Subj: [kl] Christmas Joke
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 13:51:51 -0500

It`s only a joke you guys. We`re almost entering into another war of the
Ton`y`s`s`s`s```. I give up. Think the only place where I`m gonna find some
`puter peace is <on> the sodding island. But I guess it was my incorrect
English, which is confusing you all. So I`ll apologise and rephrase it, -
"Who would you choose to rescue you, if you were marooned on a desert
island? Is that clearer?
Have a nice day - - - - - -
