I remember a conversation that took place on a CompuServe forum. Started with the normal "blah blah~g~ " [~g~ being "grin] progressed to "blah blah~ggg~ blah ", [~ggg~ being giggle]. then progressed to "~ggg~ ~gggg~ blah ~ggggg~". Reading thru the thread was, funny, absurd, but funny, laughed thru the entire thread. [The less than greater signs got lost]
