Subject:  HumorList Weekly Traffic Report

Good Morning y'all, here I am with this week's Traffic Report. This is the Weekly Traffic Report that is sent to all of the HumorList subscribers once a month.

There are only a few days left in April, which was our "Every Member Get A Member" month. While it is true we obtained 360 new subscribers so far, you can notice from the numbers below that our totals are still over 2,000 less than this same time last year.

I'd like to ask each of you, who have not done so yet, to sign up a new member this week.

And now for a contribution of humor:

Like most married couples, Mrs JimJr and I have had our disagreements. Tired of the "cold shoulder" after a few days, I put on my best contrite puppy dog look and said, "I'm sorry hon. I've been thinking it over and decided that you were totally right and I was wrong."

"You're too late !" she snapped. "I've changed my mind !!!"
