Subject: Virus Alert

     A virus (more likely a worm) called "I Love You" is being propagated
     through E-mail messages.  Simply opening the message writes the virus
     to your computer and then instructs your computer to send it out to
     everyone in your address book.

     If you receive a message where the subject reads I Love You delete it
     completely without opening it.

Subject: LODable sarcasm?

Don't be selfish. Get rid of all
those tango shoes and shave your head. Thank you.

Yes, a well placed knee or head butt can be very
effective...A knee to the
stomach or thigh can result in a pretty good boleo.

Now I can walk backwards, against the line of dance
and make my follower responsible for avoiding collisions. Cool!

While I usually agree with those who hold that sarcasm is the lowest form of
humor, this piece provides evidence that sufficient cleverness added to the
mix can make for an entertainingly sleazy reading pleasure.



>>>>>>>
It occurred to me that with just a little imagination and some low tech
apparatus we poor leaders can be relieved of virtually all responsibility
for
leading but still be called leaders.

But now we're really taking off on the Lunatic-Fringe Roller-Coaster Ride
through Tango's Collective Unconscious!  Fasten seat belts, please, and keep
your hands inside of the car!

(I finally recognized where I'd seen this style before...it's been awhile,
but this reminds me of how *I* used to try to write after chasing my
favorite magic-herb brownie with three cups of coffee...except I didn't
tango back then...)

What do they put in the coffee where you work?

And for the unforeseeable, freak accidents, a plastic Jesus tucked in her

"Yep, no doubt about it...worst case of TangoRantus Sarcastii Interruptus
I've seen in a long time."

"It's a pity - gettin' a whole trainload of Lunatic Fringe roller-coaster
riders goin' full clip, then leavin' 'em hangin' without even a period or
three for company...hope nobody got hurt."

"You never can tell what'll trigger an attack...maybe the coffee ran out, or
maybe the boss walked by."

Thanks for the chuckles,

Hello Janis,

thank you very much for your insightful comments about the codes and customs
in Buenos Aires.
One question I do have: How does one find out, what kind of tanda comes
next? Is this
pre-announced somewhere?

Best regards,

Bernhard

Subject: Re: Virus Alert

Not only must you delete this one without opening (as you should with ANY
message you are unsure of), this one can corrupt files from your deleted
folder.  You must delete from deleted items or empty trash in order to be
safe this time.

Good luck!
Melinda
