Subject: 1993 Humor Digest
As y'all know, I've been collecting old Digests for a Web Archive. I happened
upon an early post by our List's Founder and thought y'all might enjoy seeing
it. The Humor List had approximately 850 members at the time this post was
written.

Special note: Sara Pummelhart posted the 1000th post last Thursday --
that's an important milestone for this young list.
Two Norwegians, two Swedes, and two Danes were stranded on a desert island.
When the rescue party arrived two months later, the Norwegians were fighting,
the Danes had formed a cooperative, and the Swedes were still waiting to
be introduced.
A citizen of Oxford, England, moved to London, where he soon found himself a little bit too superior to the rest of the population. So in order to fit in to the environment, he had to do a surgery to remove half of his brain.
Very well, he went to a hospital to get it done. The surgeon, however, made
a mistake during the operation, and instead of removing _half_ of the brain,
he removed the whole thing. When the patient woke up, his first word was
"Howdy!
The Dane, the Swede, and the Norwegian were arguing about which country was most advanced in medicine.
"Well, in our hospitals," the Dane bragged, "we had a lady who had lost her arm. We put in a mechanical arm, and now it works just as if it was her own!"
"Hah, that's nothing," said the Swede. "In our hospitals, we had a person without a heart. We put in an artificial one, and now he is running for the olympics!"
"Hahaha," said the Norwegian. "We had a person who had gotten his head chopped off. We put on a cabbage, and now he is in the parliament!"
