Mike, $B:9=P?M(J: Kenneth Whistler [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Go man! Actually, if he's half Jamaican, I think you have to say Go mon, which is also the Japanese for 50,000, yes? No, actually, it is Japanese for 5th question, although that seems to be only your first question. goman is Japanese for 50,000. But at this point, what I think you two fellers, and perhaps the Jamaican, too, should say to the list is gomen, for continuing this farce. --Ken /|/|ike

I was using English semantics for the letters a and o, whereas Ken was using Romaji semantics. Maybe I should have written it in IPA - except I don't know IPA. Such is life, /|/|ike
A pun - will this work?
A half-Jamaican, half-Japanese man is trying one of those contrived pseudosports you see on cable TV. He is aiming to beat the record score of 49,999 points.

Punning is a vocabulary mind set that even a pica-mind can render. There is no bad joke like a good pun. It is a great way to lose friends and make enemies. The only really challenging puns are the multilingual ones. Now that I have been avoiding puns and have fallen out of practice I find that my kraft is ebbing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom Emerson Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 3:08 PM To: Ayers, Mike Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: a joke- with no typos Ayers, Mike writes: What I want to know is: if the fonts cause trouble, will the barman call the serif? This whole thread is going to the gutter pretty fast---only a dingbat would keep punning like this. I just can't justify it. Maybe I'll slap you up the sidehead.
