 GP> Why's what?

Pope" but that

:-) I meant why wasn't a ':)' ?

 GP> I have always loved collecting & sharing humour (jokes, puns,
 GP> parodies, etc.)

Me too, but I'm afraid of, if I translate them, the point wouldn't be there..

 GP> Once a member of my echo asked me if by being Cyberpope I was "the
 GP> bishop of ROM" and I could only answer, "I am, NOW,
thanks!" and so it
 GP> was!

Hehe :)

 BS>  GP>> There's ALWAYS some funny content!

Oh, but there is written rules right?

 GP> (if in doubt, pop into MC&D (Mindless Chatter & Drivel,
 GP> tagname=CHATTER) and jump on into the fray! *LOL*)

Hm.. I'm reading that echo, then I got time :-)

 BS>  GP>> this mess of a computer HDD!! :(
 BS>>
 BS>> I know that from my self, and one rainy day i'm cleaing it up :)

 GP> That excuse doesn't work for ME, cuz I live in Vancouver area, where
 GP> it ALWAYS rains! *LOL*

"Where are we?", typical answer if you don't know,
"Somewhere in Vancouver" ;)

 GP> as the following little stories illustrate:

 GP> Vancouver, British Columbia Humour

Damn you must be freezing :)

 GP> * A newcomer to Vancouver arrives on a rainy day. She gets up
 GP>   the next day and it's raining. It also rains the day after
 GP>   that, and the day  after that.  She goes out to lunch and
 GP>   sees a young kid and, out of despair, asks, "Hey, kid,
 GP>   does it ever stop raining around here?"
 GP>   The kid says,  "How  should I know? I'm only 6."

LOL! A kid in London would say the same  :)

 GP> * "I can't believe it, " said the tourist.  "I've been here
 GP>   in Vancouver an entire week and it's done nothing but
 GP>   rain.  When do you have summer here?"
 GP>   "Well, that's hard to say, " replied the local. "Last year,
 GP>   it was on a Wednesday."

Hah :)

 GP> * What do you call two straight days of rain in Vancouver?
 GP>   An average weekend

 GP> * What did the Vancouver native say to the Pillsbury Doughboy?
 GP>   "Nice tan."

Huh?

 GP> * Meteorological experts were predicting a gargantuan rain
 GP>   storm that would destroy the Pacific NW with a flood.  Rev
 GP>   Falwell went on national TV and said, "This is your
 GP>   punishment from God.  Prepare to meet your Maker."  The
 GP>   Prime Minister went on national TV and announced, "Our scientists
 GP>   have done all they can. The end is near."
 GP>   The Vancouver evening news came on and said, "Today's
 GP>   five day forecast.... same as usual."

Haha!!

 GP> * What does daylight savings time mean in Vancouver?
 GP>   An extra hour of rain.

 GP> * A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting
 GP>   in the long line of judgment.  As he stood there he
 GP>   noticed that some souls were allowed  to march right
 GP>   through the gates of Heaven.  Others, though,  were led
 GP>   over to Satan who threw them into the burning pit.
 GP>   But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into
 GP>   the fire, Satan would toss a soul off to one side into
 GP>   a small pile.  After watching Satan do this several times,
 GP>   the fellow's curiosity got the best of him.  So he
 GP>   strolled over and asked Satan....."Excuse me, Prince
 GP>   of Darkness," he said.  "I'm waiting in line for judgment,
 GP>   but I couldn't help wondering, why are you tossing those
 GP>   people aside instead of flinging them into the fires of
 GP>   hell with the others?"

 GP>   "Ah, those..." Satan said with a groan.  "They're all from
 GP>   Vancouver; they're too damn wet to burn yet."

 GP> * What do you call blue skies in Vancouver?
 GP>   A 30 second time out.

 GP> * How do they wash the streets in Vancouver?
 GP>   Huh?!?!....You're not from Vancouver, are you?

Damn sad, I don't have any funny jokes from my Area/Country :/

 BS>  GP>> I have a grep ability on the OTHER computer, but not on this
 BS>  GP>> DOS
 BS>> one,
 BS>  GP>> which has most of my text stuff! :(
 BS>>
 BS>> UNIX? :)

 GP> Nope, Win98, with a freeware text utility called V that includes a
 GP> grep utility. . .

Ahh cool! :) I saw Pete Kvitek wrote something there looks like AWK.

 BS>  GP>> I don't think I've seen you in FUNNY yet! :|
 BS>>
 BS>> I'm subscribed and reading, just laughing :)

 GP> Well, do pop in and post your favourite joke(s), ok? :)

As i wrote, they are at my native language, and maybe they won't be funny
if i translate them but I'll have a try someday :)

Bo
