I've seen that some days as well. Thunderstorms are forecast here from Wednesday through next Sunday, so I'm likely going to be offline, with no BBSing or email for several days. Oh well, I can catch up on sleep. BM> I don't know the origin but with the accent mark would tend to be a BM> possibility. Your spelling made sense and there is a colour 'mauve' so BM> was thinking maybe a word I hadn't heard of. Not sure...but it ruined the whole design when it got in there. BM> Now why is the pun contest benefiting a candy bar?! Because it was sweet?? :P BM> (Hang on folks: it's going to get worse!) The beauty of the pun is in the groan of the recipient. BM> Well at least I didn't get the two minute bell! Never mind the 2 minute warning. I'll have to get it off of the BBS computer and post it...unless it's in the 90 day cycle of the autoposts. BM> Fast thinking needed!! A quick quip. That is true. BM> Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Well, that reminds me of a joke. Every time this woman, who loved riding motorcycles, every time she farted, she wouldn't hear the "poot", but "Honda"...like starting the motorcycle up. So, she goes to her doctor, and gets naked, for her to examine her butt. The doctor groans "Oh, no!!". Panicked, the woman screams "What??!!". Her doctor tells her she has an anal abscess...because "abscess makes the fart go Honda". I know...don't quit my day job . Daryl ....
