A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear Lew, The Dutch collectivly deny any sence for humour
to the Germans. I thought because of II WW but I learned that the more probale cause is the lost finale in 1974.
This event they will never forget nor forgive to their
neghbours. On the other hand only 8 examples of your beloved Twain are sold there...So you may be in trouble with some of them. But 'our' Daniel is a world citizen so
you will survive I hope.

Regards,

But Nandric, you did like the water skiing joke, I hope. My friend in Barcelona is one of my favorite people on earth. We will visit her this summer, I think, even though she does not have an outboard arm pod. (Nice chassis, though.)

The galleon captain says to his slave crew, "I have good news and I have bad news."

"What's the good news?" they cried.

He said, "We're going to Jamaica." The response was wild cheering.

Then one of the crew ask, "So what's the bad news?"

The captain replied, "We'll have Buddy Rich beating time."

Hey, German or not, a little humor shouldn't hurt.

Pretty funny!

OK. Here's the other one that my friend Rosina told me on the same day.

The Captain says to the crew, "I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that you guys are going to get a change of underwear.
(Big cheer goes up.)

The bad news is: Jose', you change with Pedro. Pedro, you change with Ramon..."

The galleon slave was generally chained to his oar until he died of starvation, physical exertion, etc. Then they would install another to take his place. None of these guys would think of mounting his tonearm on one galleon and his turntable on another. (So this is not OT.)
