Twins
-----
The new father ran out of the delivery room and announced to the rest of
his family who were waiting for the news: "We had twins!"
The family was so excited they immediately asked, "Who do they look like?"
The father paused, smiled, and said, "Each other."
Reasons why snail mail is better
--------------------------------
Snail mail can be shredded quickly.
The sender is forced to spend money on the sending process.
Postal glue tastes pretty good.
Snail mail always calls me "Mr/Ms/Miss/Mrs" as appropriate.
I only need to check my mailbox once a day.
Never having to skip over the ">>>>>>>>>>>" characters.
An aspirin will take care of most paper cuts.
There are no hyperlinks in Snail mail.
Never having to scroll past 23,000 addresses of folks who received the same
boring message that begins with: "This really makes you MONEY!"
Snail mail makes great kindling.

NEWMARKET, England - British magistrates have convicted a Newmarket woman
of giving false information by registering her cows to vote. The East
Cambridgeshire District Council said it was the second year running that
Brenda Gould had listed animals on her registration form, the BBC reported
Thursday. Gould, who last year registered cows Henry and Sophie Bull and
her dog, Jake Woofles, was fined $190 and ordered to pay $208 costs. Gould
said she and her husband became irritated when the council sent a voter
registration form to the occupants of their barn. "We have this barn where
we keep two cows and we had a letter addressed to the occupants of the
barn," she said. "We ignored it and then someone came around to ask why we
hadn't filled it in. We just thought they were being stupid. "We didn't
tell any lies. We just put down the names of the animals." The Goulds said
they wouldn't be repeating the prank.
