Abby Li's Dad

For almost six years (1996 to 2002), I sent out a weekly email to my friends. This blog serves as an archive for those emails. The entries starting in May 2006 are my personal reflections on life as a father to Abby, a husband to Melissa, and everything else.

Humor: Star Wars vs. Star Trek

Hi everyone,

I know that most of you are both fans of Star Wars and Star Trek. With
the re-release of the Star Wars movie, I thought that this email is
especially appropriate. Thanks to Dave Shim for forwarding it to me.

Please do not hesitate to ask me to take you off my humor distribution
list if you just don't have the time to read it. I won't be offended.
I will limit it to once per week. Please send me humor that you get so
I can forward them to others.

On a personal note, I was suppose to start a project in Washington D.C.
today, but I found out on Friday afternoon that I won't be going there
after all. Most likely, I'll be going to a project in New York, so I
get a chance to see most of you. If Andersen puts me up in a nice
apartment somewhere in Manhattan, I'll invite you guys over for a party.

Take care and talk to you soon! Keep in touch! I promise to reply to
some of your emails soon. -Josh.

Top Ten Reasons Why the Star Wars Characters Would Kick Butt in the Star
Trek Universe

10) In the Star Wars universe, weapons rarely, if ever, are set on
"stun".

9) The Enterprise needs a huge engine room with an anti-matter unit
and a crew of twenty just to go into warp-- the Millennium Falcon
does
the same thing with R2-D2 and a Wookie.

8) After resisting the Imperial torture droid and Darth Vader,
Princess Leia still looked fresh and desirable-- after piddly
Cardassian starvation and torture, Picard looked like hell.

7) Jabba the Hutt would eat Harry Mudd for trying to cut in on his
action.

6) Luke Skywalker is not obsessed with sleeping with every alien he
encounters.

5) One word: lightsabers.

4) The Federation would have to attempt to liberate any ship named
Slave I.

3) The Death Star doesn't care if a world is Class M or not.

2) Darth Vader could choke the entire Borg empire with one glance.

1) Picard pilots the Enterprise through an asteroid belt at
one-quarter impulse power. Han Solo floors it.
