This was in the Washington Post ... the title of  the
 article was "Best Comeback Line Ever."
 
 In  summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, a
 22-year-old white male, resident of Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch
 at 11:38 p.m. on  Friday.  Lawrence will be charged with lewd
 and  lascivious behavior, public  indecency, and public
 intoxication at the Gwinnett County courthouse on  Monday.
 
 The suspect explained that as he was passing a  pumpkin
 patch he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft  and
 squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles.
 At  least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone  interview.
 
 Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to  the
 side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt  was
 appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded  to satisfy
 his alleged "need." "I guess I was just really into it,  you know?"
 he commented with evident  embarrassment.
 
 In the process, Lawrence apparently failed to  notice a
 Gwinnett County police car approaching and was unaware of  his
 audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached  him.
 
 "It was an unusual situation, that's for sure,"  said
 officer Taylor."  I walked up to (Lawrence) and  he's...just
 working away at this pumpkin."
 
 Taylor  went on to describe what happened when  she
 approached Lawrence.  "I just went up and said,
 'Excuse  me sir, but do you realize that you are screwing a pumpkin?'
 He  froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there,
 and then  looked me straight in the face and said,
 
 "A  pumpkin?  Damn...is it midnight  already?"

A guy applied to join a nudist club.
"Exactly what do you do here?"
he asked.

"It's quite simple," said the club secretary,
"We take off all our clothes and commune with nature."

"Cool," said the guy, "...count me in!!!"
So he paid his membership fee, took off his gear and strolled off.
As he walked along a path, he saw a big sign which read,
"Beware of Gays."
A little further along he saw another sign which read the same thing
"Beware of Gays."
He continued walking until he came to a small clearing
which had a bronze plaque set in the ground.
He bent over to read the plaque and it said,
"Sorry,... You've had two warnings!"

Copyright Explained 

When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you 
write, if the copy is right.  If however, your copy falls over, you 
must right your copy.  If you write religious services you write 
rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write. 

Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to 
copyright the right copy they write.  A right wing cleric would write 
right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the 
right to write.  His editor has the job of making the right rite copy 
right before the copyright can be right. 

Should Jim Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write 
right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright.  Duplicating 
that rite would copy Wright right rite, and violate copyright, which 
Wright would have the right to right.
