George,

 GP> Rules, Regulations, & Guidelines for Fidonet's FUNNY Jokes and Stories
 GP> echo

  I knew there was a catch to it...but now, you've got us hook, line, and
sinker, fishing for content. <G>

 GP> Note all are labeled #1 as they're all important --

  Better than classed as #2. :P

 GP> #1: don't be a jackass; you're a guest in other people's home.

  Oh, Pooh, Eeyore are so stubborn. Maybe Christopher has been Robin the
content in Sherwood Forest. 

 GP> #1: grammar & punctuation is probably important -- mis-use opens
 GP> yourself up to funny or punny ridicule.

  PMS jokes aren't funny...period.

 GP> #1: This echo is rated PG-16; i.e. content should not be overly
 GP> shocking to the average 16 year old (boy or girl); no porn -- that's
 GP> elsewhere in cyberspace

  They're hearing the stuff all the way down into kindergarten. And, as
we talked in another post awhile back, even the toddlers are getting
overly nasty to their parents (one said "[screw] you, Mommy"). If I had
talked like that to my parents, I wouldn't be here.

 GP> #1: NO auto-posting (bots); this echo is for humans; if you can fully
 GP> understand these  rules, you are likely human.

  But, what if you're human and don't understand them?? It's as bad as
the warning on a coffee cup noting "Contents Are Hot".

 GP> #1: the mods are not responsible for any damage to your connection
 GP> devices (including modems & computer & monitor) perpetrated by a
 GP> moderator's use of the Freister Device (detects your personal(not BBS,
 GP> not your fido upline) source  system & sends proprietary signals to
 GP> cause your disks, CPU, mainboard, & modem to die ("fry" from Freister,
 GP> the inventor, & my friend)

  Is it patented??

 GP> #1 Swearing should be kept to a minimum -- & only as befits the
 GP> joke/thread -- we're adults here & should act & talk like it.  If
 GP> you're mixing them in  randomly like salt & pepper, you're too young to
 GP> be in here.

  I'm sure the kids are hearing the stuff in elementary school and earlier...
never mind "playing doctor", doing their own "exploratory surgery"...and
that's the naked truth.

 GP> #1: We only roast the ones we love

  Some of those celebrity roasts from years ago (you can find them on
YouTube) were a scream. But, if you are what you eat, what if your
favorite food is rump roast??

 GP> #1: The End (or is it?)

  The bottom line is the vertical crack in your butt.

Daryl
