We were using those as taglines in FidoNet in the 1980's. <g>

Here's a joke for a fire chief:
A man goes to the doctor and says, "Help me! My penis is burning"
The doc replies: "Relax. That just means somebody is talking about
it".
That's the standard version. But I prefer mine:
Patient: "Doc, help me. My penis is burning!"
Doctor: "Well, why are you bothering me. Call the Fire Dep't". :-)
[Ever get any emergencies like that?]
Had a productive day today: learned 2 new words, Fidonet and
tagline. (But I really don't get Fidonet.) If you say you were using
these taglines decades ago, I would imagine we Americans invented
them. It figures, Yankee ingenuity.
I found some websites where they have collections of these
"taglines". I like puns, so I will have a second look.j
