Nine Dollars and Ninety-Five Cents!!! Since this was just what he had been looking for, he went inside to inquire. No sooner had he mentioned that he was interested in the $9.95 trip to Hawaii than a rouge stepped up behind him and hit him over the head with a blackjack... A Tektronix employee was (later) walking down the same street, saw the same ad, and also went in to inquire. Again, no sooner had he expressed his desire about this $9.95 trip to Hawaii than he too was hit over the head with a blackjack.... The Tektronix employee regained conciousness only to find that he was chained to the oars of a slave galley and rowing vigorously out to Hawaii. He turned to the man next to him, the Bell Labs employee, and said, "Gee, after this trip I sure hope they fly us back." The Bell Labs Employee replied, "They didn't the last time." ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
