From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: Happy Anniversary
With the continuing interest in the Internet, all three local TV stations in Baltimore Maryland descended upon my residence when it was learned I had posted jokes daily for two years on November 24, breaking all previous records world-wide.
The interviews were short-lived though. When the first reporter asked me how I found the time to devote to jokes and web pages with a wife, two children & five grandchildren, as well as take care of all the bushes and gardens on the property.
I responded: "Grandchildren ??? Bushes ??? Gardens ???" and that pretty much ended the interviews.
I file all mail received concerning my jokes under either pro or con,
but this one stumped me as to which file to put it in:
"Your jokes never cease to amaze me."
Another reader commented on my personal touch to my jokes:
"You do a great job of telling jokes as if all these things actually happen
to you...
They don't, do they ???"
I received one letter which caused me to worry about some
of the people we have receiving the Humor List:
"Just to say thanks for all your great contributions to Humor. They seem
original, really evil, and with a personal vicious touch. Keep em coming
!"
Naturally my sexist humor draws a good bit of ire from the chicks:
"Now listen-up slick !!! When a woman writes and demands to know 'What
the hell is up with you ?' that's NOT a request from a young maiden for more
information on yourself. Scheesch !!!"
Some fans offer advice:
"You, my dear sir, have one of the most devious minds I've ever encountered.
Hopefully, you'll continue to channel your energies into Humor and not begin
a life of crime, or worse -- enter politics. I shudder at either thought."
And of course, the college crowd keeps in touch from time to time:
"I am researching jokes on the heterogeneous nature of asymmetrical colloid solutions and their effect on electrolytic dissociation. Can you help? Thanks in advance."
