       Christine made her way out to the front gate just as the two
latecomers came speeding up the road, bickering as always.  With careful
timing and perfect aim, she splashed the pig-tailed boy as he ran past,
transforming him into a girl.
       "Ranma!   Not again!  Now we're going to be late again!" the
short-haired girl shouted.  Christine waited until they were well out of
earshot before she began cackling with glee.   Oh, it was good to be alive!
       Ranma and Akane ran on to school, each wondering just who the heck
that old washer-woman was.

Bwahahaha!!!

And you know what else is funny: Look at the date above. Ranma and Akane
have been carrying on the same schtick for over *sixty years*.

	"Ranma, you jerk! I told you we shouldn't have eaten that
mermaid's meat!"
	"Hey, I was hungry! Anyway, it was better than your cooking!"
	"JERK!" <BAM!>
