Joke of the day:   Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other. One looked at the other and said, "So. What did you think?"              -- Steven Wright About humor:  It is difficult to write seriously about humor because . . . humor is a funny thing.
