IJMC - Talk About Stage Fright!

Tonight's IJMC is actually two posts in one. Don't worry, we're not going 
to charge you extra...actually, a good friend of mine (say hi, Flip) 
wanted me to help pass along the first of the two messages. It's true, 
and verification is that he works at the station in question. What you do 
with it is your own decision; my choice is to send the message out to the 
world. Anyway, after that little political hot potato (say bye now, Flip) 
there's a cute piece about a parrot...which reminds me of this woman I 
once knew who claimed she could make anything sound sexy...but that's a 
whole 'nother tucan...g'night.                                      -dave

P.S. The decision to stop with the inside jokes? It died a grisly death.

As you probably know by now- due to nationwide coverage- ABC 33/40 has
decided not to show the "coming out" episode of the sitcom "Ellen."
Many people do not agree with this decision.  Phone calls to the station
re sometimes futile, as they often don't reach the people who they need
to.  So here's a chance to speak directly to the men in power.  If you
would like to let them know how you feel about their decision, you can
write to Jerry Heilman and Phil Cox by way of e-mail:

 A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.  The audience
 would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the 
 same tricks over and over again.

 There was only one problem:  The captain's parrot saw the shows each week
 and began to understand how the magician did every trick.  Once he
 understood he started shouting in the middle of the show:

   "Look, it's not the same hat"

   "Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table"

   "Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades ?"

 The magician was furious but couldn't do anything; it was, after all, the
 captain's parrot.

 One day the ship had an accident and sank.  The magician found himself on a
 piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot, of course.

 They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word.  This went on
 for a day and another and another.

 After a week the parrot said:  "OK, I give up.  Where's the boat?"
