OFF: Test (sorry--please ignore)

[Carl E. Anderson]

     Found a weird word-wrap problem with my email to one of my other
lists, and thought it might be related to the clipped text problem Damon
mentioned.  So this is a test ...



In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules: If you are
making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously.
Do not waste time blocking your ears. Do not waste time seeking a
soundproof shelter. Try to get as far away from the sonic source as
possible, but do not panic ...

Use your wheels. It is what they are for. Small babies may be placed
inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a
shelter. Do not attempt to use your own limbs. If no wheels are available,
metal, not organic, limbs
should be employed whenever practical ...

Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack, Survival does mean every man for
himself. Statistically more people survive if they think only of
themselves. Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones.
You have only a few seconds to escape--use those seconds sensibly or you
will inevitably die.

Do not panic.
Think only of yourselves....

These are the first signs of Sonic Attack: You will notice small objects,
such as ornaments, oscillating. You will notice a vibration in your
vertebrae. You will hear a distant hissing in your ears. You will feel
dizzy. You will feel the need to vomit. There will be an ache in the
pelvic region.  There may be bleeding from orifices. There will be an ache
in the pelvic region. You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting,
or even laughter.

These are all signs of imminent Sonic destruction.

Your only protection is flight. If you are less than ten years old, then
remain in your shelter and use your cocoon. But remember: You can help
no-one else, No-one else, No-one else ...
