Now THAT's a short message.
This is just a short message
John Fields
There was a young man from Purdue, Whose limericks stopped on line two.
And of course:
There was a young man from Verdun
Where are the sparks and smoke? :)

2 from Spike Milligan:
There was a young man called stencil, Whose dick was as sharp as a pencil. He punctured an actress, Two nuns and a mattress, And dented the bathroom utensil
And my favourite,
There was a young man called Wyatt, Whose voice was exceptionally quiet. And then one day, He faded away....
[sounds better when spoken, voice trailing off....]I read a funny comic book by Matt Groenig (aka Simpsons) years ago. He had a page-long dissertation along the lines of
Those who can, do Those who cant, teach Those who cant teach, teach teachers...
culminating in
Those who cant finish unfinished sentences
or "teach others to teach" is the way I heard it.
That's interesting. My Uncle Joe (you remember Uncle Joe, ...) told me that and he didn't get it from a comic book. I doubt the colleague who told him did, either.
So what was the name of the comic book?
Best Regards,
Mike
Beats the hell out of me - I saw it once, about 15 years ago.

John: 0 + 23 header lines Me: 2 + 16 header lines :P
Probably "Life in Hell".

"Your Highness, I have no need of this hypothesis."
- Pierre Laplace (1749-1827), to Napoleon,
on why his works on celestial mechanics make no mention of God.
Hmmm, slow night fellas ??

Enough of this competitive brevity. While John Fields sholud be congratulated for saying nothing - because he never seems to have anything useful to say - twenty messages of congratulation seems to represent rather too much of a good thing.

How can no message be a short message?

There was an old man from Nijmegen
whose rhetoric often went beggin'
for nice things to say;
instead he'd just bray
amidst all the rest of his squeggin'
ditto
In that case I'm a winner -- OOOOOPS!!!
