    Heh. I've done this one as well as "so far as you know."

    Usually 42 of course.

    I've done that and more. Today, as a matter of fact, I made suggestive faces to the couple in the car beside mine at a traffic light. It looked like they pointed and laughed at me, so I made the effort to get them at a couple of other lights before they turned off. I was even making the "how about it then, both of you, me, hmm?" gestures. When they turned, I slowed down, stuck my arm out the window and made the "come this way" gesture, and yelled "COME ON! FOLLOW ME!"

    I am so bad sometimes.
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.

    Dear David

    This is a friendly reminder to let you know your gym membership expired last week. Your membership is important to us and we would like to take this opportunity to show our appreciation by offering you a 20% discount on your membership renewal. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

    All the best, Jeff Peters

    Dear Jeff,

    Thankyou for your friendly reminder and the kind offer to reduce my membership by twenty percent. I own a calculator but I could not work out how to do percentages on it so have estimated that I save around $372.10 off the normal price of $420.00 - Please confirm that this is correct and I will renew my membership immediately. Also, do I get a Fitness First sports bag with towel and drinking bottle included in the price? I own my own legwarmers and headband.

    Regards, David.

    Hello David

    How did you come to that amount? Our half year membership fees are actually $460 but with the 20% discount as an existing member your renewing membership fee would be only $368 for the six months saving you almost $100 off the normal price. We are not Fitness First so do not have those bags.

    Cheers, Jeff

    Dear Jeff

    By the power of Greyskull that is a lot of money but I admit to being in desperate need of increasing my body strength. My ten year old child often turns the taps off in the bathroom very tightly and I have to go several days without washing. I feel bad constantly having to ask the lady from next door to come over and loosen them for me, what with her arthritis and limited wheelchair access to my apartment. To be honest, I originally joined your gym with full intentions of attending every few days but after waiting in vain for someone to offer me steroids, I began to suspect this was not going to happen and the realisation that I may have to exercise instead was, quite frankly, horrifying. My aversion to work, along with the fact one of your employees, Justin, was rather rude, telling me to 'lift this', ''push that' dulled my initial enthusiasm of becoming muscular and I stopped attending.

    Regards, David.

    Hello David

    Not sure how to take your email, nobody here would offer you steroids, it is illegal and none of our staff would do this. Justin is one of our most experienced trainers and if you found him rude while he was trying to be helpful and just doing his job then there are plenty of other gyms you could look at joining instead.

    Cheers, Jeff

    Dear Jeff

    Yes, I have noticed that there are many gyms in my area. I assume the low qualification requirements of fitness trainers means that there is an over supply of these buffed but essentially otherwise purposeless professionals. I knew a guy in high school who couldn't talk very well and collected sticks, he used to call the teacher 'mum' and during recess we would give him money to dance. Then sell him sticks to get our money back. He went on to become a fitness instructor so I view gyms as kind of like those factories that provide a community service by employing people with down syndrome to lick stamps and pack boxes. Except with more Spandex obviously.

    Regards, David.

    Dear Jeff

    I was, at first, quite surprised at your response; one minute you are inviting me to renew my membership and asking me for money, the next insulting me. After doing a little research however, I have learnt that mood swings are an expected side effect of steroid abuse. As another side effect is a reduction in the size of your p#$%, this gives you understandable cause to be an angry person. I have also learnt that Spandex contains carcinogenic properties so this does not bode well for yourself and your shiny friends. If I woke up one morning and my p#$% was a quarter of the size I would probably take my anger out on those around me as well. There are probably support groups or websites that could help you manage your problem more effectively and picture based books available on the subject for people with limited reading skills. When I am angry I like to Listen to music by Linkin Park. The added angst and desire to cut myself works similarly to the way firefighters fight forest fires by burning off sections, effectively canceling each other out and I find myself at peace. I understand that you guys usually listen to Pet Shop Boys or Frankie Goes to Hollywood so this may be worth a try.

    Regards, David.

    If Dr. Seuss wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation...

    Author: Dave Fuller

    Picard: Sigma Indri, that's the star,
    So, Data, please, how far? How far?

    Data: Our ship can get there very fast
    But still the trip will last and last
    We'll have two days til we arrive
    But can the Indrans there survive?

    Picard: LaForge, please give us factor nine.

    LaForge: But, sir, the engines are offline!

    Picard: Offline! But why? I want to go!
    Please make it so, please make it so!

    Riker: But sir, if Geordi says we can't,
    We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't,
    The danger here is far too great!

    Picard: But surely we must not be late!

    Troi: I'm sensing anger and great ire.

    Computer: Alert! Alert! The ship's on fire!

    Picard: The ship's on fire? How could this be?
    Who lit the fire?

    Riker: Not me.

    Worf: Not me.

    Picard: Computer, how long til we die?

    Computer: Eight minutes left to say goodbye.

    Data: May I suggest a course to take?
    We could, I think, quite safely make
    Extinguishers from tractor beams
    And stop the fire, or so it seems...

    Geordi: Hurray! Hurray! You've saved the day!
    Again I say, Hurray! Hurray!

    Picard: Mr. Data, thank you much.
    You've saved our lives, our ship, and such.

    Troi: We still must save the Indran planet --

    Data: Which (by the way) is made of granite...

    Picard: Enough, you android. Please desist.
    We understand -- we get your gist.
    But can we get our ship to go?
    Please, make it so, PLEASE make it so.

    Geordi: There's sabotage among the wires
    And that's what started all the fires.

    Riker: We have a saboteur? Oh, no!
    We need to go! We need to go!

    Troi: We must seek out the traitor spy
    And lock him up and ask him why?

    Worf: Ask him why? How sentimental.
    I say give him problems dental.

    Troi: Are any Romulan ships around?
    Have scanners said that they've been found?
    Or is it Borg or some new threat
    We haven't even heard of yet?
    I sense no malice in this crew.
    Now what are we supposed to do?

    Crusher: Captain, please, the Indrans need us.
    They cry out, "Help us, clothe us, feed us!"
    I can't just sit and let them die!
    A doctor MUST attempt -- MUST try!

    Picard: Doctor, please, we'll get there soon.

    Crusher: They may be dead by Tuesday noon.

    *COMMERCIAL BREAK, COMMERCIAL BREAK
    HOW LONG WILL THESE DUMB ADS TAKE?*

    Worf: The saboteur is in the brig.
    He's very strong and very big.
    I had my phaser set on stun --
    A zzzip! A zzzap! Another one!
    He would not budge, he would not fall,
    He would not stun, no, not at all!
    He changed into a stranger form
    All soft and purple, round and warm.

    Picard: Did you see this, Mr. Worf?
    Did you see this creature morph?

    Worf: I did and then I beat him fairly.
    Hit him on the jaw -- quite squarely.

    Riker: My commendations, Klingon friend!
    Our troubles now are at an end!

    Crusher: Now let's get our ship to fly
    And orbit yonder Indran sky!

    Picard: LaForge, please tell me we can go...?

    Geordi: Yes, sir, we can.

    Picard: Then make it so!

    That exit interview was priceless.
