yeah...here's one....

	A professor of mine at McGill was in a car accident about
tewn years ago.  When he recovered consciousness, the nurse told
him he was fine except for a major leg fracture which would put
him on his back for about a weekend till they could properly set
it.  His freind showed up with two things: a 60 of Jim Beam and a
shredded copy of _Gravity's Rainbow_.  

	"yeah," he said, "I finished the bottle and the book.
Don't  remember in what order."

wire, not done by sons striking matches with daughters but done by 
scratches so save that water..
