8.  We-Haul  starts  charging. 

7.  There's  a  "For  Rent"  sign  by  the  doll  house. 

6.  Teachers  begin  accepting  monetary  bribes  starling  at  S10  instead  > 

the  steap  price  of  S35  per  "A." 

5.  Gordon  Bietz  starts  wearing  suits  from  the  Samaritan  Center 

4,  Campus  Safety  has  to  give  students  tickets  instead  of  making  the 

track  sale  at  night  because  it's  more  cost  effective. 

3.  The  chaplain's  office  sign  reads:  Indulgences  $10--good  through 

October  31st.  Save  your  soul  before  it's  lost!" 

2  University  Drive  is  made  a  loli  road. 

1  While  giving  plasma  you  look  over  and  there's  Gordon,  his  wife,  th

Rules  of  the  Air 

1.  Every  take  off  is  optional.  Every  landing  is  manditory. 

2.  If  you  push  the  stick  forward,  the  houses  get  bigger, 
tf  you  pull  the  stick  back,  they  get  smaller.  That  is 
unless  you  keep  pulling  the  stick  all  the  way  back;  then 
they  all  get  bigger  again. 

3.  Flying  isn't  dangerous.  Crashing  is. 

4.  Helicopters  can't  fly;  they're  just  so  ugly  the  earth 
repels  them. 

5.  The  ONLY  time  you  have  too  much  fuel  is  when 
you're  on  fire. 

6.  The  propeller  is  just  a  big  fan  in  front  of  the  plane 
used  to  keep  the  pilot  cool.  When  it  stops,  you  can  see 
the  pilot  sweating. 

V.  A  'good'  landing  is  one  firom  which  you  can  walk  away. 
A  'great'  landing  is  one  after  which  they  can  use  the 
plane  again. 

8.  The  probability  of  survival  is  inversely  proportional  to 
the  angle  of  arrival.  Large  angle  of  arrival,  small  proba- 
bility of  survival  and  vice  versa. 

9.  Stay  out  of  the  clouds.  The  silver  lining  everyone 
keeps  talking  about  might  be  another  airplane  going  in 
the  opposite  direction. 

10.  Always  ti-y  to  keep  the  number  of  landings  you  make 
equal  to  the  number  of  take  offs  you've  made.

Answering  machine  message! 

Compiled  by  Joe  LaCom 

10  Hi  I'm  probably  home,  I'm  just  avoiding  someone  I  don't  like, 
so  leave  a  message  and  then  if  I  don't  call  back     if  s  you. 

9.  Hello,  you  are  talking  to  a  machine.  I  am  capable  of  receiving 
messages,  my  owners  do  not  need  new  cred.  cards,      _ 
cookbooks,  and/or  affordable  insurance  at  a  low  low  price. 

8  Hi  this  is  John.  If  you  are  a  phone  company.  I  already  sent  the 
money;  if  you  are  my  parents,  please  send  money,  rf  you  are 
my  financial  aid  institution,  you  didn't  lend  enough  money;  rf 
you  are  my  friends,  you  owe  me  money;  if  you  are  a  female, 
I  have  plenty  of  money 

7.  Please  leave  a  message.  However,  you  have  the  nght  to  remain 
silent  Everything  you  say  can  and  wiU  be  recorded  and 
used  by  us.  , .   ■   u-      r^       t 

6.  Hi.  John's  answering  machine  is  broken,  this  is  his  retngerator. 
Please  speak  very  slowly,  and  Til  stick  your  message  to 
myself  with  one  of  these  magnets. 

5.  Hello,  I'm  John's  answering  machine.... what  are  you? 

4*.  Hi.  this  is  John.  I'm  sorry  I  can't  come  to  the  phone  right  now. 
Leave  a  message  and  then  wait  by  your  phone  until  I  call 

3.  This  is  not  an  answering  machine.  This  is  a  telepathic  thought 

recording  device.  After  the  tone,  think  about  your  name,  yoiir| 
number  and  your  reason  for  calling,  and  I'll  think  about 
returning  your  call. 

2.  If  you  are  a  burglar,  then  we're  probably  at  home  cleaning  oiir 
weapons  right  now  and  can't  come  to  the  phone.  Otherwise, 
we  probably  aren't  home  and  it's  safe  to  leave  a  message. 
i,  now  you  say  something.
