Subject: This quote popped up when I logged in today...

I run a little program in my login script for my linux box at work that pulls
a quote at random from a file that contains a large collection of them.

This one popped up today and I thought that some members of this list (and the
Narns undoubtedly reading over their shoulder) might get a kick (and a HINT)
out of reading it.

"Puns are little "plays on words" that a certain breed of person loves to
spring on you and then look at you in a certain
    self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think
that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is
dead, when in fact what you are thinking is that if this person ever ends up
in a lifeboat, the other passengers will hurl him overboard by the end of the
first day even if they have plenty
    of food and water." -- Dave Barry, "Why Humor is Funny"

Enjoy.

Narns don't kick, they *thwack*. It's the Narn Bat Squad, not the Narn Boot
Squad.
