Joke for this Week - A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated
speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car.
He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car.
Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40.
Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained
another picture - of handcuffs

enter on and float the chat window. You can
go do something else and your computer will beep when someone enters the

having problems getting in.
======================================
Tip of the Week - In the fall when fishing for bass, adjust your
depth based on water clarity. The clearer the water, the deeper you should
fish. In more stained water, fish more shallow. This is especially true
on sunny days after the sun gets on the water.
======================================
Message Boards - Every visit to the Freshwater Fishing Board
- http://fishing.about.com/mpboards.htm
- during the week is eligible for a prize. Each Monday I will put every
visitor's name from one Sunday NOON to
the next in a 'hat' and draw one as the winner. Every log-in will be counted
as one visit, so the more times you visit the board, the more chances you
have to win! The winner will be notified by email and posted here. There
will be one winner per week.
This contest is, of course, an unabashed attempt to get people to use my boards! The only requirement is that posts must be related to fishing. The board is for fishing info so ask a real question, respond with an answer you know, or post information about a trip you took. They can be original posts or responses to posts. All the details and a list of past winners can be found at http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/blboardcontest.htm
11/15/99 through 11/22/99 - Prize this week,
a crankbait

Thought for the Week - Only in America...are there handicap parking
places in front of a skating rink...
=======================================
Bonus Joke - A woman and her little girl were visiting the grave
of the little girl's grandmother. On their way through the cemetery back
to the car, the little girl asked, "Mommy, do they ever bury two people
in the same grave?" "Of course not, dear," replied the mother,
"why would you think that?" "The tombstone back there said
'Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.'"
