Just from writing, not from reading and quickly let back in the line-up
(for another at bat) when the kind even gentle moderator (me) gets a note
that the writer agrees to the boundaries in Note #1 of FAQ ECULAUGH.

Dogs and Light Bulbs are cute yes, but not religious. It was removed and
returned to the author. (Light bulb jokes are on the PLEASE HAVE MERCY do

You're welcome for the response. I'm thinking of including a form flame
response letter to send with every kind, even gentle bounce message I send.
Naw, too ironic/sarcastic <wink> (One of my favorite movie quotes is Steve
Martin's character in Roxanne explaning the demise of irony in his small
town.)

Now, if I could convince you not to quote entire notes in replies.
Necessary in Internet mail messages (maybe) but not in EcuNet meetings
where notes are organized, saved, or easily retrieved for folks.

Good decision.  One thing I can say with certainty.  When I'm constitated, I'm
also clean.

Janet,

I did a word search through my "ECULAUGH" files (-ah, Abraham, and Moses)
and came up with quite a few--in fact, so many I'll have to send them to
you as an attached file.  Enjoy!

    It ain't squeeky clean, but it ain't all that bad. However, I worry
about what it might lead to: It could end up with stuff that would make
members of "GRODY TO THE MAX" blush.

   Glad to find another Christian Humor page. Keep up the good work. I was
going to send the "Repaint and sin no more joke but saw it on the no-no
list.  Oh well, guess I am late as usual.Can one subscribe? 
   I have a Christian Bible Study web page, and while I rarely use any
humor in it I might like to use some of this material from time to ti me.
If any one there is interested my Web site is at
