I believe a lot more people enjoy this too, but are afraid to admit it. >>

I have to go along with Jim. A lot of times things that in the retelling 
sound awful were hysterical to see, like the expression on the face of 
someone just when they know they are going over. That is why the banana peel 
is so funny, just like all slapstick.
    The two funniest things I've ever seen in my life were someone falling 
off, rather, over a horse and someone closing a glass door and walking right 
into it. Only dignity was injured but just the thought of those can bring 
tears to my eyes as I laugh yet again.
    Scott, dean man, you knew full well you'd be chided for what you wrote 
and I highly suspect you got a kick out of it. I'm not so sure that Kathleen 
knew what she was in for, though. I wondered who would bite as I read your 
report.
    Kathleen, it is really okay. This list can lack a sense of humor at 
times. As far as I can tell, no one is angry with you at all. This is just a 
place where we all have to put our 2 cents in, even when we are broke. When I 
want to take someone to task, or correct something they said, I keep in back 
channel. I think you have now found out why.
    Be welcome here and don't let these guys make you feel bad. Sometimes we 
hit the send button before we have thought things all the way through. We 
have a bunch of lawyers here and they WILL comment on a misstatement.
