 Dude, For no reason I thought I’d write a paper 
                  on “the election of 1844 and its impact on the concept 
                  of manifest destiny.” I’m thinking I will make 4-6 
                  pages, and include at least 5 quotations. Also footnotes. So 
                  I was wondering if you could give me a quotation on that subject. 
                  Make it as long as possible. I’m sort of in a hurry to 
                  complete this paper so could I have your quote by Friday?  - Thanks in advance,  Kyle Kyle,
 “Horace Greely was a cross-dresser.” How’s 
                  that for a quote?  -Divers 
 Dear Diver,
 Why is it that men are so loyal to their favorite 
                  sports teams, but such traitors to the women who care about 
                  them?  -Anonymous Hmmm...what’s that? We were watching the game.
 - Thanks,  Divers 
 Dear Diver, Because of our western heritage here in Durango 
                  and all the horses in the area, I had an idea. What if we changed 
                  the name of Main Avenue to MANE Avenue (as in a horse’s 
                  mane)? Lots of towns have Main Street, but we could be different. 
                  How would I go about getting something like this started?  -VT Olson Jr. VT,
 Mane Ave...Mane. No, no, no, please refer to the next question. 
                 -Regards,  Divers

                    Dear Diver, Do you think that some of the problems people 
                      write in with are just, well, silly? Is the world full of 
                      losers who REALLY live like this, or is all this just made 
                      up?  -Wondering,  Jack Jordan,  Hermosa Hey Jack,
 You wrote US pal!  -Thanks, Divers 
 Dear Diver, Is it OK to take photos at a funeral? And what’s 
                      the deal with post-funeral activities? I have not been to 
                      a funeral in a while, but after the last one I went to we 
                      went back to my aunt’s house, where everyone pretty 
                      much got loaded. Oh yeah, and the picture thing, well, my 
                      crazy cousin was taking photos, and referring to something 
                      about the family never getting together, except when there 
                      is a funeral. Is this rude? And address the drinking issue 
                      as well please.  -Thanks,  Molly Molly McNabb,
 Is that you lassy? Why you should know better than to mock 
                      yer Irish heritage in such a manner. Why we ought to be 
                      smashin’ ya with a shillelagh. Gettin’ drunk 
                      and takin’ photos at yer uncle’s wake is just 
                      one way of sayin “We’ll never see the likes 
                      of you again!” And we’re hopin’ he’s 
                      in heaven an hour before the Devil knows he’s dead. 
                      Now run along lassy, and hopefully the road rises to meet 
                      ya.  -Thanks,  Divers
