   Pornography, literally, meant advertisememnts for prostitution, in olde Rome.

   I've nefver been in one -- I'm guessing they're lkle tyhe regular Holiday Inn,   
   but without perks or extras.  Your complimentary breakfast is a half price   
   McMuffin coupon for the McDonalds across the street.

   One of our secretaries, Ms. Helen Hunt, has found a purse; if you've lost a   
   purse, you can go to Helen Hunt for it.   
      
    > ... If you live in Hawaii, where do you go on vacation??   
      
   Somewhere cheaper?   
   Somewhere with widely different climate just for a change? (Raincouver,BC,   
   e.g.)   
      
   I've visited, accidentally, a touristy trap in SoCal in '85 -- I've done enough   
   of that now, so HI not high on my list of places to visit.   
      
   If I did, I'd rent a 6-bedroom house for a couple months & sublet rooms to   
   other vacationers by the week at a rate that'll make me some decent income & a   
   free vacation for me. (it'll be cheaper by the week than a Waikiki hotel is for   
   the night, probably)   
      
   Vacation smarter, not harder. . .   
      
   I accidentally burned my Hawaiian pizza.   
   Should have used aloha temperature.   
      
   Q: What does a Hawaiian comedian put on a sunburn?   
   A: Aloe-Ha!   
      
   Q: What do you call a Hawaiian murder mystery?   
   A: A Hula-Dunit   
      
   Would a baritone laugh be a low ha?   
      
   Q: What do you call the first Hawaiian in space?   
   A: A Coconaut
