[yukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyuk...]
As many of you might recall, in net.jokes there has been a recent
discussion of meta-humor in comic strips, etc. Also, recently in
net.startrek there has been discussion of people wearing red shirts in
landing parties not returning (the red shirted individuals, that is! :-).
This bring me to the book I am reading now, _Killing Time_ (startrek #24),
in which Della Van Hise writes:
' [Kirk has just gotten out of the shower (as ensign Kirk, in Second
History{read the book...}) and is about to get dressed to go on a
landing party] He reached into the closet, withdrawing a red, silk
uniform tunic.
But Richardson quickly came over, snatched the red shirt away and
tossed it across the room. "Here," he said, digging deeper into the
closet until he found a blue shirt. "Live a little--_and_ a little
longer, Jim," he urged.
Kirk's brows questioned.
And Richardson shrugged. "Let's just say that on _this_ ship--or
probably any other--you don't want to waer a red shirt on landing-party
duty."
Kirk shook his head with a laugh . . . and quickly pulled the blue
shirt over his head.

At least I thought it was funny (At 2:30 am :-)
