This husband had just finished reading a book called, "MAN OF THE HOUSE". Upon completion he stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you are going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?" His wife replied, "The funeral director would be my guess."

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime? If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan? A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He sidles up to the bar and announces: "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw." A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender, "How much for a beer?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge." Two TV antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron". The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive..." A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him." So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy." I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. I went to the butcher's the other day and I bet him 50 bucks that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high." A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!"

Rabbi, a priest and a muslim walk into a bar Bartender says "what is this...some kind of joke?" Thanks, I'm here all week.

>Except that no one liked that album, as far as I know. That's the one with the terrible rapping, right? It's one of the more approachable of Miles' posthumous albums. If you gloss over the rapping, it's quite an inspired series of pieces. But Tutu and Aura - which followed - were far less, ahm, genial. As for meeting musicians, I once sat next to Maynard Ferguson on a flight between Montreal and Chicago. A very interesting and intelligent person - well travelled too.

> Some Miles fans are like Pat Metheny's fans comparing the fans of a genius to those of a minor jazz footnote? for shame!! now *I'm* bitter

noooooooooooooooo !!! I always feel just a bit sadder, when a comedian dies.

congratulations - I enjoyed your TR here on CC, and it's great to see an article about your success in the Bham Herald. Well done guys!!

55-year old Liberty University professor of exercise physiology David Horton completed the PCT in 67 days. Previous record was 83 days, set in 2003 by Ray Greenlaw. David Horton has 95,000 miles of running under his belt, including his record-setting run of the 2,160-mile long Appalachian Trail in 1991, which was the subject of his book, A Quest for Adventure. He placed third in the 2,906-mile Trans-America Footrace in 1995. He completed Vermont’s 271-mile Long Trail in 4 days, 22 hours. Horton is the only person to have run the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and across the country. In short, he

he was the first act I've ever seen, he had David Bowie on keyboards. The band that opened for him was an unknown at the time, called Blondie. He was out of control during that show too - throwing himself down the speakers, rolling on the floor, smearing himself in peanut butter. He's still pulling stunts like this? he's well into his 50s, close to 60s.

well, rei is not a mountaineering store Given that rei and mec (in canada) have drifted from their original focus -- where do you go, to buy reliable mountaineering gear? looks like both coops have left a void to fill.

fantastic trip report, inspiring photos - well done!

spectacular!
