Subject: This tree has no nodes. No nodes, how does it parse? Recursively! I've got this compilation of variations on the "My Dog's Got no Nose" joke, which I thought you might like to use in rec.humor.funny. I have read your list of submission guidelines, and I know that you don't like people to submit groups of jokes all at once, *but* ... Well, when you have read through these, you will realise that a lot of them don't make sense out of context. You will be glad to see that these are all fully attributed. Mike Taylor is me, Andy Charles, Andreas Pagel and Mike Lessacher are friends, and Andy Clews is a systems administrator I happen to be in email contact with, due to him liking the original MDGNN compendium, (which consisted basically of the first fourteen of these). You should know that this subset of the following was posted to eunet.jokes, about 18 months ago, but that otherwise, these are all completely new. I hope you can use these, then. Keep up the good work with the group! /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ The Complete "My Dog's Got No Nose" Compendium ============================================== 1st man: My dog's got no nose. 2nd man: How does he smell? 1st man: Awful.

However, the animal does have a fairly unpleasant body odour, should you be interested. (Andy Clews) Cannibal Dog: My dog's got no nose. (Mike Lessacher) Senile old fool: My dog's got no nose.
