422.0. "The Serious Topic" by CSC32::M_VALENZA (Note while you spawn.) Mon Oct 08 1990 05:35

    This is the Serious Topic.  No humor will be tolerated here, and all
    use of wit or irony is strictly prohibited (puns, *will* be allowed
    here, because, as everyone knows, puns are never funny).  Anyone who
    laughs, chortles, guffaws, titters, chuckles, or even smiles a bit will
    be promptly asked to leave.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
