	Apropos words that type funny: for a good laugh, watch your fingers
while you type "minimum".   Great fun at parties!

    "Watch your fingers while you type 'minimum'--great party fun."

     Well, I've been typing "minimum" while watching my fingers for the
last half hour to try to figure out what the point is.  I have come up
with several theories.

     1) If you are rather tipsy and do this, you will obtain the text of
either the Gettysburg Address or Tennyson's line about "the murmur of
innumerable bees."

     2) Put on a tango record: you will discover that "minimum" produces
a very passable tango step.

     3) Have a member of the opposite sex watch while you type.  After
several minutes he/she will be hypnotized and willing to follow any
suggestion you might make.

     4) The finger motions involved actually produce the secret sign
known only to 78th level Grand Holy Master Rosicrucians.

     5) If you take a portable typewriter with you and show everybody
the "minimum" trick, pretty soon you'll be known as a real "live wire"
and will be invited to all the parties in town.

     Was I close?

I thought that was to demonstrate one's ability to find the G spot!
