a joke about two pere ubuists (fwd)

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

The below message seems to have reached Charles but not the whole list
so reunsubbed from my old graduate address hraudask at mail.student.oulu.fi
and switched to my old faculty address hraudask at cc.oulu.fi to reresub
(which still does not make the joke any less silly):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry if I turned out a bad bet for somebody; anyway, there must've
been some problems as the message not only arrived 2½ days late but
was one line short (not that it would make the joke any less silly):

Your masochistic baby wades through the
http://waste.org/mail/pynchon-l archives with a terrible hangover and
feels obliged to resub to the list (for this morning at least) just to
point to the obvious fact.

your great gramma.
