  WHAT WAS NOT SAID ON THIS IS BELOW.
  Hi everyone,

  Below is something that if you can't laugh at far out humer then I would 
  suggest not reading it. The spoof came from a publication in Madison 
  Wisconsin that does this kind of thing. Not sure how appropriate it is for 
  the list, but sometimes one just needs to be a little crazy!!

  >> Citizens, hear us well. Our great nation is being undermined by a secret

  >> The first issue I must point out is their very public display of armed

  >> their person at all times. These "canes," as they call them, are supposed 
  >> to help them feel their way along. They are painted white, almost as if

  >> tip is painted a chillingly suggestive red. Those who have studied the 
  >> mysterious fighting arts of the Orient know that such sticks may be 
  >> wielded with deadly force by those with skill.
  >>
  >> In a surprise attack, strategically placed squads of the "blind"
  >> could quickly overwhelm our police forces.  Their fearsome nature 
  >> encompasses more than just personal weaponry. Many of the alleged blind 
  >> also own large, vicious attack dogs for the supposed purpose of guidance 
  >> along city streets. With one word from their scheming masters, these 
  >> slavering "guide" dogs could become guided missiles!
  >>
  >> Indeed, most of these fearsome beasts are German shepherds, a species of 
  >> killer wolf invented by twisted, Fascist dog breeders, which has somehow 
  >> fallen into this most suspect faction of the disabled.  The most 
  >> frightening aspect of this diabolical conspiracy by far is their ability

  >> secret code consists of a series of raised dots cunningly arranged into 
  >> arcane shapes. Known as "Braille," this demonic alphabet has begun 
  >> popping up in places that were doubtlessly chosen for their mundane, 
  >> everyday outward appearance:
  >> elevators, building directories, automated teller machines and the like.
  >>
  >> This system seems rational enough, and does not attract undue attention. 
  >> But think! If the messages on the signs changed suddenly, how would we 
  >> know? Next year, next month, next week, maybe even tomorrow, the signs 
  >> will change from "second
  >> floor" to "STRIKE NOW! STRIKE HARD!" and our nation will be thrown into 
  >> the chaos of revolution.
  >>
  >> At this juncture, there is no hard evidence that the blind are planning 
  >> such a revolution.  We hope to have such evidence very soon. But can one 
  >> group possess such an overwhelming element of surprise and fail to use it 
  >> to seize power? And can their goals be anything but evil?
  >>
  >> No, I say! I maintain that true blindness lies in failing to see the 
  >> threat where it must obviously lie, and we must be vigilantly wary of the 
  >> blind menace.
