: Guest: "Exceuse me, sir, can you tell me where the bathroom is at?" Inn Manager: "One should never end a sentance with a preposition." Guest: (scratches his head - looks a littl annoyed) "Well, umm, can you tell me where the bathroom is at . . . asshole?" -- Jim Fisher |

The Inn Manager: (paraphrased) Jay owned a small hotel in Iowa City. The Wage and Hour Department of Iowa claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to interview him. "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent. "Well, there's my maintenance man who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit that works about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him airplane fuel," replied Jay. "That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit," says the agent. Jay says, "That would be me." |

Supposedly the fastest that a professional baseball manager was ever thrown out
of a game: Casey Stengel: Where was that pitch at? Umpi We don't end our sentences with a preposition. Stengel: OK, where was that pitch at, asshole? Umpi YOU'RE OUT OF HERE. "Jim Fisher" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: - -Overheard in the lobby of the Alexis Park Inn: - -Guest: "Exceuse me, sir, can you tell me where the bathroom is at?" - -Inn Manager: "One should never end a sentance with a preposition." - -Guest: (scratches his head - looks a littl annoyed) "Well, umm, can you -tell me where the bathroom is at . . . asshole?"

At the risk of starting a grammar debate - ending sentences (in English)
with prepositions is acceptable. (No matter what you 8th grade English teacher or your Latin teacher told you) "Jim Fisher" wrote in message ...
