IJMC You Could Call This a Joke

                  IJMC - You Could Call This a Joke

I will not claim to have earned my divinity degree through guilt. Most of 
the time, the queue works as the queue does...what comes up for each 
night depends on when it went in. If people keep sending non-jokes that I 
approve for the list, then non-jokes it is. If people keep sending in 
jokes that I approve for the list, then jokes it is. Just consider your 
dear International Junk Mail Clearinghouse a factory filtered by yours 
truly. If I like it...or have to suffer through it...you probably will as 
well. Or, just delete it after the first paragraph. You will not hurt my 
feelings for doing so...                                            -dave
