Aunt Dora went to her doctor to see what could be done about her 
constipation. "It's terrible," she said, "I haven't moved my bowels in a 
week." 
"I see. Have you done anything about it?" asked the doctor. 
"Naturally," she replied, "I sit in the bathroom for a half-hour in the 
morning and again at night." 
"No," the doctor said, "I mean do you take anything?"
"Naturally," she answered, "I take a book."  

Microsoft Addresses Justice Department Accusations

REDMOND, Wash. - Oct. 23, 1997 -- In direct response to accusations made by the Department of 
Justice, the Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will be acquiring the federal government 
of the United States of America for an undisclosed sum.

"It's actually a logical extension of our planned growth", said Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, 
"It really is going to be a positive arrangement for everyone".

Microsoft representatives held a briefing in the oval office of the White House with 
U.S. President Bill Clinton, and assured members of the press that changes will be "minimal". 
The United States will be managed as a wholly owned division of Microsoft. An initial public 
offering is planned for July of next year, and the federal government is expected to be 
profitable by "Q4 1999 at latest", according to Microsoft president Steve Ballmer.

In a related announcement, Bill Clinton stated that he had "willingly and enthusiastically" 
accepted a position as a vice president with Microsoft, and will continue to manage the United 
States government, reporting directly to Bill Gates. When asked how it felt to give up the 
mantle of executive authority to Gates, Clinton smiled and referred to it as "a relief". He 
went on to say that Gates has a "proven track record", and that U.S. citizens should offer 
Gates their "full support and confidence". Clinton will reportedly be earning several times 
the $200,000 annually he has earned as U.S. president, in his new role at Microsoft.

Gates dismissed a suggestion that the U.S. Capitol be moved to Redmond as "silly", though did 
say that he would make executive decisions for the U.S. government from his existing office at 
Microsoft headquarters. Gates went on to say that the House and Senate would "of course" be 
abolished. "Microsoft isn't a democracy", he observed, "and look how well we're doing". In 
addition, Gates said, all state and local branch governments will have to renew their licensing
agreements with the new Microsoft Federal Government in order to keep current liberty rights 
intact. "It's not anti-competitive, only acting as any capitalist soverign would toward lesser 
competitors."

When asked if the rumored attendant acquisition of Canada was proceeding, Gates said, "We don't
deny that discussions are taking place".

Microsoft representatives closed the conference by stating that United States citizens will be 
able to expect lower taxes, increases in government services and discounts on all Microsoft 
products.

Q. Where is the best place in a book store to find a man who is handsome, 
a good lover and a stimulating partner?

A. In the pages of a romance novel. 

A pastor in Maine skipped services one Sunday to go bear hunting.
Along the trail he turned a corner and collided with a bear. the
pastor stumbled, backwards, slipped off the trail, and began
tumbling down the mountain, the bear in hot pursuit. Finally the
pastor crashed into a bolder, breaking both his legs and sending
his rifle flying through the air, just out of his reach.
 As the bear closed in, the pastor cried out "Lord, I'm sorry for
what I have done. Please forgive me and save me! - Lord please
make this bear a Christian".
 Suddenly the bear skipped to a halt at the pastor's feet, fell
to it's knees, clasped it's paws together, began to weep and
said "God bless this food which I am about to receive!"
