  G-day George Pope,

   When my daughter Kelli was 3, she and my son Cody would say their
nightly prayers together. As most children do we have to bless every
family member, every friend, and every animal current and past. For
several weeks after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would
say "And all girls".

   As this soon became part of her nightly routine to include this at
the end, my curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why
do you always add the part about all girls?".

   Her response: "Because we always finish our prayers by saying All
Men!" (By Sheri Holt)

   When I was growing up, our back fence neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Donald
Vale. I spent my childhood sheltered behind D. Vale. A son they had
named Noah intensely disliked his name and could hardly wait until he
would be old enough and free to legally change it. To that end, he
finally appeared before a judge, and with mixed feelings found that the
proceedings would be alter Noah Vale. (By Glenn Gardner)

Long-distance phone slamming takes a turn for the delicious

Customers' out-of-state carriers switched for yummy chocolate chip
cookies

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Phone slamming - the practice whereby long-distance
service providers switch customers from existing companies to their
own without consent - is developing into a shady marketing scheme for
more than just telecommunications firms. This week the attorney
generals of seventeen states will bring action against My Nice Grammy
Cookies, charging the baked goods maker of switching unknowing
customers from their long-distance companies to 1-pound bags of My
Nice Grammy's Walnut-N-Honey Soft-N-Chooey Cookies.

   "The evidence is overwhelming," said case administrator Monk E.
Spahnker. "Time and again, unsuspecting consumers picked up their
phones to call far-flung loved ones, and instead found themselves with
tasty cookies as good as home-made. This has got to stop."

   Victims of the alleged slamming are scheduled to testify, some with
tragic stories to relate. Six months ago, Mrs. Irma Vaygenspacy tried
to call her nephew three states away to ask if he would consent to be
tested for the possible donation of a kidney to her seriously ill
sister. Instead of a long-distance connection, she received soft,
chewy cookies with the great taste of baked-in walnuts and a touch of
sweet honey. The sister later died.

   My Nice Grammy Cookies spokesperson Nelson Snotter refused to
discuss specifics, saying only that the company's cookies "capture the
home-baked goodness your own Grammy used to put into the cookies she
made by hand ... you know, the old-fashioned way. Back when Grammys
made cookies in their own kitchens. Wearing those aprons with little
flowers on them. And the whole place would smell great, what with all
those cookies in the oven. Shop and compare - you can't get that in a
long-distance company!"(11-17-99)
