Guest guest Posted July 17, 1999 Report Share Posted July 17, 1999 , Keep up the good work! Your newflashes are a riot. Love 'em Jan News Flash NEWS FLASH!!! ************************************* A.A. MEMBER SAYS SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE! ************************************* Last night in a church hall in Waltham Mass. a member of Alcoholics Anonymous was heard to utter statements that could only be interpreted as rational and intellectually sound. These remarks were made by Milton LaGrange of Braintree, Mass. who came to his senses shortly after they passed his lips. He was the featured speaker at the regular Saturday night meeting, and was telling his rum soaked tale for the umpteenth time when all of a sudden he suffered a severe case of program block. For a full five minutes he was unable to utter a single AA phrase, cliché, slogan, or any other twelve step fiction. At the end of this time, Mr. Lagrange still clutching the Big Book(AA's Bible) in his left hand, stormed out of the hall depositing the sacred text in the waste basket as he left. Dumbstruck Witnesses were unable to repeat the lucid remarks for fear of the impact on their own membership status. Incapable of handling the implications of Mr. LaGrange's remarks, the crowd became agitated and a riot quickly ensued. The panic stricken attendees trampled one another in a mad rush for the coffee dispenser. The literature table was looted and overturned. Metal folding chairs were flying everywhere as newcomers fled in horror. Oh the humanity! After the melee subsided, people began furiously working their tenth steps, cleaning up the mess, attending to the wounded, and making amends except when to do so would harm them or others. Damage to the church hall is estimated at seventeen thousand dollars. Alcoholics Anonymous would not comment due to its tradition of avoiding controversy, but did offer that our mention of Mr. LaGrange would not be considered a breach of anonymity, as he was no longer a member because he failed to meet the only requirement of AA membership which is a desire to stop THINKING. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let the next virus knock you out!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Ok, since you liked it here is some more har har. UPDATE ON CLANCEY THE AA ICON Clancey the AA Icon has been admitted to the psychiatric ward of St. 's Hospital in Santa , California for observation. A nurse, who is yet to be identified, apparently delivered a fruit basket to his room with a get well card depicting Venice Beach upon which was written, " Well fess up what is your part. " Clancey immediately grabbed his BB and began flipping through the pages but soon became almost catatonic and repeatedly slurrs and drools something that sounds like AAPOO, DEPOO. Dr. Rosenthal and his team are trying to figure out his associaton with R2 D2 from the Star Wars saga and his present condition. Get well cards can be addressed to St. 's Hospital, c/o the Psychiatric ward. Cards with fruit on them will not be forwarded to the patient. rashle-@... wrote: original article:/group/12-step-free/?start=7401 > Fruit? ha ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HAR HAR...
