A Priest at a Church picnic was staring at a member of his 
parish wearing the tiniest of bikinis.
A Nun walked over and said,
"Shame on you Father, staring at that woman like that!"

The Priest replied, "Sister Mary Elizabeth, I know that you 
are on a diet,
and yet I saw you ogling the buffet."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
goes to 


Angela Renee Woodworth, 
45, of 17 Meadows Drive, 
Interlachen
Florida

Kids Flee From Car 
Because Of Florida Mom's 
Drunk Driving

An Interlachen woman was arrested Tuesday night on multiple 
charges after her child and three of his friends ran into 
a Gainesville Steak ‘n Shake and told a customer that the
 mother was driving drunk and that they jumped out of the 
car in fear, according to an arrest report.

Angela Renee Woodworth, 45, of 17 Meadows Drive, was charged 
with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of less 
than 20 grams of marijuana and four counts of child neglect, 
the Gainesville Police Department reported.

The incident occurred at the restaurant at 3714 SW 42nd St. 
about 8:30 p.m. The report states that a customer called 
911 regarding the comments of the children who ran inside 
and began crying.

When an officer arrived the children -- all age 11 -- 
appeared to be terrified, the report states.

The woman’s son told police that they had been to a 
park, a Chinese restaurant, bowling and to the mall. 
Woodworth drank two pitchers of beer at the bowling 
alley and a margarita at Ruby Tuesday at the mall, 
the boy told police.

As they left the mall, he told police, she was 
swerving all over the road and hit a pole, the report 
states. They jumped out when she stopped the car. 
The other children all gave the same account.

Police said Woodworth said she had one pitcher of 
beer but denied going to Ruby Tuesday. The report 
states her speech was slurred, she smelled of 
alcohol and she was “obviously intoxicated.” 

She was not charged with drunk driving.

Her car was wrecked.

Re: FireFox causes shutdowns
	
Dear Webby,
I an a very happy subscriber to both yours and Ophelia's 
newsletters. Some time ago, I foolishly allowed Firefox 
to upgrade me to a newer version.  I now have windows 
shutdowns.  I did stop auto upgrades. I am now being 
asked to upgrade to a new version that promises to 
stop the shutdowns.  

Is there another browser that is comparable to the 
good old firefox? 
What do you think?  
Andy


Dear Andy
I use Chrome most of the time,
and FireFox for printing.

Use PC Mechanic to fix your registry and performance 
problems, and there won't be any shutdowns. 
It is at http://webby.com/PCmechanic

I shut down when I have to because of program updates about 
once a month, and Chrome and Firefox work well side by side. 
I use the current versions of both of those. 

Only with Skype do I refuse updates beyond 6.20.0.104.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

A Sunday School teacher of pre-schoolers was concerned that his
students might be a little confused about Jesus Christ because of the
Christmas season emphasis on His birth. He wanted to make sure they
understood that the birth of Jesus occurred for real. 
He asked his class, "Where is Jesus today?"

Steven raised his hand and said, "He's in heaven."

Mary was called on and answered, "He's in my heart."

Little Johnny, waving his hand furiously, blurted out,
"I know, I know! He's in our bathroom!!!"

The whole class got very quiet, looked at the teacher,
and waited for a response. The teacher was completely
at a loss for a few very long seconds. Finally, he gathered 
his wits and asked Little Johnny how he knew this.

Little Johnny said, "Well... every morning, 
my father gets up, 
bangs on the bathroom door, and yells, 
"Jesus Christ!!, are you still in there !!"

A man passed out in a dead faint as he came out of his front door onto the
porch. Someone called 911. When the paramedics arrived, they helped
him regain consciousness and asked if he knew what caused him to faint.

"It was enough to make anybody faint," he said.
"My son asked me for the keys to the garage,
and instead of driving the car out,
he came out with the SNOW SHOVEL !"

Bet this took a lot of practice!
