Sometimes the best jokes on this BBS get met with no replies.

Humor is unpredictable and a matter of taste, and I try not to expect a response especially if I deadpanned something. I started to feel guilty, though, that someone might actually believe me!

I still have an ex-boss who, thanks to me, believes that those little wall anchors were invented by a Frenchman named Jacques Molay (and he probably pontificates on that subject at parties -- that kind of guy). I can live with that. The two women I overheard in a bar planning a kayak trip to AK who I convinced that grizzles could be repelled by filing a bit of their kayak with a flat file (something about polyester , esters, vapors...)? Well, I could live with the notion of them going to the next Mountaineers meeting and announcing "Hey, we heard about this great new way to repel bears....", but then I had this vision of the two of them in mid-stream furiously filing away.... After about 20 minutes... I had to tell them.

I just have a fatal attraction to information vacuums.
