A hot shot East Coast newspaper reporter was on
assignment in Arkansas, when he struck up a
conversation with a young lady in a bar.
After a half dozen drinks, he suggested they get their
own bottle and retire to his motel room, and she
readily agreed.
"Say, how old are you anyway?" the reporter asked as
the obviously young lass was disrobing.
"Thirteen," she replied with a shy smile.
"Thirteen ??? My God, girl !!! You get those clothes
back on at once at get the hell outta here ! Are you
crazy ?" he thundered.
Pausing briefly at the door as she left, the perplexed
nymphet smiled and said, "Superstitious, huh ?"

Miss Jones had been giving her second-grade students a
lesson on science. She had explained about magnets and
showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron.
Now it was question time and she asked, "My name begins
with the letter 'M' and I pick up things. What am I?"
A little boy on the front row said, "You're a mother."

A senator is visiting a primary school. In one class, he
asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a
"tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers that, "If my
best friend who lives next door is playing in the street
when a car came by and killed him, that would be a
tragedy."
"No," the Senator says, "That would be an ACCIDENT."
A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty
children drove off a cliff, killing everyone inside ...
that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explains the Senator. "That is what we
would call a GREAT LOSS."
The room is silent; none of the other children dare
volunteer.
"What?" asks the Senator, "Isn't there anyone here who can
give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally Little Johnny in the back raises his hand. In a
timid voice, he says: "If an airplane carrying a Senator
was blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy."
"Marvelous!" the Senator beams. "And can you tell me WHY
that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says Johnny, "because it wouldn't be an accident,
and it certainly would be no great loss!"

Re: Screen is sideways
Dear Webby,
I accidentally bumped my computer screen and it flipped it
sideways. How do I get it to go straight again?

Dear Wanda
Rotate Screen with a Keyboard Shortcut
Hit CTRL + ALT + Up Arrow and your Windows desktop should
return to landscape mode. You can rotate the screen to
portrait or upside-down landscape, by hitting CTRL + ALT +
Left Arrow, Right Arrow or Down arrow.
Keep in mind that Microsoft is NOT consistent. You might
have to go at it through the Cpntrol Panel.
Have FUN!

A large sinkhole opens up on a remote town. An alarming
number of people fall into it and injure themselves and
it's difficult to get them all to the small hospital they
have.
The mayor gathers the city council to figure out a
solution. The smartest city councilor suggests they park an
ambulance next to the hole to get people to the hospital
faster. The rest unanimously agree. However, they only have
2 ambulances and they're needed more in the center of the
town to get there quickly.
So the mayor gathers the council a second time. The second
smartest councilor suggests they close the road between the
hole and the hospital so the ambulance can ferry people
faster. Everyone nods in deep wisdom. Alas, after a few
days it's obviously not really doing much and it just
creates more accidents with too many cars on the smaller
roads.
Finally they gather for a third time to take drastic
measures. The third smartest councilor says they need to
tear down the hospital and rebuild it next to the hole.
Finally the mayor can't take it anymore. He slams his fist
on the table and yells: "You idiots! Do you know how much
moving the hospital will cost?! There's an obvious and easy
solution to this problem! We fill in the hole and then we
dig a new one next to the hospital!"

DEFINITION OF OUTDOOR BARBECUING
It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do
When a man volunteers to do such cooking, the following
chain of events is
put into motion:
(1) The woman goes to the store.
(2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a
tray along with
the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man,
who is lounging
beside the grill, drinking a beer.
(4) The man places the meat on the grill.
(5) The woman goes inside to set the table and check the
vegetables.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is
burning.
(7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to
the woman.
(8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the
table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the
dishes.
(10) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night
off."
And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that
there's just no pleasing some women.

A Bonehead award has been reported by Rock
Anthony Maina,
52,
Hackney,
Stoke Newington,
England
Paedophile who groomed and raped girl in Hackney
jailed for 28 years
A “vile” paedophile who groomed and raped a young girl in
Hackney has been jailed for 28 years.
Anthony Maina, 52, of Allen Road, Stoke Newington, was
sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday, after being
found guilty of 17 offences, including seven counts of rape.
The court heard how Maina exploited a position of trust to
groom the girl, buying her gifts, clothing, food and mobile
phones in a bid to normalise the abuse he was carrying out.
He referred to the victim as “his girl” and his “best friend
in the universe”, and would regularly accuse her of having
“neglected” him if she did not maintain contact.
Maina would isolate her from all of those around her to knock
away at her confidence to prevent her from questioning what he
was doing.
He would ask the survivor to come to his property under false
pretences, such as to receive a parcel or let some workmen in,
and would then abuse her.
When she began to challenge this, he would suggest to her
other family members she was being unhelpful, to in effect
force her to come to his property.
Investigating officer Met Detective Constable Stefan Wimmer
said Maina’s crimes were some of the most “vile and despicable
psychological manipulation and sexual abuse I have ever
encountered.
“It is sickening to think that individuals like Maina exist,”
he said.
The girl went to her local police station in December 2018 to
report the sexual abuse she was subjected to and an
investigation was launched.
DC Wimmer said: “Maina did not show a flicker of remorse over
the course of the investigation, and tried to claim in
interview the survivor was merely a ‘troublemaker’ in an
attempt to discredit her.
“The survivor, on the other hand, has shown an immense amount
of patience, courage and resolve since the moment she came to
police and I have nothing but admiration for her.
“It is because of her bravery in coming forward and assisting
police that Maina is behind bars. I hope that the sentence
provides her with some solace, and that in time she can put
this horrific episode of her life behind her.”

Having arrived at the edge of the
river, the fisherman soon realized
he had forgotten to bring any bait.
Just then he happened to see a little
Copperhead snake passing by who had caught a worm.
The fisherman snatched up the snake and
robbed him of his worm. Feeling sorry
for the little snake with no lunch, he_
snatched him up again and poured a little
beer down his throat and went about his fishing.
An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug
at his pant leg.
Looking down, he saw the same snake
with three more worms.
