There will be steps forward and backward in this process I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29783423.post-89932004500520391812007-01-14T17:01:00.000+00:002007-01-14T17:01:00.000+00:00I am a newspaper columnist in Chicago who ends my ...I am a newspaper columnist in Chicago who ends my daily column with a joke. I would like to print one of the controversial Nichane jokes or, if they are not printable, with an example of a Moroccan joke. Could you send me an example at nsteinberg@suntimes.com? Thank you. I will give you credit, or withhold your identity, as you prefer.<br /><br />Neil SteinbergAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
