[genuflection to the glitch queen...] Preliminary figures released today indicate that there are fewer than three hundred breeding pairs of won-tons in the world. This decrease, amounting to almost 34%, is blamed on the increased popularity of won-tons in soup and other foodstuffs. Government agencies are attempting to capture some of these elusive creatures to place in zoos around the world. Washington National Zoo is expecting a breeding pair in early summer, and a breeding is planned as soon as is possible. A zoo official is quoted as saying "we don't really know how these creatures reproduce, but we think that a little soft music and wine can't hurt." So the next time you sit down for a dinner at your favorite Chinese restaraunt, just remember -- some poor helpless won-ton gave his or her all for that bowl of soup.

In an effort to prevent further wonton destruction, you might want to try Jewish chicken soup with Jewish wontons. They're kreples, and therefore unable to reproduce. Andy Tannenbaum Masscomp Inc Westford MA (617) 692-6200 x274
