Title: "Stay Straight, Ollie!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 years suspended? Probation? Look, you beat the rap, so why take chances? When you're on probation, you gotta stay clean or The Man can come down hard! One thing you gotta do is stay away from the guys you used to hang with. You gotta understand they aren't your "friends". I know what it's like. You'll be out with the boys and someone will say "Hey, man, let's divert some funds to Panama" or "Let's sell nerve gas to the IRA". Sure, it sounds like some wild times but you can't afford to get caught. Stay straight, man. If you screw up you'll find your ass in Allentown prison. You may have heard that it's the "country club" prison but it's a bad scene. Forget tennis, cause there are some twisted cons there that would sooner cut you than give up their court time. You'd end up as somebody's ball boy! -- Dan Miller -- Edited by Brad Templeton. MAIL, yes MAIL your jokes to funny@looking.ON.CA Attribute the joke's source if at all possible. I will reply, mailers willing. Remember: Only ONE joke per submission. Extra jokes may be rejected. Administrative note: The piece on catching a lion in the desert is reportedly taken, at least in part, from "A Random Walk in Science." Several people put in strong recommendations for the book. The article is reportedly by Lyman Spitzer. It is in fact, much older than that book, reportedly appearing in the American Mathematical monthly in the 30s.
