It takes two to quarrel, but only one to end it.

Thanks to Sandie for this story:
We are fortunate our grandchildren live close by and visit us often. 
When our seven-year-old granddaughter, Morgan, comes over, 
she loves to watch her grandmother when she is baking. 

"Oma," she asked one day, "where did you learn how to cook?" 
She told her that she learned from her mother and passed on the 
knowledge to her daughter. Someday, she continued, her mother 
will pass the knowledge on to her. 

There was a short silence. "No, I don't think so," Morgan said. 
"Mom puts everything in the microwave."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to the Austrian Rugby team

Not sore loosers
Submitted by Arturas
May 8, 2008 - Vilnius, Austria - Reuters
The Austrian national rugby team tried to get over their 48-0 
defeat by Lithuania by staging a mass striptease in the capital 
Vilnius late on Saturday, only to find they had been caught on 
video and put on the Internet.

The video, put out by a blogger on social community website 
Virb (http:/www.virb.com/justafa/blog/701053) and then taken 
up by the Lithuanian news portal Delfi, showed a group of 
20 men singing and stripping off their clothes on a street in 
central Vilnius, while people in a nearby bar clapped and 
cheered.

"Yes, these were the men we played against on Saturday ... 
I guess the defeat could have prompted them to do that," 
Lithuanian rugby federation President Aleksandras Makarenka 
told Reuters.

Delfi quoted the Vilnius police chief as saying stripping in public 
could be considered an act of hooliganism -- but by then the 
Austrian team had gone home.

Thanks to Walter for this one:

Four insurance companies are in competition. One comes up with the
slogan, "Coverage from the cradle to the grave."

The Second one tries to improve on that with, Coverage from the womb
to the tomb."

Not to be outdone, the third one comes up with, "From the sperm to the
worm."

The fourth insurance company really thought hard and almost gave up
the race, but finally came up with, "From the erection to the
resurrection."

Re: IE7 Blocker


Dear Webby:
A thousand - no, make that a million - thanks to you for the time and 
effort you invest in this newsletter.  I look forward to it every day.
 
In today's Tech Support response, you said:
 
Just make sure you got your IE7 blocker in place, so that they can't 
slither that in on you.
I would love to know what the "IE7 blocker" is; I've not been 
downloading updates because I don't want it to "slither in".  If you 
published this info in a previous letter, I must have missed it somehow.
 
Thank you.
~Teresa~

Dear Teresa
The IE7 blocker blocks the automatic updates from including IE7.
It's not that Microsoft listened to what people want, apparently the
military demanded the blocker.
 
You can get the IE7 blocker in my toolbox at http://webby.com/tools

Here is a direct link to it:

Sam and Ruth from Maine had just bought a new car when winter 
returned in May. 

"I wonder if the car has seat warmers," Ruth said. 
"It sure does," said Sam, looking through the owner's manual. 
"Here it is: rear defrosters."

May 8, 2008 - Ottawa, Ontario - Gimundo
 
Everyone feels a little friendlier on a Friday afternoon. But on April 
25th, more than 12,000 students, teachers, and parents from 10 
Ottawa-area high schools took their T.G.I.F. joy to the next level, 
joining together in a supersized group hug that spanned a circle 
around the city's Rideau Canal.

It wasn't just the elation of another week coming to an end that 
brought the group together, though: The major-league hug was 
an attempt to break a Guinness World Record, and a fundraiser 
to collect more than $150,000 for several Ottawa nonprofit 
organizations. In 2004, the city first broke the record for world's 
biggest hug with 5,100; but after being beaten by a group of 
amorous Americans, they decided to reclaim their title this year. 
They're still waiting on verification from Guinness, but it seems 
like a sure thing that Ottawa will be back on top this time.

Jill was discussing the various aspects and possible outcome of 
her insurance policy with the man at the insurance agency. 

During the discussion, she asked, "Suppose I take the life insurance 
for my husband today and tomorrow he dies. What will I get?" 

The agent eyed her suspiciously and replied, "Probably a life sentence."

Buying a latte and eating lunch out costs about $10 a day, that 
adds up to $2,600 a year. If you brought it from home, you could 
save as much as $2,000 a year. The same goes for eating out 
at night. Multiply the average cost by 52 for the yearly cost 
(don't forget to include the tip and tax).

Scorcher Murphy was selling his house and put the matter in an agent's 
hands. The agent wrote up a sales blurb for the house that made 
wonderful reading. 

After Murphy read it, he turned to the agent and asked, 
"Have I got all ye say there?"

The agent said, "Certainly ye have. Why d'ye ask?" 

Replied Murphy, "Cancel the sale! 'Tis too good to part with."
