Greg tells me about his sister-in-law (yet another gorgeous
blonde):  We were playing Trivial Pursuit on night. It was her 
turn, she rolled the dice and she landed on "Science & Nature" 
Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls 
your name, can you hear it? She thought for a time and then 
asked, "Is it on or off".

LETTING GO

During the Persian Gulf War, I was assigned to go to Saudi Arabia.  As I
was saying good-bye to my family, my three-year-old son, Christopher,
was holding on to my leg and pleading with me not to leave.  "No, Daddy,
please don't go!" he kept repeating.

We were beginning to make a scene when my wife, desperate to calm him,
said, "Let Daddy go and I'll take you to get a pizza."

Immediately, Christopher loosened his death grip, stepped back and in a
calm voice said, "'Bye, Daddy."

Swedish business consultant Ulf af Trolle labored 13 years
          on a book about Swedish economic solutions. He took the
          250-page manuscript to be copied, only to have it reduced to
          50,000 strips of paper in seconds when a worker confused the
          copier with the shredder.
