Collage 102 H u m o u r N e t 2 AUG 95 First order of business: apologies ... * For the spelling errors in Collage 101. I was rushing to get it completed and sent before the VAX was shut down for the weekend (blame Nancy for that one :-). * To anyone who has had trouble accessing Colossus over the last several weeks. The server has been experiencing some Colossal problems over the past few weeks. Hope- fully, it's fully back on line now, but there are no guarantees ... And now, back to our regularly-scheduled program ... Well, we're still several weeks short of a verdict, but here is the not-very-comprehensive list of O.J. jokes, anyway. Thanks go to the "Letterman Top Ten" mailing list and to J.D. for the material. (J.D. also gets kudos for acquiring his pilot's license--just *terrible*, the effects of those FAA cutbacks, huh?) If you have more O.J. material, send it along, and I'll include it in future Collages. For now, it's Collage 102 ...
