RE:OT-Funniest Iris Stories

Many of you belong to the Median Iris Society and this blurb is on page 87 of
the latest issue.  You do not have to belong to MIS to enter and I KNOW many
of you have very funny stories you can submit.  We all need a laugh-a-day!
..........................................................................
FUNNIEST IRIS STORIES CONTEST
Now, we all know people who take the IRIS Addiction much too seriously!  But,
we also know MANY people (including ourselves!) who have hilariously funny
stories about growing, showing, transporting, hybridizing and moving irises.
Many times these stories involve our mates, kids, pets, neighbors, friends,
ex-friends and family.  And these stories make us chuckle for years!

We share these stories with our iris friends (no one else finds them funny!)
while waiting for meetings to start (they are always late!), putting together
designs at shows (which some of us are reluctant to do!), sitting next to one
another on Iris Tour busses, and while waiting in lines for everything!

We IRIS Addicts love reading them!  It is almost as good as getting the first
new Catalogs with pictures in February!!

Sob&.Medianite has gathered together prizes from its Hybridizer members to
reward you for putting your funniest or most tragic stories in writing for
publication in the Medianite!  We have a panel of judges, all of whom have a
sense
of humor and anonymous (no brickbats allowed) and simple rules.  We encourage
all iris people to send in submissions b if they arenbt members of MIS,
then we
bll talk them onto it!!  We will even post the Contest on the MIS Website!

Rules: Funniest Iris Stories
1) Submit your funniest iris story in writing, no limit on length, to
Medianite Guest Editor, Rita Gormley to be received prior to August 1, 2004.
Mail,
e-mail alone or with attachment (Word or RTF) or carrier pigeon is fine.
2) The three funniest stories will earn each writer three newer Median iris
introductions from generous hybridizers.
3) All stories submitted become the property of Medianite and may be edited
for length and grammar.
4) Decision of the Judges is final and each entry will be gratefully
acknowledged.

Join in the fun!!!
