In Utah, there is a building just off I-15 with a sign that says:
VIRTUAL GOLF BARN
I laugh now just thinking about it. I think adding "barn" to almost
anything makes it funny. Dragon Barn. CIA Barn. Ninja Barn. Crunchy Corn
Barn. "Women's Dress Barn" (another actual Utah store) cracks me up,
because (a) "barn" connotes livestock, not fashion, and (b) "women's"?.
I mean to say, really. "Women's"?

This is where I realized this was a troll. Wizardry was an RPG, not an
action game. Please check your facts before posting nonsense to USENET!

Student: But what if the cave is just a shadow in another cave?
Socrates: There are some mysteries that are hidden from we mortals.
Student: Has the hemlock kicked in?
Socrates: Fear not, I collected enough silver coins, and now I have an extra
life. Thanks, P.L.A.T.O.!

You've been watching a lot of late night teevee lately, haven't you?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Uh, Dress Barn is a national chain originating in Stamford, Connecticut,
and Dress Barn Woman is their "large sizes" store or section (as opposed
to Misses and Petites). I think "barn" was really intended to connote
(a) simple, informal styles (their mission statement says "style is about
character, not about expensive labels") and (b) too many of them to fit
in the house. While "Woman" does fall in the WORST EUPHEMISM EVER
category, that's far too pathetic for it actually to be funny. Not from
a clocktower, anyway.

I had no idea they could do that with ordinary string.

Blazemonger 'customer service' does this better than you.
Let's test your theory.
Lint Barn
Potato Barn
Map Barn
Underoos Barn
Hermit Crab Repellent Barn
Fart Barn
I'm not sure the barn really makes the fart that much funnier.

However, Steve Allen would
tell you that "Bart Farn" would
be the funniest thing ever.

Barn Barn.
Nope, that one just doesn't work for me. Perhaps it's one of those, "Sets
that contain all sets except sets that contain themselves," sort of things.
