It seems that NASA is accepting donations for a new Space Shuttle.
The contributions are not tax-deductible, but this is one form of
support for the Space Program that the politicians cannot ignore!
2 billion dollars are needed. Send your contributions to:
N.A.S.A.
Att. BF
Washington D.C. 20546

For those who travel on land, on water, or in the air or
through outer space, let us pray to the Lord.
"Lord, have mercy."

(For the grammarians out there, I do realize the middle of that sentence is not quite right.) -- ________________________________________________________________________________ __ __ <> <> | `-' Nancy Miller (miller@nlm-mcs.arpa)
