That's about as funny as Go West! :-)

USENET is dying. Too much spam, and too many ignorant politicians who
heard a rumor that someone or other said that he heard something
somewhere about an expert who said he thought maybe child pornographers
could use it.

How dare you! Go West has a wonderful opening and great finale. Admittedly
there are some dull bits in between but you can't have everything. If you
want a good example of a bad Marx brothers film, try At the Circus, the Big
Store or Love Happy. Why, I'd horsewhip you if I had a horse!

Hi Dana.
Thanks for checking in.

And thank *YOU* for acknowledging me checking in, Pete! ;-)

Note to Roger: You can put down that horsewhip, sir! I don't really
*hate* _Go West_. Figured if I said something mildly controversial
I'd at least get a rise outta somebody. Guess the stick poking kinda
worked. And BTW - even _At the Circus_ has "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"
to redeem it, right?

So here I am - on topic, if not the mistress or rapier wit this
evening. Just another soul doin' her part to not allow Usenet to
become the exclusive playground of child pornographers and other
nefarious villains. :-P (Comment for John.)

Speaking of horses, it reminds me of the following "bit":


Whitmore: Just a minute, Mrs Upjohn. That looks like a horse pill to
me.
Dr. Hackenbush: Oh, you've taken them before.
Mrs. Upjohn: Are you sure, Doctor, you haven't made a mistake?
Dr. Hackenbush: You have nothing to worry about. The last patient I
gave one of those to won the Kentucky Derby.
Whitmore: May I examine this, please? Do you actually give those to
your patients? Isn't it awfully large for a pill?
Dr. Hackenbush: Well, it was too small for a basketball, and I didn't
know what to do with it. Say, you're awfully large for a pill
yourself.

Yes it does but it also has Kenny Baker to unredeem it
