    I enjoy a good pun--thanks...
    Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?

    Here's a new banjo joke I heard recently.

    Q) Why isn't there any banjos on Star Trek?

    A) Because, Praise God it's in the future!

    I've always wondered why the Café doesn't have a humour section!

    There was a terrible plane crash where everyone perished. As the souls were headed to the afterlife, they were moved into two lines by angels. At the head of one line was Saint Peter: "Welcome to heaven; here is your harp!" At the head of the other line was Lucifer: "Welcome to hell; here is your accordion!"

    I always wondered what would become of characters like these when childhood is over. There is a Charlie Brown Christmas Reunion video that gives you a clue and leaves you slightly deflated for lack of surprises, but - remarkably - Schroeder is not in it (I suspect he is too happy for reunions).

    So that piano is really separating worlds.
