Dear colleagues,
we had a *** wonderful *** event PWC'2000 (Personal Wireless Communica- tions; WG 6.8) in Gdansk, Poland.
Absolutely marvelous! And such a perfect organisation! Even the post conference full day tour to Malbork castle was fully free of charge .... even for all accompanying persons!!!
The only point was that the conference would have desperately deserved more attendees. There was some perfect time clash with a big event on the very same topic in Dresden, Germany (which is practically next door to Gdansk - at least from an Australian point of view). The advertisement for the conference in different countries - which is supposed to be a major task of TC6 national delegates - could have perhaps be a little more intensive (this is a rather cautious formulation). Anyway, the number of TC6 delegates was acceptably high: Jan Slavik, Villy Baek Iversen, Samir Tohme, and myself. Tadao Saito was announced but could not come since he was locked in a Shinkansen train due to flooding by means of a typhoon for twenty hours (!!) and he missed his plane to Europe.
We had so much fun that I who remained a day longer than the other TC6 delegates allow myself to tell you some new jokes. Maybe you can inform me whether you like them or whether you are disgusted. In the latter case I would create a sublist of delegates which contains only those names who like similar jokes.
Best regards Otto
p.s.: The jokes follow (and a third and even better one in a few minutes). Have fun (hopefully!).

DON'T CARE
This man from the Middle East wants to visit the US. Of course, he has to fill out the immigration sheet. The immigration officer (without looking at the man) says: "The form is incomplete. I need information about your sex". The man from the Middle East: "Oh yes, six times per day". And the officer: "I didn't ask for this kind of information. What I wanted to know, is: Male or female?". And the man from the Middle East: "Oh, I absolutely don't care about that".

POOR BURGLAR
A burglar breaks in a house during midnight. Full darkness! In the living room he suddenly hears a voice saying: "JESUS will come to you. HE is already near". The burglar (very nervous) is looking around but doesn't see anything. And the same voice repeats: "JESUS will come to you. HE is already VERY near". The burglar switches his electric torch and sees a beautiful parrot sitting on a perch. The burglar: "Did you utter that stupid phrase?" The parrot: "Yes, sir". The burglar: "Who are you?" The parrot: "My name is MOSES, sir". The burglar: "Which bloody idiot can name his parrot MOSES"?? The parrot: "The very same bloody idiot who named his pitbull JESUS".
