Hey Tom,

Sorry if my E-mail thing wasn't right, remember. I'm new to all that high tech mumbo-jumbo!

I was thinking the other day, you know how hard it is to remember people's names? I meet up with a lot of people that I know I met before but I just can't seem to remember thier names! Then I feel foolish. I'm not even sure there is a "correct" way to act in those circumstances! Usually, I'll just make small talk until it comes back to me but sometimes it doesn't! What do people do in those situations?

I've figured out a solution that seems to work for me, listen up. People love nicknames. In that trueism is my salvation! All I need to do is make a quick personal observation of the person and I'll be set. Throw in the word "Johnny", "Jimmy", or "Joe" and you can not loose!

Example One: A person whose name I can't remember comes walking toward me on the street. I quickly note that the person is wearing hiking boots. Thinking quickly I respond, "Well if it isn't Johnny Hiking Boots, how are ya doing?!". They respond with a warm pleasant smile and all is well.

Example Two: While shopping in the mall I notice a friend whose name escapes me at the time. I quickly notice the strange bandana my friend is wearing. Once again quick thought pays off. "Hey, Jimmy Bandana Head" I swiftly exclaim, "What are you doing here?!" All is well once again.

Example Three: An old student comes to visit. I can tell by the smile on thier face I must have ment something to them at one time but I cannot place thier identity. A speedy examination of the student's person reveals a trace of axel greese on the knees of thier pants and once again I am saved from a potentially embarrassing situation. "Well, Axel Greese Joe, I've wondered how you were doing?!

I've tried my technique on a few unsuspecting soles and it seems to work!

That's a bit for my comedy routine I'm working on. The guys up here seem to get a big kick out of it. Vicki came up with something kind of funny tonight also, here goes...

I hate it when old people need to correct the way you talk! (old person voice) Now listen here! You dassent use ain't in a sentance. Ain't is not a word, you dassent use it! (normal voice) Well OK, but what the hell kind of word is "dassent"?

We need to start getting together some of our funny ideas. I think we should shoot for an open mike night sometime this year maybe? Also I know somebody that wants to get me involved with Comedy Sports. They think I'd do really well there. Oh well, I hope all is well for you guys!

Yer Pal, Craig!

Craig -

Here is the beauty of E-mail: Instead of me trying to rack my brain and repeat some funny stuff I saw the other day on tv or heard from some guy at work, I can just forward it to as many people I want to and impress the world with my funny sense of humor. (see this way I may be a lame ass idget {or is it idjet} and not have a funny bone in my body [hah, I guess I actually am funny] but yet it appears that I am humorus).

How is that for some funny standup while yer sitting down? And what the hell is up with all of the multiple [] within () and this {} within (). I dont think that is legal in the grammar book, but who cares.

Hey Tom,

I just got your message two minutes ago. I'm not up for a big sit down write-til-your-fingers-bleed kinda letter but I have yet another idea that could be worked on. You know how you suddenly get real tense when a cop pulls up behind you? Well, I think that is a common reaction and could easily induce some laughter. Maybe you could go through the whole shpeil and then the puncher is... you weren't even in a car. Maybe you were eating a sandwich in the park. Aw Crap!! That seems to make no sense! We'll throw it around next time we're together, then it'll make sense.

We should think about shooting Sawyer this summer before he gets to big and the bullets will be unable to stop him! I don't have much of a summer left! Get back to me on that.

Catch ya on the filp side Daddy-Oh!

Yer pal, Craig!

P.S. You hinted that I used a lot of () and <> in my E-mail, as far as I know I didn't use any... what's up?

Yer Pal, Chuckle Head Joe!

In response to your message, talk to someone at your phone company. You see, I work for a different phone company, and we have our head so far up our ass, we cant burn a dill pickle with a can opener at both ends even if we tried. (That response is in relation to your above note about chemwing on wooden cough drops. I'm assuming that is just some made up stuff. If their was real humor behind it, I didnt get it)

If you really want to know why you lose your connection sometimes, I will explain it at a later date as I hate E-mail.
