[Crow] Not me!  I wanna dance really _cool_!

]  Squaredancing is:

[Tom] In general, square.

]   - A great way to meet new friends

[Crow] If you haven't met them yet, how can they be your friends?

]   - GREAT EXERCISE  (about equal to tennis)

[Mike] I wonder what kind of racquets they use.
[Tom] In tennis?
[Mike] In square dancing.

]   - GREAT FUN!!!

[Crow] Where where where?!
[Tom] I think he's referring to the "square dancing"
[Crow] Oh.

]  The Mountain View Bows & Beaus,

[Tom] Has a really nice _ring_ to it, don't you think?

]a singles squaredance club

[Crow] Uh...shouldn't that be "single"?
[Mike] Maybe he means "single's"
[Tom] Or possibly "singles'"
[Mike] It's all these things, and more!

]in Mountain View, CA., is starting up a new squaredance class

[Tom] Well, thanks for posting this to the whole _world_, then.

]for beginning squaredancers.  The class is open to anyone 18 years of age
]or older,

[Mike] I hear that 18 is the legal age for square dancing in California.

]single or not, with or without a dance partner.

[Crow] You mean it's okay to square dance if you _aren't_ single?
[Tom] Must be.  But I'm still trying to figure out how you do it without
      a partner.
[Mike] Tom, please...there are little children watching.

]The class starts January 10th (monday nights), and the
]first three classes are FREE

[Tom] Not just free, but FREE.
[Crow] Will they pay my air fare, too?

](1/10,1/17 and 1/24).  Thereafter, the cost for the class is $3.00/week or
]$12.00/month (if you pay by the month, the cost works out to $3.00/week).

[Mike] What a great savings!
[Crow] For the mathematically impaired...

]The class will be held at Whisman Elementary School, 310 Easy St., Mountain
]View.  The class starts a 8:00pm and goes to 10:00pm.  Whisman School is
]east of Middlefield Road, between Tyrella and Moffatt Blvd.

[Mike] I was _wondering_ where that was!

]    The Mountain View Bows & Beaus

[Tom] Has a really nice _ring_ to it, don't you think?
[Mike] hehe

]is a well-established and well-respected Singles Squaredance club,
]which is a member of SCVSDA (Santa Clara Valley Square Dancers Association).

[Crow] Well, _now_ I feel safe!

] The Bows & Beaus

[Tom] Has a really nice _ring_ to it, don't you think?
[Crow] Tom, please...

]have been dancing in Mountain View for many years,

[Tom] And, boy, are they tired!
[Crow] hehe

]and annually hosts the 'Ice Cream Fling Thing',

[Mike] Oh, God...I _don't_ want to know...

]a Plus-level Hoedown in June.

[Tom] Is that anything like a split-level?

]Our Caller,

[Tom] Is on the air!

]Keith Ferguson, is well known in the local squaredance community as one of
]the best callers/

[Mike] He's taken phone lessons.

]instructors in the area.  The Bows & Beaus

[Tom] Has a really nice _ring_ to it, don't you think?
[Crow] Will you please stop it?!  It's not funny anymore!

]club dances at the 'Plus' level,

[Mike] Rather than with ordinary mortals.

]as do most of the squaredance clubs in the Santa Clara Valley.

[Crow] So ours is clearly superior.

]Our class is taught so that at the completion of the class, each member
]of the class is 'Graduated' into the 'Plus' level of squaredancing.

[Tom] In spite of their abilities.

]If you have any questions,

[Mike] Then write your name down on a piece of paper, crumple it up, and
       throw it away.

]or would like to talk with someone

[Crow] Please call our crisis hotline, at 1-800-BITE-ME

]in person about this class, please feel free

[Tom] Yes!  At last!  I am FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

]to call Keith at 408-867-7715, or Paul at 408-982-9668.

[Mike] Or if you want a date...

]SPECIAL NOTE TO MEN:

[Crow] Do you ever feel, you know, not so fresh?
[Mike] Crow, that was in very poor taste.
[Tom] And you got the gender wrong, you moron!

]Squaredance classes in general usually have an EXCESS of

[Mike] Lonely, desperate people.

]single women without partners.  So if you are thinking you need to

[Tom] Guys, I don't even want to _know_ what this guy is implying here.

]have a partner to attend our class, don't worry about it.

[Mike] What about the single women?  How do _they_ get partners?

]I'm sure there will be plenty of women to go around.

[Tom] I knew it!  I _knew_ it!  Mike, this is disgusting!
[Crow] Apparently, some people _are_ that desperate.

]Paul Whitmer
]VP - Bows & Beaus Squaredance Club 

[Tom] That has a really nice...
[Crow] Don't say it!

]Mountain View, CA.

[Mike] I thought CA was for Canada?
[All] *sings*  "Oh, Canada!..."

]P.S.  If Monday night is not a good night for you,

[Tom] Then deal with it, pink boy!

]but you are still interested in learning to squaredance,

[Mike] *Sally Struthers voice*  Would _you_ like to learn square dancing?
[All] Sure!  We all would!

]there are other clubs in the area starting classes in January, who teach
]their classes on other nights of the week.

[Crow] Ahhh!  It's spreading!  It's spreading!!!!!!!

]Please feel free to call either of the two numbers above

[Crow] And ask them if they have "Prince Albert" in a can.

]to get information on any of the squaredance classes starting in January.
]
]P.P.S.  Our first class night was held on January 10th with GREAT success. 

[Mike] Well, thanks for letting us know ahead of time!

]However, the class is not yet full, there is room for about 30-35 more.

[Tom] Translation:  no one showed up.

]Also, there is an unusually high number of MEN who attended our first class,
]so to all of you WOMEN out there, there are MEN waiting for you to show up
]who will be eager to dance with you.

[Crow] Hey!  Doesn't this contradict what he just said?!
[Mike] Yes, Crow, but sometimes "logical thought" is just too much to ask.

]Remember, the next 2 classes (1/17 and 1/24) are FREE, so what do you have
]to lose?

[Mike] My dignity?
[Crow] My self esteem?
[Tom] My Monday nights?
[All] All of the above!
[Mike] Come on, guys...let's get out of here.


1  .....  2  .....  3  .....  4  .....  5  .....  6  .....




[Mike] What do you think, Sirs?
