Here are some BY the Younger Set:
These are the answers of six- to ten-year-olds about various aspects of
love: why it happens, what to do about it, etc., most contributed by Elaine
Jordaan {emjord@FISHNET.NET}.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF TWO ADULTS EATING DINNER AT A RESTAURANT ARE
IN LOVE?
-
"Just see if the man picks up the check. That's how you can tell if he's
in love." Bobby, age 9.
-
"Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold.
Other people care more about the food." Bart, age 9.
-
"Romantic adults usually are all dressed up, so if they are just wearing
jeans it might mean they used to go out or they just broke up." Sarah,
age 9.
-
"See if the man has lipstick on his face." Sandra, age 7.
-
"It's love if they order one of those desserts that are on fire. They like
to order those because it's just like how their hearts are -- on fire."
Christine, age 9.
WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE THINKING WHEN THEY SAY, "I LOVE YOU:"
-
"The person is thinking: Yeah, I really do love him. But I hope he showers
at least once a day." Michelle, age 9.
-
"Some lovers might be real nervous, so they are glad that they finally
got it out and said it and now they can go eat." Dick, age 7.
HOW WAS KISSING INVENTED?
-
"I know one reason that kissing was created. It makes you feel warm all
over, and they didn't always have electric heat or fireplaces or even stoves
in their houses." Gina, age 8.
HOW A PERSON LEARNS TO KISS:
-
"You can have a big rehearsal with your Barbie and Ken dolls." Julia, age
7.
-
"You learn it right on the spot when the gooshy feelings get the best of
you." Brian, age 7.
-
"It might help to watch soap operas all day." Carin, age 9.
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
-
"It's never okay to kiss a boy. They always slobber all over you. That's
why I stopped doing it." Tammy, age 10.
-
"If it's your mother, you can kiss her anytime. But if it's a new person,
you have to ask permission." Roger, age 6.
-
"I look at kissing like this: Kissing is fine if you like it, but it's
a free country and nobody should be forced to do it."
-
"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a
ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding."
Allan, age 10.
-
"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if
anybody sees you. If nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with
a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." Kally, age 9.
-
"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody
to clean up after them!" Anita, age 9.

try to sing.

Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was rather large.

Henry Purcell is a well-known composer few people have heard of.

Aaron Copeland is one of our famous contemporary composers. It is unusal
to be contemporary. Most composers don't live until they are dead.

In the last scene of Pagliacci, Canio stabs Nedda who is the one he really
loves. Pretty soon Silvio gets stabbed also and they live happily ever

My favorite composer is opus.

A virtuoso is a musician ...with real high morals.
-
My very best liked piece is the bronze lullaby.
L-O-N-G puns (or Shaggy Dog Stories):
-
Many people remember Golda Mier, the former Prime Minister of Israel. Not
many, however, remember her husband, Oscar. He was an active terrorist
leader in Plasticine in the 1940's, trying to get Israel recognized as
the Jewish homeland. Oscar Mier's band of terrorists were very famous,
and effective. They adhered to a strict dietary code in which they ate
only wheat and wheat-based products. This diet caused the men to develop
strong muscles, all right, but it made many of them irritable and obnoxious
too. Some of them developed attitudes that bordered on surly and ruthless.
And thus they were known far and wide as "Oscar Mier's All-wheat Meanies."
-
Did I ever tell you the story of the construction project at a mental hospital
in which the patients were encouraged to take an active part? This is not
a pun, but I enjoyed it anyway. One of the patients was nailing boards
on the side of a storage shed. Sometimes, he would take a nail out of his
pocket and pound it in, but about half of the time he would just put the
nail back in his other pocket. The construction foreman came along and
asked him why he only used about half of the nails. The patient replied
that those nails in his other pocket could not be used because they had
the head on the wrong end. The Foreman chuckled a little; but the patient
hauled him up short: "I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid! Those nails are
for the other side of this shed."

What would it be like if Dr. Seuss was a
tech writer???
.
Here's an easy game to play. Here's an easy thing to say:
.
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!
.
You can't say this?
What a shame sir!
We'll find you
Another game sir:
.
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
.
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and exit with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
.
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
Then you have to cache your memory & you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer (and be sure to tell your Mom)!

And, speaking of Dr. Seuss, here is one from a U of Texas MBA student:
From: COREYR @ EMAIL (Corey Rosemond) {coreyr@utxvms.cc.utexas.edu}
After months of silence, OJ finally spoke at the trial. His words to
Judge Ito were: "I did not, could not and would not have committed this
crime. Seems with a little help from Dr. Suess and a bit more time, he
and Judge Ito could have extended this statement.
--------------------------------------------------
Ito's statemets in ALL CAPS... OJ's in lower case.

I really should save this one for the ides of March; but I won't keep you
waiting. There was a farmer who sold his bull "Caesar" to another rancher
across the river from his ranch. As the cowboys were about to ferry the
bull across the river, the stock keeper who had become fond of the bull
asked if he couldn't have one last bite to eat in his favorite pasture
before going. All hands agreed, so away he went to eat. The farmer came
after a short time to register his complaint that the bull had not been
sent. To the assembled cowboys, he said: "We came to ferry Caesar, not
to graze him!"
-
And another: Once there was this peasant woman who lived with her family
in a small cottage. She was very poor, and had only one prized possession:
her berry. It was the most beautiful berry in the kingdom. Fellow peasants
would travel miles just in hopes of getting a glimpse of her wonderful
berry. The King, a very possessive man, heard about the berry and was enraged.
"Such an object should be in the royal treasury," he shouted. Immediately,
he dispatched his men to take the berry from the peasant and bring it back
to the castle. Once at the small cottage, the knight in charge knocked
loudly on the door. "Open up," he shouted. The husband of the family opened
the door. When he saw the knights, he was frightened. "What can I do for
you, sires?" he asked meekly. "We are here about an object in your possession."
The man smiled, relaxing a bit. "Ah, you wish to view my wife's berry.
It is a very pretty berry, indeed." The knight snorted:"We are here to
seize her berry, not to praise it!
-
What did the wood worker say, beaming with pride and all spruced up? ...
I came; I saw; I carpentered.

the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make
no difference. -Abraham Lincoln (1862)

Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day he
just wasn't paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over
into the beer vat. It was a tragedy -- and Murphy drowned. The foreman
thought it was his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's death.
He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the
door, he said, "I'm sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away
at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned." She wept and covered
her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, "Tell
me --- and did he --- suffer?"
-
"I don't think so," said the foreman, "He got out three times to go to
the men's room."

-
And the patient on the other side said, "they had to open me, too, to find
one of their instruments."
-
Just then , the surgeon who operated on the patient, stuck his head in
the door and yelled: "Has anybody seen my hat?"
-
The new patient fainted dead away.
