Top Five
A humorous email publication, in the same vein as
the famous David Letterman Top 10 lists. Top Five is written by
various "cubicle comics" across the Internet and edited by Chris
White. Contributors send their own original witticisms on a specific
topic, and Chris picks the best of the crop for each "Top Five" list.
Always funny, but sometimes a bit on the bawdy side.
