===================================

REASONS WHY GUITARS ARE BETTER THAN WOMEN

1. A guitar has a volume knob
2. If you break a guitar's G-string, it only costs $0.79 for a new one
3. You can make a guitar scream as loud as you want it to...any time you want
4. You can unplug a guitar
5. You can finger a guitar for hours without it complaining it wants more
6. Other people can play your guitar without it getting upset
7. You can finger a guitar in public and get applause, not arrested
8. You can have a guitar any color you want and noone will care
9. If your guitar gets loose, you can just tighten up the strings
10. If your guitar doesn't make sounds you like, you can change pickups
11. You can use four fingers at a time on a guitar
12. If your guitar strings are too heavy, you can just get a lighter set
13. You can have a guitar professionally adjusted to your liking
14. If you scratch a guitar's back, it's unintentional, not required
15. You can go to a guitar shop and play all the guitars you want for free

By the way - there is now a whole bunch of "streamed" traditional folk radio programs available on the internet. Free, from all over the world. All you have to do is point your computer at them and click. You usually need RealPlayer too. Ask me if you want details.

At http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/90q3/doughnt.html we find a stack of
British doughnut wisdom...political, religious, incomprehensible, etc. Eg:

Zen: What is the sound of one doughnut clapping? or
London Transport: Doughnut alight while bus is in motion.

But we are only interested in: Folk song: 'Doughnut forsake me, oh my darling!'

And a Happy Jimi Hendrix' Birthday! born Nov 27, 1942 (d9/18/1970)
