No new jokes are ever created. We just keep trading ownership of them
amonst ourselves, sometimes with the same joke coming back years later.
Dave Thompson (Micro Cornucopia) told me, "The secret to great humor is in
the selection of WHOSE material to steal." I wonder who he got THAT

At John Craig's Computer Swap America, public entry was delayed for vendor
setup. Once we had our stuff on the tables, we would scurry around buying
each other's stuff. One fellow said, "Why bother with the public?
Simply, when the music stops, go home with whatever is on the table that
you are closest to."
