How about "Bumper Stickers From the 'Information Superhighway'",
instead of "Taglines Seen Around the Nets"?

Mark,

An excellent idea!  It has been implemented this month with a slight
modification.  The new heading will be: "Bumper Stickers Seen on the
Information Superhighway".  You will receive a free copy of _Command
Line Cowboys_ just as soon as you send us your snailmail address.
Thank you for helping to improve RAH!   Dave  

P.S. The idea of calling this segment of the magazine "Lettuce to the
Editor" rather than the mundane "Letters..." originally came from a
RAH reader.  Unfortunately I simply used the idea while forgetting to
recognize the author.  Even more unfortunately I have long since
forgotten who made the suggestion.  If that person is reading this,
you have my apologies.

 Subject: RAH's Logo and v1.1      

In popular response (and policy of Wild Bill T. Cat 
Software) to Random Access Humor Version 1 Release 1 
(Shortened to v1.1 here), we present another attempt to 
confuse the general public.  Please, Wild Bill T. Cat 
Software is not liable for any lack of common sense or 
sense of humor.

In October of 1993, the head of Wild Bill T. Cat Software, 
Kelly "Price STriker" Price received the (then) latest 
issue of RAH, read it, and submitted this entry (which is 
now the new RAH logo):

              ______       __       __  __          ______
             / __  /      /  \      \ \ \ \        / _\/_ \
            / /_/ /andom / /\ \ccess \ \_\ \umor  | |____| |
           / _  _/      / ____ \      \  __ \     \__ \____/
          / / \ \      / /    \ \      \ \ \ \     |_\____|
         /_/   \_\    /_/      \_\      \_\ \_\     |____|

Now, at the end of the RAH initials, is NOT a exclamation mark, nor a
piping character.  It is a strait jacket, strait from Random Access
Humor. (If you have read or edited previous editions of RAH, you will
get the idea.) 

For those with EGA screens it is preferred that you view the 
logo at 25*43 text mode.  VGA owners please use 25*50.

If this has confused you even more, then our purpose is done here. 

If you have any questions, please E-Mail Kelly Price at the 
RAH Publication BBS at Fidonet (1:261/1129).  We get RAH directly.

 Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what that figure was.
 At first I too thought it was an exclamation mark, and then I saw a
 papoose, and finally a scat pile.  But a straightjacket?  Naaaaah!  
 ....very fitting, but... wait... now I see a cerambycid (family of 
 beetle) larva.  Ah!  a Rorschach logo!  How deucedly clever! 
 
 Cheers

Dear Editor - 
    If a computer goes down, and no one is there to watch it, does it
really crash?

Dear Mattl,

That depends on how well it glides.
