I have searched the entire Cambridge, Massachusetts area, and I cannot
find it.

I have checked New Castle county in Delaware with no luck.  It is not in
either Cecil or Harford counties in Maryland.  I asked in Salem, Camden
and Monmouth counties in New Jersey about it.  Sorry, no luck.  I'll
look some more if you want.

I've looked under my desk, it's not here.  Maybe you should look somewhere
in your company instead of "net" ?

I checked all of Ontario quite thoroughly, with a quick glance at Eastern 
Canada, and I didn't find it. If you like, I'll check the praries and BC,
but I'm sure it ain't there either. Did you check the finance department ?
Dave Jones sometimes tapes "Miami Vice" on your machine, and he's with Internal
Audit (hell, he IS Internal Audit). You know, next office on the right. Ask him.

Sorry I couldn't help further.

HEY, THERE, I FOUND IT!!!  Your missing VCR is in WILSONVILLE, OREGON!!!  If
you want it back, send me a negotiable air ticket for it.  By the way, did you
ever consider purchasing the Astoria Bridge?  I can give you a special deal as
soon as I get the air fare for your VCR...

(N.B.:  I did shorten the distribution to ``na''.  No sense making all those
 overseas calls since we have finally located your VCR.)

I checked here in Nancy but sorry, didn't find your VCR. I am going to Paris
in two weeks. I could perhaps look after it there .... (-:

If this is what net.works will be like from now on (now that mod.works exists),
then I see no reason for it's continued existence.  The last five messages
have concerned the search for ths missing VCR, not workstations.

If you really want to flame at this guy, send mail, not followups!

    I've looked all over campus.  I don't think it here at Purdue.

The Andorians deny it ever existed.  The Klingons are a bit closed mouthed
on the subject, but they did suggest that perhaps the Romulans mistook it
for a cloaking device.

As long as we are on the subject of missing items, has anyone seen a matched
set of 1Y 2G Dylithium crystals?  I set them on the table in the cafeteria,
walked away, and forgot them.

"Very not.  Mike, you want to discuss nature of humor.  Are two types of jokes.
One sort goes on being funny forever.  Other sort is funny once.  Second time
it's dull.  This joke is second sort.  Use it once, you're a wit.  Use twice,
you're a half-wit."

"Geometrical progression?"

"Or worse.  Just remember this.  Don't repeat, nor any variation.  Won't be
funny."
