Selected by Jim Griffith. MAIL your joke to [email protected].
Attribute the joke's source if at all possible. A Daemon will
auto-reply.
If you don't need an auto-reply, submit to [email protected] instead.
For the full submission guidelines, see http://comedy.clari.net/rhf/
Administrative note:
I recently discovered that a local configuration problem has caused
entries
submitted in the early morning hours to be received, acknowledged, and
silently discarded (basically, someone chmod'ed /tmp unwritable by me,
which
caused problems under specific circumstances). This problem has existed
for
the past several months. We have a backup logging procedure which has
records of all of the missing submissions, and I've managed to extract
and
"resubmit" the missing jokes. As of right now, I've processed every
submission in the queue except for the formerly missing ones, which I
will
start processing immediately. There were quite a few of them, so it may
take some time. I apologize for the problem, and for the fact that due
to
the time it went unnoticed, many of the formerly missing jokes will be
rejected as "no longer funny" - ed.
