Well,

Somebody from BACPS finally flamed me stating "What do pumpkins
have to do with CPs?" To which I answer "What does Rafflesia
have to do with CPs?" or for that matter Sauramatum Titanicum?
Which reminds me...here's a CP joke:

Three research scientists were attending a big CP conference
at the U.C. Berkeley Botanical Arboretum.

While they're talking with each other at the table, One CP
Scientist from MIT starts beeping from his tie. So he pulls
on his tie and begins conversing with someone on his two way
wristwatch communicator.

Everybody stares at the man, and he replies. "I have an electronic
beeper in my tie and I have a communications system in my watch
so I can stay in contact with CP growers across the world."

The conference continues. The second CP scientist (from U.C. Berkeley)
starts beeping from his ear. He plays with his ear, touches one of
his teeth, and starts talking to thin air.

Everybody stares at the man, and he replies. "I have an electronic
beeper in my ear and I have a two-way radio embedded in one of my
teeth so I can stay in contact with CP researchers in the jungle."

The conference continues. The third CP scientist (from U.C.L.A.)
passes gas very loudly. Everybody stares at the man in shock. THe man
says... "Could I please have a piece of paper? I'm about to receive a
fax from Borneo."
