- Not at all--"happy being single" implies that I'm not feeling any desperate
- need to be unsingle at the moment; while this does not imply a preference
- for being single, it does imply that I don't feel any tremendous urgency
- to cease to be single. As such, it's a valid entry on my list and goes in
- the general category of "reasons why I haven't tried all that hard to
- stop being single."

- Awww, gee. Well, lucky for you, we here in the cable TV business are
- working even now on ways to make sure you don't have to watch "Gilligan's
- Island" reruns or even episodes of the upcoming series, "Gilligan's
- Island, the Next Generation." Later this year, we'll be unveiling the
- new 24-hour "Leave it to Beaver" channel, so you'll always have an
- entertaining and wholesome alternative to GITNG; better yet, we're working
- on a plan to keep expanding those annoying little station ID symbols that
- live in the bottom right corner of your screen and never go away except
- during commercials--by mid-1995, the plan is to have expanded them to the
- point where they cover the entire screen and we can all save big bucks by
- purchasing only the audio rights to the Gilligan's Island reruns we'll be
- showing. (Don't worry, though--we'll be passing those savings on to us.)
