C< .................... new postnews ........................
This is my third attempt at posting this. The new postnews
is a joke in itself.
I got an item of e-mail this morning, apparently as a 
result of the two civil servant jokes I posted recently.
I couldn't read either the text (if there was any), or
the source, since it was thoroughly messed up by the system,
but I suspect it was a flame from a Canadian (or other
sensitive person) who was offended by my reference to 
Canadians in the jokes, so allow me to explain:
The jokes refered to Canadian civil servants because I first
heard the in Canada, from a Canadian civil servant,
while I was working for the Canadian civil service in Canada.
They were not intended to be offensive to Canadians, and only
mildly offensive to Canadian civil servants.
However, I love being offensive to the uncivil serpents we have
here in Chicago. I'd like to see them all condemned to use
the new postnews for 6 hours a day.
