A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in Vegas.
She's down to her last $50. Exasperated, she exclaims, "What
rotten luck I've had today! What in the world should I do
now?"
A man standing next to her suggests, "I don't know... why
don't you play your age?"
He walks away. Moments later, his attention is grabbed by
a great commotion at the roulette table. Maybe she won! He
rushes back to the table and pushes his way through the
crowd. The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table
operator kneeling over her. The man is stunned. He asks,
"What happened? Is she all right?"
The operator replies, "I don't know. She put all her money
on 29, and 36 came up. Then she just fainted!"

DEMOCRACY
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for
being successful. Barbara Streisand sings for you.
REPUBLICANISM
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?
SOCIALIST
You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your
neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his
cow.
COMMUNIST
You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you
with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive
and sour.
CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE
You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of
cows.
BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE
You have two cows. Under the new farm program the government pays
you to shoot one, milk the other, and then pours the milk down
the drain.
AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do
an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk
of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin
an announcement to the analysts stating you have downsized and
are reducing expenses. Your stock goes up.
FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
You go to lunch and drink wine. Life is good.
JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the
size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They
learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the
top of their class at cow school.
GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink
lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred
miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of
vacation per year.
ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While
ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch.
Life is good.
RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You have some vodka. You count them and learn
you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them
again and learn you have 42 cows. The Mafia shows up and takes
over however many cows you really have.
TALIBAN CORPORATION
You have all the cows in Afghanistan, which are two. You don't
milk them because you cannot touch any creature's private parts.
You get a $40 million grant from the US government to find
alternatives to milk production but use the money to buy weapons.
IRAQI CORPORATION
You have two cows. They go into hiding. They send radio tapes of
their mooing.
POLISH CORPORATION
You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed
attempting to milk them.
BELGIAN CORPORATION
You have one cow. The cow is schizophrenic. Sometimes the cow
thinks he's French, other times he's Flemish. The Flemish cow
won't share with the French cow. The French cow wants control of
the Flemish cow's milk. The cow asks permission to be cut in
half. The cow dies happy.
FLORIDA CORPORATION
You have a black cow and a brown cow. Everyone votes for the best
looking one.
Some of the people who actually like the brown one best
accidentally vote for the black one. Some people vote for both.
Some people vote for neither. Some people can't figure out how to
vote at all. Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you
which one you think is the best-looking cow.
CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
You have millions of cows. They make real California cheese. Only
five speak English. Many are illegals. Arnold likes the ones with
the big udders.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Chelsea Watrous Cook,

Salt Lake City,
Utah
Utah Mom Lured Ex Out of Apartment Before
Murdering his current wife
Utah has never executed a woman or had a woman on death row, but
that could change after Sunday night's murder in suburban Salt
Lake City. Chelsea Watrous Cook, 32, has been charged with
aggravated murder in the shooting of Lisa Vilate Williams, 26,
and could face the death penalty, Deseret News reports. Police
say the teacher lured ex-husband Travis Cook out of his apartment
by saying she had cold medicine for one of their 3-year-twins,
reports the AP. Security camera footage captured her hiding in
the hallway as he walked out to the parking lot. Police say she
then sneaked into the apartment, where she ended up shooting
Williams, her ex-husband's new girlfriend, who had been making
Christmas tree ornaments with the twins.
Authorities say Travis Cook managed to get the gun away from his
ex-wife and pin her to a wall until police arrived. Williams'
mother and sister tell the AP that they feared for her safety
after Cook harassed her and bullied her online for months. Public
records state that Cook was charged with misdemeanor domestic
violence last month after arguing with her ex-husband when he
tried to pick up the twins. Court records state that she yelled
"disparaging comments" about Williams, who was not present, and
grabbed her ex-husband by the hair, causing him to tumble down
stairs. Cook, who worked as a health and yoga teacher at a Lehi
high school, is being held without bail.

Old buddies Father Mulhaney and Rabbi Silverman were having
their monthly breakfast. Father Mulhaney was enjoying his usual
bacon and eggs, while Rabbi Silverman was savoring his lox
and bagels .
Father Mulhaney asked, "Would you like to try a piece of bacon?
Lots of people eat bacon, and it is very tasty. Why don't
you try a piece?"
Rabbi Silverman replied, "You are quite right, my friend.
I think I will try some bacon."
"When?" asked the priest.
"At your wedding, of course," responded the rabbi.

Storing Dry Dog Food
If you have a large dog, store dog food in a plastic garbage
can or large tub. For smaller dogs, you can you use a small
plastic tub or one of those decorative tins that popcorn
comes in. Just empty the bag of dry food into the container
and keep a scoop in it.

announced that their prison quartet would be singing the
following evening.
I wasn't aware there was a prison in the vicinity and I looked

The next evening, I was puzzled when four members of the
church approached the stage. Then the pastor introduced them.
"This is our prison quartet," he said, "behind a few bars and
always looking for the key."

a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.
"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun,
gently patting his hand. "We do need to know, however,
how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you
covered by insurance?"
"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.
"Then can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.
"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."
"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun
questioned sternly.
"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But she's
a humble spinster nun."
"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not

Re: No Right Click
Dear Webby,
Although I disagree with most of your political & social
beliefs, your letter is really addictive and, hate to admit this,
but enjoy -- a lot. So, thanks. Before I go through an
elaborate process, any hints about what causes the right
button of a mouse to suddenly stop functioning? It worked
fine yesterday. Appreciate any advice.
Helene
Dear Helene
First go into Settings, Control Panel, Mouse, Buttons
and make sure that right clicking has not been turned off
by some left-wing liberal program.
If that is OK, shake and bash the mouse on the table.
Don't be too gentle, except with the mouse cord. Make sure
that there won't be any strain on the mouse cord during that.
If that does not help either, replace the mouse. They are
not made to last forever.
Have FUN!

A Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a Jewish
rabbi were discussing when life begins.
"Life begins," said the priest, "at the moment of
fertilization. That is when God instills the spark
of life into the fetus."
"We believe," said the minister, "that life begins at
birth, because that is when the baby becomes an
individual and is capable of making its own decisions
and must learn about sin."
"You're both wrong," said the rabbi. "Life begins
when the children have graduated from college
and moved out of the house."

Little Johnny thought about it and said, "You know,
come to think of it, we went to Acron, Ohio."

Be careful that your video and camcorder tapes are stored
away from electronics that have a magnetic field, like
stereo speakers and TV's. Store your tapes somewhere
dry and room temperature (60-70 F). Consider having

Father - Daughter Talk
A young woman was about to finish her first year of
college. Like so many others her age, she considered
herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other
liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes
to support more government programs; in other words,
redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather
staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed.
Based on the lectures that she had participated in,
and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt
that her father had for years harbored an evil,
selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day, she was challenging her father on his
opposition to higher taxes on the rich, and the need
for more government programs. The self-professed
objectivity proclaimed by her professor had to be the
truth, and she indicated so to her father.
He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she
had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to
maintain, insisting that she was taking a very
difficult course load and was constantly studying,
which left her no time to go out and party like other
people she knew. She didn't even have time for a
boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends
either because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened, then asked, "How is your friend
Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting
by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies,
and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on
campus; college for her is a blast. She's always
invited to all the parties, and lots of times she
doesn't even show up for classes because she's too
hung over."
Her father asked her, "Why don't you go to the Dean's
office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and
give it to your friend Audrey, who only has a 2.0?
That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and certainly
that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's
suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea!
How would that be fair? I've worked really hard for my
grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard
work. And she's done next to nothing toward her
degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"
The father slowly smiled and said gently, "Welcome to
the Republican Party."

A six-year-old ran up and down the supermarket aisles
shouting frantically, 'Marian, Marian!'
Finally reunited with his mother, he was chided by her,
'You shouldn't call me 'Marian.' I'm your mother, you know.'
'I know,' said the child, 'but the store is full of mothers.'

A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered

"Now, young man," asked the dentist, "what kind of filling

"Chocolate, please," replied the youngster.

A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday
afternoon when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl
coming from the other direction.
"Hello," said the little boy
"Hi," replied the little girl.
"Where are you going?" asked the little boy.
"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home,"
answered the little girl.
"I'm also on my way home from church. Which church do you go to?"
asked the little boy.
"I go to the Baptist church back down the road," replied the
little girl. "What about you?"
"I go to the Methodist church back at the top of the hill,"
replied the little boy.
They discover that they are both going the same way so they
decided that they'd walk together.
They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had
partially flooded the road, so there was no way that they could
get across to the other side without getting wet.
"If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going to skin me
alive," said the little girl.
"My Mom'll tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday suit wet,"
replied the little boy.
"I tell you what I think I'll do," said the little girl. "I'm
gonna pull off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade
across."
"That's a good idea,"replied the little boy. "I'm going to do the
same thing with my suit."
So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without
getting their clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun
waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on, when
the little boy finally remarked
"You know, I never realized before just how much difference there
really is between a Baptist and a Methodist!

Windi Thomas,

Pennsylvania
300-pound woman pleads guilty to fatally
attacking, crushing boyfriend
A woman has pleaded guilty to killing her boyfriend by stabbing
him, hitting him with a table leg and crushing him under the
weight of her roughly 300 pounds.
Windi Thomas, of Erie, faces a sentence of 18 to 36 years after
pleading guilty to third-degree murder. She had been scheduled
for trial next week, but instead will be sentenced on Dec. 21.
The 44-year-old Thomas admitted killing Keeno Butler last March,
partially by lying on top of him. Thomas weighs about 300 pounds,
while the 44-year-old Butler weighed about 120 pounds.
The Erie Times-News reports Thomas told investigators she had
been drinking throughout the day and left the apartment to
purchase crack cocaine. After she returned home, she was sitting
on the couch with a knife and, at one point, cut Butler's hand.
Thomas told police that Butler went to the kitchen and returned
with a table leg, which she took from him and used to hit him on
the head. As the two wrestled on the ground, Thomas said she was
able to pin Butler down. Thomas then called 911 and reported she
had killed someone.
Butler’s death was ruled a homicide “caused by respiratory
insufficiency secondary to blunt force trauma to the neck and
thoracic compression, exacerbated by blunt force trauma to the
head,” according to the affidavit.
Butler's sister said her family is still coping with her
brother's death and had been hoping for a longer prison sentence
for Thomas.
“I feel like she should have 40 or more,” Sandra Butler said.
“She deserved life.”

Re: Touch Pad
Dear Webby,
You told me once in the 90's to put a cardboard into
the touchpad depression. I did. And carefully moved it
to new machines every time a machine had to be replaced.
My cardboard is thin enough so that if I really whack it
with my thumb, it works like the Enter key.
Just light movement of the thumb does not affect it at all.
I am perfectly happy with your solution.
Thanks
Joan

A bishop discovered a tribe of Indians in the
Amazon who had never recorded a baptism, confirm-

situation by baptizing and confirming everyone.
He also married every couple that walked by and
desired such.
Later, the tribal chief told the Bishop the tribe
had never had so much fun. The bishop asked the
chief which part they enjoyed the most.
"The marriage service," the chief said, smiling.

next to two gray-haired men from the same symposium.
I overheard one remark, "You know, this is the first time in

His pal leaned back, contemplating what such freedom
might portend. "I know," he said, laying his menu aside.
"Let's have biscuits and gravy!"

Eat Half Your Entree
Restaurant serving sizes are often more than a person can
or should eat. Try this: as soon as the server sets down a
plate, divide your meal in half. Eat half at the restaurant and
take the other half home to eat for lunch the following day.

Denny's Restaurants tend to get carried
away a bit, in some
towns. Here is a picture of my dad when I took him into Dennys
for a well deserved Banana Split in Barstow one year. We had been
driving and running through the desert all day, taking pictures
of cacti, but that was too much.
Dennys also used to get quite carried away with their Chef Salad.
You can eat one normal portion and have enough left over to
take home for side salads for four people the next day.

A missionary recruit goes to Venezuela for the first time,
struggling with the language. He visits one of the local churches
and sits in the front row.
So as not to make a fool of himself, he decides to pick someone
out of the crowd to imitate. He decides to follow the man sitting
next to him in the front pew. As they sing, the man claps his
hands, so the missionary recruit claps, too. When the man stands
up to pray, the missionary recruit stands up, too. When the man
sits down, the missionary sits down.
Later in the service, the man next to him stands up again, so the
missionary stands up, too.
Suddenly a hush falls over the entire congregation. A few people
gasp.
The missionary looks around and sees that no one else is
standing. So he sits down.
After the service ends, the missionary recruit greets the
preacher. "I take it you don't speak Spanish," the preacher says.
The missionary replies, "No, I don't. Is it that obvious?"
"Well yes," the preacher says. "I announced that the Acosta
family had a new-born baby boy, and I asked the proud father to

Good Morning, !
Today is Wednesday, December 5
Where I grew up in Austria, December 5 was the day Santa
came by, and read the kids the riot act about their behavior
during the year.
Because of my frequently not so exemplary behavior, I was often
threatened with getting sent to Jagdberg, an ancient castle
converted to a juvenile jail and reform school. Well, I never
quite got sent there.
When I was 18 a college professor volunteered me to go play Santa
at Jagdberg. Beside stage fright, there was the fear they would
lock me up there, but I dressed up in the supplied garments,
hopped on my motorcycle and roared up there.
At Jagdberg they gave me a glass of Cherry Water Schnapps to calm
my nerves, and for each classroom a stack of papers. I called the
name on the top sheet, and read that kid's sins, then gave him or
her a paper bag filled with goodies.
Probably thanks to the Schnapps by the time I got to the second
classroom, I got right into my act and really lit into the little
twerps.
I think they had about 16 classrooms, but by the time I was done
with them all, I was sorry it was already finished.
They gave me a couple of very tasty salami sandwiches and a
coffee, and I left.
On the way back I stopped at the place where my gtirlfriend
stayed, a dormitory attached to the hospital nunnery. She tossed
the key down when she heard my bike, and I silently crept up the
stone steps to her floor and her room.
Well some other girl was lurking and so I had to play Santa for
her too. I only had a small bag of goodies for my girlfriend, so
the lurker just got a hug and a kiss and a grope from Santa. She
was happy.
And shortly after that, my girlfriend was made happy by Santa
himself.
The sky was just beginning to lighten in the East when I finally
rode my bike home.
Have FUN!

Blair Springfield,
28,
Milwaukee County,
Wisconsin
Mom charged after OWI arrest led to
4-year-old being found alone in tow lot
pleads not guilty
A 28-year-old Milwaukee mother whose OWI arrest led to her 4-
year-old daughter being found alone in a van in the city tow lot
hours later has been ordered to stand trial. On Tuesday, Nov. 27
Blair Springfield waived her right to a preliminary hearing, and
pleaded not guilty.
Springfield faces 10 charges:
- OWI, first offense, with a passenger under the age of
16
- Neglecting a child (harm did not occur and child under 6
years or disability)
- Neglecting a child (specified harm did not occur)
- Neglecting a child (harm did not occur and child under 6
years or disability)
- Neglecting a child (harm did not occur and child under 6
years or disability)
- Neglecting a child (harm did not occur and child under 6
years or disability)
- OWI, first offense with a passenger under the age of
16
- Neglecting a child (harm did not occur and child under 6
years or disability
- Neglecting a child (harm did not occur and child under 6
years or disability
- Operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration with a
passenger under the age of 16
Springfield pleaded not guilty to three of the charges on
Saturday, Nov. 17, when she appeared in court for the first time
— Count 1, Count 3, Count 7 and Count 10. Cash bond was set at
$1,500.
Springfield was taken into custody near 39th and Forest Home on
Nov. 12, after prosecutors said she passed out behind the wheel
of a minivan.
She was not charged in that case.
Her adult passenger and baby were removed from the vehicle, but
the 4-year-old was left in the back seat. Prosecutors said the
child was not mentioned by her mother and also missed by
officers.
The incident happened just weeks after prosecutors said
Springfield passed out in a McDonald's drive-thru with children
and bottles of vodka in the car.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Davis ordered the
latest case go to trial during Springfield's court hearing on
Tuesday.
If convicted, Springfield could gain more time behind bars. She
could also lose the children.
The Milwaukee Police Department has not yet released squad or
body camera footage from Nov. 12, the night Springfield was
arrested.
Springfield's next court appearance has been scheduled for Dec.
5.

The mouse arrow taking off is usually not due to a program
setting, but to your thumb on the silly touch pad on the laptop.
Since you have a mouse anyway, just cut a piece of cardboard to
just fit the touch pad level with the keyboard area. Problem
solved instantly.

A man had a terrible passion for baked beans, but they
always had a somewhat lively effect on him. After he
met the woman of his dreams, he made the supreme
sacrifice and gave them up; he couldn't imagine
subjecting his new wife to his beastly emissions. On
his birthday, his car broke down, so he called his wife
and told her he'd have to walk home. He walked past a
cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans overwhelmed
him. Since he was still a couple of miles from home, he
figured he could indulge, and then walk off any ill
effects. So he had three extra-large helpings of beans,
and he "put-putted" all the way home.
His wife met him at the door and seemed somewhat
excited. She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most
wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!"
She blindfolded him, and led him to his chair at the
head of the table, making him promise not to peek. At
this point, he was beginning to feel another one coming
on. Just as she was about to remove the blindfold, the
telephone rang and she went to answer it.
While she was gone, he seized the opportunity. He
shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was not
only loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He gasped and felt
for his napkin and fanned the air about him. He had
just started to feel better, when another urge came on.
This one sounded like a diesel engine revving, and
smelled worse. He tried flapping his arms, to clear the
air. But another one snuck out, and the windows
rattled, the dishes on the table shook, and a minute
later, the flowers on the table were dead.
When he heard his wife ending her conversation, he
neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands
on top of it. He was the picture of innocence when she
walked in.
Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if he had
peeked at the dinner. He assured her he had not, so she
removed the blindfold and yelled, "Surprise!!!"
To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner
guests seated around the table for his surprise
birthday party. Two were dead, ten were dyiing.

My five children and I were playing hide-and-seek
one evening. With the lights turned off in the house,
the kids scattered to hide, and I was "it."
After a few minutes I located all of them. When it was
my turn to hide, they searched high and low but couldn't
find me.
Finally one of my sons got a bright idea. He went to
the phone and dialed; they found me immediately
because my phone started beeping.

At the banquet of their 25th wedding anniversary, Tom was
asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of
a marriage of such long duration.
"Tell us, Tom, just what is it you have learned from all
those wonderful years with your wife?"
Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best
teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness,
self-restraint, forgiveness and a great many other qualities
you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed single!"

Quietly filling the bathtub with champagne, he called her into

tub by candlelight.
When they were finished, Billy-Bob decided he couldn't let
all that expensive champagne go to waste, so he carefully
poured it back into the empty bottles.
However, when he was finished, he found he had nearly a
half-bottle too much.

When you're hospitalized, it pays to be nice to your
nurse, even when you're feeling miserable. A bossy
businessman learned this the hard way after ordering
his nurses around as if they were his employees. But
the head nurse stood up to him. One morning she entered
his room and announced, "I have to take your
temperature."
After complaining for several minutes, he finally
settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
"No, I'm sorry," the nurse stated," but for this
reading, I can't use an oral thermometer."
This started another round of complaining, but eventually
he rolled over and bared his bottom. After feeling the nurse
insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, "I have
to get something. Now you stay just like that until I
get back!"
She left the door to his room open on her way out, and he
cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past
his door laughing. After almost an hour, the man's
doctor came into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor. Angrily, the
man answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever
seen someone having their temperature taken?"
"Yes," said the doctor. "But never with a carnation."

Soon after I retired from the Air Force, I went to work in a
warehouse where several other military retirees were employed.
One day we received a large crate too big to fit in our storage
area. A retired Army sergeant major immediately took charge.
After 45 minutes of rearranging items and using various lifting
devices, he finally got the crate in place. "And that's how the
Army gets things done!" he boasted.
"That's the Army way," said an Air Force retiree. "The Air Force
would have made the delivery person put the crate away and
gone for coffee."

Thanks to Martin for returning this classic:
A Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters,
he asks St. Peter, 'I have a question that's haunted me all
of my days on earth. Am I white with black stripes, or am
I black with white stripes?'
St. Peter said, 'That's a question only God can answer.'
So the zebra went off in search of God.
When he found Him, the zebra asked, 'God, please - I must
know. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with
white stripes?'
God simply replied 'You are what you are.'
The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked
him, 'Well, did God straighten out your query for you?'
The zebra looked puzzled. 'No sir, God simply said 'You are
what you are.''
St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, 'Well then, there
you are. You are white with black stripes.'
The zebra asked St. Peter, 'How do you know that for certain?'
'Because,' said St. Peter, 'If you were black with white stripes,
God would have said, 'You is what you is.''

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from

father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say

British man who was part of a paedophile ring has been found
guilty of plotting to rape a seven-month-old baby.
Mathew Law, 50, is the eighth person to be convicted as part of

two week trial at Bristol Crown Court. He first came into contact
with the paedophile ring, who communicated using anonymous

Knight, 38, was jailed for 24 years in 2015 after being convicted
of rape of a child under 13, conspiracy to rape a child under 13,
sexual assault of a child under 13 and possessing indecent images
of children. Law pleaded guilty to conspiring to rape a child
under the age of 13 and has been remanded into custody to be

to be jailed since this investigation began in 2014,’ Luke
Phillips from the NCA said.

The Highways employee said, "Listen mister, I have the authority
of the State of Minnesota to go where I want.
See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on farm
land."
So the old farmer went over, sat down and picked up his
newpaper.
Later, he heard loud screams and saw the Department of
Highways employee running for the fence and close behind
was the farmer's prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest
full of hornets and the bull was gaining on the Highways
employee at every step.
The old farmer called out, "Show him your card, smartass!"

She told him 'Every time I
Take any of my friends out in my car,

This intrigued the mechanic, so he said,
'OK, lets go for a spin
And see what the problem is.' Off they went.
She drove down a one-way street in the wrong direction
At 70 MPH, swerving,
Hitting the curb on both sides of the street,
Narrowly missed three pedestrians in
Pedestrian crossings,
Ran several red lights,
And just missed a
Policeman on street traffic duty.
Then, they returned to the shop, and she said,
'There it is now...
there's that terrible smell! Can you smell it?'
'Smell it?

Milwaukee woman, 18, facing 2nd DUI charge
after leading deputies on 100 mph chase
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office tells FOX6 News an 18-year-
old Milwaukee woman was arrested for her second OWI offense early
Tuesday morning, Nov. 27. Officials say Marissa Lucero led
deputies on a chase reaching speeds of 100 mph.
According to the sheriff's office, just after midnight deputies
tracked a vehicle traveling on I-43 going 71 in a 50 mph zone.
Authorities attempted to stop the vehicle, but it did not stop. A
chase ensued and officials say the fleeing driver reached speeds
in excess of 100 mph and veered through traffic.
After exiting at Capitol Drive, officials say the vehicle struck
a curb and damaged a front tire and axle. It came to a stop on a
median near Messmer High School.
The chase wasn't over. Lucero can be seen making a run for it
just as backup arrives. Law enforcement can be seen giving chase.
Lucero was captured by deputies and arrested.
While leading Lucero back to the squad car, emotions took over.
Lucero can be heard screaming for her mother over and over.
Deputies found a half bottle of vodka on the front passenger
floor of the vehicle she crashed.
Two deputies received minor injuries in the chase.
The sheriff's office says this is Lucero's second OWI offense --
with a previous arrest in May of this year. Lucero was not
allowed to be behind the wheel due to the previous conviction.
According to the sheriff's office, Lucero faces felony charges of
Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude an Officer, 2nd Degree Recklessly
Endangering Safety, and Resisting/Obstructing an Officer-Causing
Soft Tissue Injury. Lucero will also receive a misdemeanor charge
of Operating After Revocation-OWI-related, citations for
speeding, and Refuse to Submit to Intox/Blood.
If convicted on all charges, Lucero faces up to 20 years and nine
months in prison.
Lucero's bail has been set at over $6,000, so that she can afford
to have another dingbat malfunction by the time she goes to
court.

Re: My own web site
Dear Webby,
You advertise web space from $2.50 up. I can get web space
for free from my ISP, but their support is somewhere in Asia
and anything but helpful. They just deal with complaints and
don't volunteer any useful information. For design they charge
a ridiculous amount that obviously is just intended to totally
discourage that avenue.
I would imagine that the design costs extra even with your
set-up. What would be a reasonable guess for a small business
site?
George
Dear George
That depends entirely on how much information you can provide.
Actual design is cheap, because we are good and fast with it.
However, interrogation to drag the information out of you,
about what you might want on your site, that is $150 / hour.
If you gather the information together and put it into an email,
attach the pictures you want on the site and describe what
you want to accomplish, then the design will be $50.
We will set it up with re-usable blocks like headers, side-menu,
footers, etc. and easy to update content blocks.
For a consistent corporate look and feel you can clone any
page and just use a different content block, and we show you
how to do that.
With our system, the only difficult part is the getting around
to getting started gathering your info.

Florida Woman Arrested After Gas Attack
At Dollar General
A knife-wielding woman threatened to gut a fellow Dollar
General shopper after the victim complained in reference to the

police charge.
Shanetta Wilson, 37, got into an argument Sunday evening after a
male customer commented negatively about her passing gas,
according to investigators who responded to the store in Dania

As alleged in a complant affidavit, Wilson removed a small knife
from her purse, opened the weapon, and told the victim she was
going to 'gut' him. When Wilson pulled her hand back as if
preparing to attack, victim John Walker, 55, was in fear that he
was going to be stabbed by the defendant.
Wilson, who lives in Dania Beach, was subsequently arrested on a
felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without
intent to kill. She was booked into the Broward County jail,
where she is being held in lieu of $2500 bond.

have to make French toast with the injured items.
He looked properly repentant until his mother walked off.

Florida
Florida Woman Battered Man Over Rejection
A Florida Woman battered her boyfriend after he “said no and went
back to bed” after she “grabbed his genitals wanting to have sex”
on Thanksgiving night, cops say.
Rebecca Lynn Phelps, 31, was arrested for domestic battery
following a confrontation in the Tampa-area home she shares with
the victim and the couple’s child.
Phelps’s arrest was the second time in 14 months that she was
busted for allegedly battering a man who did not want to have sex
with her, records show.
Investigators allege that the victim, 25, was sleeping late
Thursday night when Phelps entered their bedroom seeking to have
sex. After Phelps groped her partner’s private parts, the “victim
said no and went back to sleep,” according to a criminal
complaint.
Phelps subsequently returned to the bedroom and started “tapping”
the man’s leg. “The victim pretended to be asleep to ignore the
defendant who was intoxicated,” cops noted.
Phelps then allegedly “scratched the victim on his left eye
causing it to swell and turn black and blue.” Phelps, who told
cops she did not touch the victim, was arrested on a misdemeanor
domestic battery charge. She was released yesterday morning from
the county jail after posting $100 bond.
A judge has ordered Phelps to have no contact with the victim.
In September 2017, Phelps was arrested after allegedly getting
mad at a man “because he did not want to have sexual relations
with her.” Phelps screamed at the victim and smacked him “so hard
on the right side of his face it left redness on his face.” She
also allegedly scratched the man’s arm, causing it to bleed.
Prosecutors subsequently declined to pursue the case against
Phelps. It is unclear whether the victim in the 2017 matter is

A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the
zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials
put up a ten-foot fence. He was out the next morning,
just roaming around the zoo.
A twenty-foot fence was put up. Again he got out.
When the fence was forty feet high, a camel in the
next enclosure asked the kangaroo,
"How high do you think they'll go?"
The kangaroo said, "About a hundred and fifty feet,
unless somebody starts locking the gate at night."

A famous art collector is walking through the city
when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a
saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a
double take. He recognizes that the saucer is
extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually
into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The store owner replies "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for
sale."
The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat
around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty
dollars for that cat."
And the owner says, "Sold," and hands over the cat.
The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I
wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The
cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a

And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky
saucer. So far this week, I've sold sixty-eight stray

Florida gamer left microphone on
during sex assault
Another PlayStation gamer overheard the attack.
A Florida teen took a break from his game of Grand Theft Auto to
rape an underage girl, police say. Daniel Enrique Fabian, 18,
allegedly told another player on an online multiplayer network
that he was leaving the game for a few minutes to "smash" the 15-
year-old girl, the Miami Herald reports. The other player told
police that Fabian left his microphone on and he overheard the
entire attack, with the distressed girl yelling "No." It's not
clear whether the other gamer on the PlayStation network was the
one who reported Fabian to police, WFLA reports. The other gamer
says Fabian returned to the game after about 15 minutes.
Fabian, a New Port Richey resident, was arrested last week and
charged with lewd and lascivious battery on a victim between the
age of 12 and 15. Police say that during the attack overheard by
the other gamers, he covered the girl's mouth and held her down
as she repeatedly tried to get away. Police say DNA from the
victim linked Fabian to the rape. The Pasco County Sheriff's
Office says Fabian, who is being held on $30,000 bond, was
arrested in June for allegedly raping another 15-year-old girl at
his home.

Re: Best Back-Up
Dear Webby,
I know you once wrote about what the best method is to back up
your hard drive. Unfortunately at that time I didn't have
anything
worth backing up and did not pay attention. Sorry 'bout that!
I'm sure there are others with the same predicament. Can you
please tell us again?
Thanks
Kenneth
Dear Kenneth
The fastest, and worst, method is to back up onto a different
drive in the same machine. A fire or a burglary will make you
wonder why you backed up your important business data.
The best method is to back up to somewhere else. I back up
onto the web.
You can even back up onto DropBox.
Second best is to back up onto a portable USB drive. You can
get 2 TB portable drives now about the size of a package of
cigarettes. They easily fit into a pocket or purse. You can also
get cases for them and just stuff a drive into them yourself.
You can also encrypt the data on the back-up drive.
With that method you simply take that portable drive with
you and throw it into the glove box of your car or keep it in a
pocket or purse. No matter what happens to the office or the
computer, your business is still safe and ready to be restored
onto a replacement machine.
CD's work too, but that is a relatively slow and cumbersome
method and therefore usually does not get done.
You have to chose a strategy that is simple enough and easy
enough. Only then will it get done regularly and become a
good habit.
Have FUN!

As in many homes my wife and I faced the annual conflict
of which was more important - the football games on television,
or the dinner itself. To keep peace, I ate dinner with the rest
of the family, and even lingered for some pleasant after-dinner
conversation before retiring to the family room to turn on the
game.
Several minutes later, my wife came downstairs and
graciously even bought a cold beer for me with her. She
smiled, kissed me on the cheek and asked what the
score was. I told her it was the end of the third quarter
and that the score was still nothing to nothing.
"See?" she said, continuing to smile,
"You didn't miss a thing."

Late Buying Christmas and Other Gifts
After Christmas is also a good time to buy gifts. Any item
such as gift sets or baking equipment can be gifted
the following year or during the year as birthday
presents. Just remember that just because it
doesn't cost much doesn't mean it's a good deal.
Some of the things leftover are leftover because
they weren't salable at regular price so pick carefully.

German scientists dug 50 meters underground and discovered
small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a
long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000
years ago had a nation-wide telephone network.
Naturally, the British government was not that easily
impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even
deeper. 100 meters down, they found small pieces of glass and
they soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago
already had a nationwide fiber network.
Irish scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters
underground, but found absolutely nothing. They concluded
that the ancient Irish 55,000 years ago obviously must have
used cellphones.

Richard Omar Knight, 35,
Mebane, Orange County,
North Carolina
Principal accused of raping
12-year-old student found dead
A North Carolina charter school principal accused of raping a 12-
year-old student on campus was found dead of an apparent self-
inflicted injury, The News & Observer reported, citing a police
report.
Authorities in Orange County found Richard Omar Knight, 35, in a
wooded area near Mebane on Friday, WRAL reported. Two hunters
found his body and called 911, the Orange County Sheriff's Office
said in a news release. Police said no foul play was suspected,
the television station reported.
Knight, 35, was the principal at Dillard Academy until he was
charged Friday with raping a 12-year-old student on campus.
Goldsboro police announced Knight's death Monday afternoon, but
said the investigation into his alleged crimes would continue,
WRAL reported.
Goldsboro police learned of the student's allegations Thursday
and obtained a warrant Friday, charging Knight with statutory
rape, a sex act and indecent liberties with a female at Dillard

Re: SBCglobal downtime
Dear Webby
Just a curiosity question. Denise has SBCglobal.net email
and it had been down the last few Christmases. I was guessing
overload due to so many Holiday e-cards being delivered/read,
etc. Her email is back up right now (her work address never went
down). Just wondering if my guess could have been correct,
or if it might have been some other problem.
Thanks
Jerry
Dear Jerry
SBCglobal is part of Yahoo.
Their UNreliability is quite predictable.
Yes, of course their mail went down every Christmas,
and Valentines and Mothers Day.
If she wants reliable email, she should get a gmail address.
Gmail is free, and has become the most popular email system in
the world.

The census taker knocked on Donna's door. She answered all
his questions except one. She refused to tell him her age.
"But everyone tells their age to the census taker,"
he said.
"Did Miss Maisy Hill, and Miss Daisy Hill tell you their ages?"
she asked.
"Certainly," he replied "Well, I'm the same age as they are," she
snapped.
"As old as the Hills," he intoned as he wrote on his form.

A woman's husband dies and she has only $20,000 to her name.
After everything is done at the funeral home and cemetery, she
tells her closest friend that she has no money left. The friend
says, "How can that be? You told me you still had $20,000 left
just a few days before your husband died.
How could you be broke?"
The widow says, "Well, the funeral home cost me $5,000. And of
course, I had to make the obligatory donation to the temple, so
that was another $5,000. The rest went for the memorial stone."
The friend says, "$10,000 for the memorial stone? My goodness,
how big was it?"
Extending her left hand, the widow says, "Three carats."

but don't have a receipt, you will want to do it within a

Floriduh girl, 2, ‘screamed and cried while
being raped by dad for dark web video’
A two year-old girl ‘screamed and cried’ while being raped by her
father in an eight minute video he uploaded to the dark web,
police say. Horrifying details of the abuse the toddler allegedly
suffered at the hands of her father James Lockhart were outlined
as it was revealed he faces the death penalty if convicted of the
abuse. A criminal complaint seen by WFLA explained: ‘The video
documents the rape.
‘The toddler continues to scream and cry.’ According to the Miami
Herald, Lockhart, 30, also made posts on securely encrypted web
pages detailing his sexual experiences with a young girl and boy,
while asking for suggestions of things he could do and promising
future updates.
Homeland Security officers traced Lockhart to his home through
instant messaging service Kik on October 5. They showed the
alleged pedophile’s wife clips with the little girl’s face
blurred out. She is said to have instantly recognized her
daughter, her husband’s hand, their couch and the girl’s stuffed
animal toy, an indictment claims.
Further analysis proved that the hand in the video matched
Lockhart’s, with handwriting analysis further showing that the
father’s script matched a handwritten sign seen on-screen. The
girl alleged to have been abused and her twin brother were taken
into custody on the day of their father’s arrest. An indictment
seen by the Herald explained that Lockhart was initially
investigated by Boston-based agents trying to track down the
people behind child abuse clips. The suspect is said to have
made other postings under the name HardWood. Manatee County
Sheriff’s Office say Lockhart is facing numerous charges,
including capital sexual battery – meaning he could be put to
death if convicted.

The right side of a boat was called the starboard side due to
the fact that the astro-navigators used to stand out on a plank
(which was on the right side) to get an unobstructed view of
the stars. The left side was called the port side, because that
was the side that they put toward the dock when they pulled
into port. This was so they didn't knock off the starboard.
Actually, it goes back a lot further than that.
In the days before personal firearms, ships had a stair going
upstairs to where the captain and the officers were. That stair
was always on the right side.
Access to the stair was through a tunnel from the port side,
forcing any pirates or enemies to attack in single file before
getting to the stair.
Later, when they got canons, those were always on the port side,
never on the stair side. The powder was usually stored downstairs
on the stair side, because a shot into the powder magazine
usually sunk the ship.
Good old days!

"This", he explained, "is urine.
To be a doctor, you have to be observant to color,

After saying this, he dipped a finger into the jar and put
it into his mouth. His class watched on in amazement,
most, in disgust. But being the good students that they
were, the jar was passed, and one by one, they dipped
one finger into the jar and then put it into their mouth.
After the last student was done, the lecturer shook his head.
"If any of you had been observant, you would have noticed
that I put my 2nd finger in to the jar and my 3rd finger into

At the airport for a trip, I settled down to wait for the
boarding announcement at Gate B35.
Then I heard the voice on the public address system saying,
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Delta Flight 570
will board from Gate E41."
So my family picked up our luggage and carried it over to
Gate E41. Not ten minutes later the public address voice told
us that Flight 570 would in fact be boarding from Gate B35.
So again we gathered our carry-on luggage and returned to
the original gate.
Just as we were settling down, the public address voice
spoke again:
"Thank you for participating in Delta's physical fitness

Dear Larry
Neither Incredimail nor Thunderbird are email PROVIDERS.
They are email programs. You still need an email provider, either
your local ISP or Gmail or AOL or any outfit like that.
Once you have signed up with an email provider, then you can
choose which email program you want to use.
If you travel a lot, choose Gmail as your provider. It works from
anywhere in the world.
Once you have a decent provider, then you can select the email
program.
You can definitely choose Incredimail, even though you will annoy
the recipients with the goofy attachments.
Gmail is very popular, and you can set it to be POP mail. Then
you can handle it with anything from Eudora to Thunderbird.
I still use Eudora. It works reliably. No problem since 1993.
If you keep your mail boxes trimmed down, you can even use
Outlook. Just don't allow them to get too large, or it will
suicide and take all your mails with it.

gave the man a list of ten people who hadn't been in church for
years nor made any financial contribution. Some of these were
quite prominent in the community.
The pastor said, "What I want you to do is get these people back
to church, however you can. You can use church stationery if
you want, but get these people back to church."
Three weeks later the pastor got an envelope in the mail from a
prominent doctor whose name had been on the list, along with a
check for $1,000 and a note that read, "Dear Pastor, Please
excuse my inactivity at church. I really have no excuse.Â
Accept this check as a partial contribution for all the Sundays
I've missed, and be assured I will never, by choice, miss worship
again.
Sincerely, J. B. Jones, M.D.
P.S. - Will you kindly tell your secretary that there is only
one "t" in dirty and no "c" in skunk?"

Classic from the Clinton era
To: All staff, Los Alamos National Laboratory
From: Bill Richardson, Secretary of Energy
Dear staff members:
Due to an unfortunate and silly overreaction by the Republicans
in Congress to our minor difficulties in the security area, we're
being forced to tighten up just a bit.
Effective Monday:
1. The brown paper bag in which we store the computer disk drives
that contain the nation's nuclear secrets will no longer be left
on the picnic table at the staff commissary during lunch hour. It
will be stored in "the vault." I know this is an inconvenience to
many of you, but it's a sad sign of the times.
2. The three-letter security code for accessing "the vault" will
no longer be "B-O-B." To confuse would-be spies, that security
code will be reversed. Please don't tell anybody.
3. Visiting scientists and graduate students from Libya, North
Korea and mainland China will no longer be allowed to wander the
hallways without proper identification. Beginning Monday, they
will be required to wear a stick-on lapel tag that clearly
states, "Hello, My Name Is . . .." The stickers will be available
at the front desk.
4. The computer network used for scientific calculations will no
longer be hyper linked via the Internet to such Web sites as
www.moammar.com, www.swedechicks.com, or www.hackers-r-us.com.
Links to all Disney sites will be maintained, however.
5. Researchers bearing a security clearance of Level 5 and higher
will no longer be permitted to exchange updates on their work by
posting advanced-physics formulas on the men's room walls.
6. On "Bowling Night," please check your briefcases and laptop
computers at the front counter of the Bowl-a-Drome instead of
leaving them in the cloakroom. Mr. Badonov, the front-counter
supervisor, has promised to "keep un eye on zem" for us.
7. Staff members will no longer be allowed to take home small
amounts of plutonium, iridium or uranium for use in those "little
weekend projects around the house." That includes you parents who
are helping the kids with their science fair projects.
8. Thermonuclear devices may no longer be checked out for
"recreational use." We've not yet decided if exceptions will be
made for Halloween, the Fourth of July or New Year's Eve. We'll
keep you posted.
9. Employees may no longer "borrow" the AA batteries from the
burglar alarm system to power their Game Boys and compact-disc
players during working hours.
10. And, finally, when reporting for work each day, all employees
must enter through the front door. Raoul, the janitor, will no
longer admit employees who tap three times on the side door to
avoid clocking in late. I know this crackdown might seem punitive
and oppressive to many of you, but it is our sworn duty to
protect the valuable national secrets that have been entrusted to
our care.
Remember: Security isn't a part-time job-it's an imperative, all
37 1/2 hours of the week!

Shaurice Jones, 36,
Bath, a Lehigh Valley borough.
Pennsylvania
Mother drove two miles to police station
with son, 12, on auto's hood
A Pennsylvania mother drove two miles with her 12-year-son on the
hood of her car, according to police who yesterday arrested the
woman on a pair of endangerment charges.
As alleged in a criminal complaint, Shaurice Jones and her son
quarreled last week when she drove the boy to a local dentist.
The child, cops say, refused to go into the office. Instead, he
climbed atop his mother’s automobile.
Jones, 36, responded to her son’s protest by getting into her car
and driving two miles to a police precinct. The speed limit on
the road Jones traveled is 40 mph.
Upon arriving at the Colonial Regional Police Department, Jones
admitted to officers that she had been driving with her son on
the vehicle’s hood. It appears Jones went to the precinct in the
hopes that cops would mediate the family dental dispute.
Pictured above, Jones has been charged with endangering the
welfare of a child, a felony, and reckless endangerment, a
misdemeanor. She was freed from custody after posting $1000 bail
and is next due in court on December 4 for a preliminary hearing.
Jones lives in Bath, a Lehigh Valley borough.
That is the last time she will ever ask the police for help!

Re: Filters not working
Dear Webby
I have made filters to filter out spam that has all the common
terms used by spammers. Yet more and more spams that has
exactly those words in the subject line gets through anyway.
The filters work some of the time but not at other times.
Is that MailWasher's fault or what's going on ?
Derrick
Dear Derrick
If you look into the header of those spams you will see some
weird gobbledigook in the spot where plain words are showing
if you read it with MailWasher or an email program.
The gobbledigook is just the character codes in a different font.
It is normally preceded with some stuff that contains:
=?ISO-
Just make a filter that looks for "=?ISO-" in the entire header.
I catch about a dozen spams a day with that filter, and I have
never seen a legitimate mail that had that combination of
characters in the header.

The Palestinian Authority pays a salary for terrorists, who have

What DACA pays to criminals freed by Sanctuary states is well

DACA recipient “Luis Cobos-Cenobio, 29, an illegal immigrant,
faces charges of terrorism and attempted capital murder after a
shooting spree that saw him open fire [on] police during two
separate confrontations as he tried to escape a routine traffic
stop last week.
A href="https://youtu.be/xzODIKkp-d0">Vido of attack
According to ICE officials, Cobos-Cenobio was part of DACA, a
controversial amnesty program pushed by former President Obama
and many Democrats.
“Mr. Cobos-Cenobio had at least two previous arrests, officials
said, including one misdemeanor charge in 2015 that brought him
to ICE’s attention. But the Obama administration, which was in
office at the time, concluded he wasn’t a danger, and declined to
pursue deportation,” The Times continued.

My mother and I returned to my parents' house late one evening
to find my father, my college-age brother, Steven, and my
ten-year-old sister fast asleep.
Mom had forgotten her house keys, so we knocked loudly, first
at the back door and then the front and side doors. We yelled
my father's name over and over, with no answer. The car horn
aroused the neighbors but no one at our house.
We drove into town and phoned home, finally waking Steven.
When we got back, he let us in. Dad was in bed, snoring,
with the television on. Mom quietly switched it off.
Dad woke right up.

Port Richey,
Florida
Florida Driver's Blood Alcohol Content
Was More Than 8X Legal Limit
A Florida motorist’s blood alcohol content was more than eight
times the legal limit when he was arrested yesterday for
careening across the road, hitting two guardrails, and nearly
striking other vehicles, cops report.
Ricardo Portillo-Gonzalez, 50, was pulled over Sunday afternoon
by a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office corporal after police
issued multiple be-on-the-lookout warnings after receiving
witness reports about a dangerous driver.
When Portillo-Gonzalez was contacted, a cop noted that he smelled
of booze, had bloodshot, glassy eyes, and was unsteady on his
feet. A subsequent breathalyzer test registered Portillo-
Gonzalez’s blood alcohol content at .66 (the legal limit is .08).
A second test recorded the suspect’s BAC at .64.
Seen above, Portillo-Gonzalez was arrested for drunk driving and
booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor charge. The El
Salvador native, who works for a lawn care company, was released
from custody early this morning after posting $500 bond (and
sobering up).
Portillo-Gonzalez, who lives in Port Richey, a Tampa suburb, is
scheduled for a December 10 court appearance.

Browning Flour for Gravy
The key to having appealing looking brown gravy, rather
than pale gravy, is to brown the flour you use to thicken
the gravy. Brown the flour in a skillet before adding liquid.
Be sure to keep the heat low so it doesn't burn.
For really fine gourmet gravy first gently sautee finely
chopped onions with a bit of butter until they are about
hazelnut brown.
Do NOT go check your email during that, or else the
onions will get black and bitter corners. When they are
evenly browned, sprinkle some flour over them and stir
until it too is evenly browned.
Then stand back and with a longhandled ladle pour a ladle
full water into the frying pan. The miniature steam explosion
will tear apart any flour balls and you will get a smooth and
delicious gravy. Add salt and pepper and whatever herbs
and spices are called for, and let it simmer for a while.
You can enhance the flavor by sprinkling some Hungarian
paprika over the onions before you sprinkle the flour. It
needs the hot butter to unlock it's flavor.
Enjoy!

Dominick Smith, 33,

Babysitter broke sobbing toddler’s bones
then dumped him near a hospital to die
A babysitter broke a two year-old boy’s bones because he would
not stop crying before dumping him at a hospital to die. Dominick
Smith, 33, was sentenced to life in prison last Friday for
shaking, hitting, dropping and whipping King Owens, leaving the
youngster with broken ribs and a skull fracture. Smith, who was
cleared of murder but convicted of child neglect, also gave the
toddler half a bottle of powerful sleep-aid NyQuil in a bid to
get him to sleep.
Two year-old King Owens was battered to death by babysitter
Dominick Smith because he wouldn’t stop crying. She was sentenced
to life in prison Friday
Smith’s boyfriend Johnny Jones is serving 40 years in jail after
being convicted of the same crime earlier this year. And King’s
mom Keyshawn Brown, who had enjoyed a lengthy friendship with her
son’s killers, will stand trial on identical charges next April,

During Smith’s trial, her defense attorney tried to claim Jones
was behind the appalling catalog of abuse suffered by King. But
jurors agreed with prosection claims that the babysitter, who
began caring for King three weeks before his death, was behind
the violence. In her closing argument, prosecutor Andrea Brown
said: ‘Can you imagine watching that baby suffer for even a
minute and not do something about it?’

Dear Len
Absolutely no problem. Just open it up and let it warm up
for a few minutes before turning it on, and it will be fine.
Any condensation it attracts while warming up, will be
baked out of it in the first half hour.
Computers can handle the cold a lot easier than heat,
and the most fragile part is the keyboard. Get yourself a
cheap but comfortable 16" - 17" keyboard and stick it into
your laptop case. The laptop will last longer, and so will

If you still smell your perfume after a half hour, you
likely are wearing too much. Try this: spray it in
front of you and then walk through the spray. To
remove excess perfume, make a paste of water
and baking soda and rub it where you applied the
perfume, then rinse off.

John was tasked with bringing the Christmas decorations up
from the basement and start decorating the house and tree.
During one trek up the stairs, heavily laden with boxes, he
slipped and luckily only fell about two steps before landing
square on his behind.
His wife heard the noise and yelled, "What was that thump?"
"I just fell down the stairs," he explained.
She rushed into the room, "Anything broken?!"
"No, no, I'm fine."
There was just a slight pause before his loving wife said,
"No, I meant my decorations? Are any of them broken?"

"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!"

Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head.
His grandmother knelt down next to him.
"I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always

"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why just name me one

Florida
Elderly Florida woman takes meth
to her doctor for testing
Barbara Lee Ray is being charged on two counts of possession of
methamphetamine together with two counts of possession of drug
paraphernalia after an encounter with her doctor.
The 73-year-old was in possession of meth and took it to her
doctor to get tested, according to police reports. She was
concerned about the effect the drug would have on her. She also
worried the drug would harm her, according to The Miami Herald.
Authorities were called to the hospital, and when they spoke to
her, she said she had been using the drug for a month, according
to police reports. She also showed police a "small clear plastic
baggie containing a white crystal-like substance," the report
says.
Ray also had an empty prescription bottle with her name written
on the prescription label. Contents that were inside the baggie
and the container tested positive for meth, the police report
says. Ray was sent to the hospital for treatment before being
taken into custody by police. She didn't overdose on the drug but
appeared to be under the influence of it, according to the police
report.
Ray would eventually be released from jail two days after her
doctor's visit. The Miami Herald reports it is unknown why Ray
was smoking meth or where she received the drugs.

A man walked into a gift shop that sold religious items. Near
the cash register he saw a display of caps with "WWJD"
printed on all of them. He was puzzled over what the letters
could mean, but couldn't figure it out, so he asked the clerk.
The clerk replied that the letters stood for "What Would Jesus
Do", and was meant to inspire people to not make rash
decisions, but rather to imagine what Jesus would do in the
same situation.
The man thought a moment and then replied, "Well, I'm pretty

‘La Femme escorts’,
Liverpool
England
Escort agency ‘sets up advert outside nursery
to recruit vulnerable mums’
An escort agency has been accused of attempting to recruit
mothers by leaving an advertising van outside a nursery for two
weeks. The van, which advertised an agency called ‘La Femme
escorts’, was parked outside Pagoda Arts Centre in Liverpool
which functions as a nursery for local parents. Parents coming
in and out of the nursery were met by the van – which clearly
displayed contact details – on a number of occasions, prompting
concerns they were being ‘recruited’.
Councillor Steve Munby, who had the van removed following
complaints from Pagoda staff, said he feared the agency was
targeting young mums. He said: ‘They are trying to recruit
people and we are worried about that. It’s not just that it’s
offensive. ‘I can’t think why else they would put them there if
not to target mums or people who need to consider doing that
for financial reasons.
Normally you’d think they would put them in places where you
have a flow of people or potential customers but this isn’t
that. ‘They are trying to recruit people.’ After walking past
on Saturday lunchtime mum-of-two Joan Halfon said she thought
the van was ‘outrageous’. She said: ‘You come to town to do
some shopping, so of course you take your kids with you but you
don’t expect to see this.
‘In phone boxes or on the internet maybe, but not where
children could just be out walking with their parents.’ The
manager of Pagoda, who did not wish to be named, confirmed that
staff had reported the van to the council after it was left
parked outside the nursery for two weeks. She said nursery
parents were left ‘upset’ by the van, which staff thought had
been abandoned outside. She added: ‘We have no idea why it was
parked there. If they want to advertise they would have parked
it somewhere more busy.’ Featuring six naked women covered by
furs, the poster said the company offers ‘luxury’ services 24
hours a day, seven days a week. A spokesman for Liverpool
Council said: ‘Where vehicles are contravening parking
regulations or causing an obstruction we will take action to
have them moved on.’

Ekaterina Tirskaya, 22,
Novosibirsk,
Russia
Woman who identified as a vampire stabbed boyfriend ‘because he
was a werewolf’
A woman who thought she was a vampire from a TV show stabbed
her new boyfriend to try and ‘fulfil her mission to slay
werewolves’. Ekaterina Tirskaya, 22, believed she was Elena
Gilbert, the main character in fantasy drama The Vampire
Diaries, she told police. A psychological assessment carried
out before her trial in Novosibirsk, Russia, reportedly found
her to be sane.
Tirskaya and her unnamed lover slept together for the first
time after meeting on social media, the court was told. In the
morning she suddenly ‘changed’, telling him she was a vampire
and like Elena Gilbert, played by Canadian actress Nina Dobrev,
had to slay werewolves. He said he didn’t believe in the
supernatural, and urged her to go home, the court heard. ‘She
grabbed a knife in the kitchen and suddenly attacked him when
he was getting out of the bath,’ one report said.
‘He managed to get hold of the knife. ‘But she grabbed another
one and stabbed him in the chest.’ He staggered out of his flat
and banged on neighbours doors pleading for help. They called
for an ambulance and police.
The man was gravely wounded but survived the February attack.
Prosecutor Felix Kuznetsov said she was sentenced to two and a
half years in prison after being found guilty of inflicting
grievous bodily harm. She was also ordered to pay Ł3,900 in
‘moral damages’ to her stabbed lover.

Re: MailWasher and Malwarebytes
Dear Webby
I have finally decided to get mailwasher because i get so much
spam every day. I wanted to know if I can keep my Malwarebytes
with it.
Do I need to keep my virus protection because reading about it,
it mentions virus control in it.
Thanks, Bob
Dear Bob
Yes, sure you can keep MawareBytes!
MalwareBytes protects you from evil shit that you get via
browsers.
MailWasher protects you from spam, and bad stuff coming in via
email.
The two of them are like a Marine at the front door, and a Navy
Seal at your back door. They guard different doors, but both
protect you.
The nice part about MailWasher, it lets you preview the headers
of mail, including the hidden parts that you otherwise never
see, and lets you nuke those mails right on the server, without
ever downloading that crap.
For example, a sender might pretend to be PayPal, and in your
email program even look like PayPal. The MailWasher preview
shows you IN RED, that the underlying, hidden actual address
is a Russian .ru address.
And it flags it for Deleting.
When you hit F6 to process, that mail goes straight to hell.
You don't even have to download it.
I use the same addresses since 1994, and they are in all
spammer's CDs.
So what?
I have been using MailWasher since about 1996, and I only see
the 100 or so mails, that I actually want to read.
By all means GET MailWasher as fast as you can.
You have seen messages from people, who have kicked themselves
for not getting it a long time ago.
Have FUN!

Florida man asks cops to arrest him
for child porn
A Florida man walked into a Pensacola police precinct and asked
to be arrested for downloading images of child porn onto his
phone, cops say.
Cory Hinsch, 24, walked into the police station Friday afternoon
and told a front desk officer that he “needed to be taken to jail
because he had downloaded child pornography on his cell phone,”
according to a November 9 Pensacola Police Department report.
Hinsch then “placed his cell phone up to the glass at the
counter” and displayed an illicit image of a young girl that was
stored on the phone.
During a subsequent interview with investigators, Hinsch
reportedly admitted downloading the child porn images from the
“dark web” via a “Tor browser app” on his phone.
A police examination of Hinsch’s phone revealed two images of
young girls engaging in sexual activity.
Hinsch was arrested on two counts of possession of child
pornography. He was booked into the Escambia County jail, where
he remained locked up until Tuesday, when he posted $10,000 bond.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth

Kate McClure, right,
McClure's boyfriend Mark D'Amico
in jail in New Jersey,
Johnny Bobbitt Jr., left,
UNder a bridge, somewhere.
Homeless man and N.J. couple
concocted story for GoFundMe fundraiser
Couple Mark D'Amico and Kate McClure and homeless man Johnny
Bobbitt Jr. are expected to face charges that include conspiracy
and theft by deception.
A New Jersey couple accused of scamming a homeless good Samaritan
out of hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of an online
fundraiser that went viral a year ago had initially conspired
with him to concoct a "fictitious story," prosecutors allege.
A complaint obtained by NBC Philadelphia says couple Mark D'Amico
and Kate McClure made up a GoFundMe campaign in honor of Johnny
Bobbitt Jr. so that all three could raise money by deceiving
generous donors. They kept up the ruse by preventing donors from
acquiring information that would affect their judgment about the
campaign and "by failing to correct their story," the complaint
added.
The three are expected to face charges that include conspiracy
and theft by deception, a source familiar with the case told NBC
Philadelphia, adding that D'Amico and McClure surrendered to
authorities on Wednesday.
Ernest Badway, an attorney for D'Amico and McClure, told NBC News
he had no comment early Thursday.
Chris Fallon, an attorney for Bobbitt, could not immediately be
reached for comment.
The initially feel-good tale began last fall when Bobbitt, a
homeless Marine veteran, gave McClure his last $20 after she ran
out of gas on a freeway ramp in Philadelphia, she said. Moved by
the gesture, McClure and D'Amico started a GoFundMe campaign for
Bobbitt.
"Johnny did not ask me for a dollar, and I couldn't repay him at
that moment because I didn't have any cash, but I have been
stopping by his spot for the past few weeks," McClure wrote in
her post.
Bobbitt's kindness drew donations from more than 14,000 people
and earned him $402,000. The outpouring, in turn, touched the
couple: "He will never have to worry about a roof over his head
again!!" they later posted on GoFundMe while thanking "everyone
who had a part of this amazing ride."
Bobbit claimed that of the $402,000 he just got $25,000 and that
D'Amico and McClure spent the rest on a brand new BMW, vacations
and jewelry.
Police have since then confiscated some of the loot.

You can tell Eudora where to stash attachments.
Instead of some hard to find directory way down somewhere, tell

You may still have to go in there occasionally and snug up file
names, that have empty spaces in them.

Good Morning, !
Today is Thursday November 15
I am chipped now.
To take a glucose reading I wave the recorder near my left arm.
It takes the data wirelessly, tells me if it is going up, down,
sideways, up or down fast, and puts the data into a graph.
Once a week I connect the recorder (credit card size but as thick
as your Sillyphone) to a USB port and upload the data to the PCN
(Pretty Cute Nurse)
Then she nags me via email if the glucose level was too high at
any time.
The only time I have to poke my finger the old fashioned way is
if the graph shows an unbelievable jag.
I still have to inject insulin the old fashioned way. No WiFi for
that, yet.
Have FUN!

"Where did Mommy go?"
In answer to his question, he was told, "Mommy is at a
Tupperware party."
This explanation satisfied him for only a moment.
Puzzled, he asked, "What's a Tupperware party, Daddy?"
The man had always given his son honest answers,
so he figured a simple explanation would be the best
approach. "Well, son," he said, "at a Tupperware party,
a bunch of ladies sit around and sell plastic bowls to

He nodded, indicating that he understood this curious

Clare Tague, 32,
Manchester,
Britain
British mum secretly hoarded Ł240,000 of
cocaine, some in daughter's Kinder eggs
A mum-of-one hoarded Ł240,000 worth of cocaine in her bedroom
after finding it on a walk near her home then led a secret
double life to hide it from her boyfriend and daughter. Clare
Tague, 32, who has been jailed for six years, even hid some of
the cocaine in her 11-year-old's Kinder egg boxes. The 1.2kg
stash had been dumped in a field near Tague's home in Clayton,
Manchester, and after she was rumbled she told police: 'I found
it on the field and was going to sell it on for money why
didn't I just leave it where it was.'
Police got a tip off she was hoarding the drugs and last May
seized the haul during a raid on her home. Tague claimed she had
planned to sell the drugs to pay off gambling debts and during
the raid police found four mobile phones and a list of 'figures'
among shopping lists. Manchester Crown Court heard Tague had
stashed snap bags inside 10 Kinder eggs at a street value of
Ł2,000 to Ł5,000. Prosecuting, Alison Heyworth said: 'A number of
bags and packages of cocaine were recovered from their bedroom.
Three packages of cocaine were found there. 'Two blocks were
found wrapped in tissue paper. 'The compressed blocks of cocaine
were likely to be sold in bulk and could range in value between
Ł4,000 and Ł50,000.'
She added that an Asda bag found in Tague's wardrobe contained
another six blocks of cocaine at 61% purity, ranging from 124g to
349g. 'This had a value range of Ł18,000 to Ł75,000,' the
prosecutor said.
Tague was arrested alongside her partner during the raid on May
18 but she pulled one officer aside and indicated that her
partner didn't know about the bags. 'She said why didn't I just
leave it where it was. I found it on the field and was going to
sell it on for money ,' Ms Heyworth told the court. 'They found
further plastic bags under the bin bag in the bin including 80
snap bags. 'These were ready to be sold on directly and had a
value worth of Ł3,000 to Ł7,000.'
The total value of cocaine found at Tague's home valued between
Ł28,000 and Ł238,000, she said. Defence lawyer Rachel White told
the court that Tague had always worked but after her father's
death she became depressed and developed a gambling addiction.
'This was all to try to get rid of the debt,' she said. 'There is
no evidence of a lavish lifestyle and she didn't drag her partner
into the proceedings.'

A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy
two servings per night and a few more on weekends, I
consume 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which
equals to one pound of weight per week.
Therefore, in the last three and a half years, I have had a
chocolate caloric intake of about 180 pounds. I only weigh
165 pounds, so without chocolate, I would have wasted away
to nothing about three months ago.
I owe my life to chocolate!

Softening Brown Sugar
Put a slice of bread in a bag of brown sugar that has become
hard and then seal the bag. The brown sugar will soften
within a couple of days, then discard the bread. In a hurry,
just grate the clumps using a hand grater or put in the
microwave for a few seconds.
Brown sugar is not raw sugar. Ancient laws require all sugar to
be fully refined. It is simply flavored and moistened with a bit
of molasses.

A woman in our diet club was lamenting that she had gained
weight. She'd made her family's favorite cake over the weekend,
she reported, and they'd eaten half of it at dinner.
The next day, she said, she kept staring at the other half,
until finally she cut a thin slice for herself. One slice led to
another, and soon the whole cake was gone.
The woman went on to tell us how upset she was with her
lack of willpower, and how she knew her husband would be
disappointed. Everyone commiserated, until someone asked
what her husband said when he found out.
She smiled. "He never found out.
I made another cake and ate half!"

When the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would
like to express Praise for answered prayers, a lady stood
and walked to the podium.
She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband
Jim had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely
crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know
if they could help him."
You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the congregation
as they imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced.
She continued, "Jim was unable to hold me or the children and
every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors
performed a delica te operation. They were able to piece together
the crushed remnants of Jim's scrotum and wrap wire around it
to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation squirmed uncomfortably as
they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Jim.
She continued, "Now, Jim is out of the hospital and the doctors
say, with time, his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with relief.
The pastor rose and tentatively asked if any one else had
anything to say.

Tinder date in Ponte Vedra leads to
home invasion, police chase.
Crooks rammed and stopped by cops.
Facebook
A Ponte Vedra resident was restrained and robbed during a home
invasion that originated as a Tinder date, the St. Johns County
Sheriff's Office said.
The victim had arranged for a female to come to his house, but a
male subject appeared and pointed a gun at him and began taking
items, deputies said.
The victim was tied up with bed sheets, pushed under a bed and
gagged with a shirt so he couldn't scream for help, deputies
said. He was forced to give up his bank account information, the
report said.
Before the victim freed himself, the two suspects were already
using his bank accounts.
The suspects were quickly identified as Michael Eric Wheeler, 26,
and Lexus Joshlin Tripplett, 20, and located in a nearby park.
Wheeler is a convicted felon, deputies said. He's charged with
kidnapping, resisting arrest and robbery.
"Deputies approached the suspects, who then turn fled and
attempted to lead deputies into a vehicle pursuit. Due to the
seriousness of the charges and the belief that the subjects may
be involved in other violent crimes from outside of our
jurisdiction, deputies rammed the suspect car against several
trees, stopping their attempted escape."
Wheeler is being held on a $650,000 bond, while Tripplett faces a
$350,000 bond.

Re: Wired or wireless mouse?
Dear Webby
What is better, a wired or a wireless mouse?
Elsie
Dear Elsie
A wired 5 button mouse (with copy and paste!) is $50 cheaper than
a similar mouse that is wireless.
With the wireless mouse you have to keep buying batteries.
The disadvantage of the wired mouse is that the cable gets
snagged and you kock stuff over or off the desk.
Today's wireless mice don't eat batteries like they used to 15 or
20 years ago. They are quite frugal now.
I have a Logitech wireless 5 button mouse and a Microsoft wired 5
button mouse. The Logitech wireless mouse is aboout 7 years old,
the Microsoft wired 5 button mouse is about 3 years old.
The Microsoft mouse has gotten a bit unpredictable, especially
the left button. Overall, the quality of the mouse is not quite
the same as the Logitech mouse.
Yes, I know, Microsoft does dot MAKE the mouse, they just get
their cut for lending their name. However, the mouse they chose
to market, is definitely a lower quality than the Logitech 5
button mouse.
I have used 5 button mice since the mid 90's, using side buttons
for copy and paste, and depressing the wheel for ENTER. Using a
three button mouse from the Dollar Store is painful!
Actually, my mice have 7 buttons. The wheel tilts for horizontal
scrolling, but I never use that feature, or almost never. If it
did not have horizontal scrolling, I would not miss it.
Have FUN!

a dangerous criminal alien was released to
the streets and is now charged with killing
three people.
“Yet again, an ICE detainer was ignored and a dangerous criminal
alien was released to the streets and is now charged with killing
three people,” Price said. “Had ICE’s detainer request in
December 2017 been honored by Middlesex County Jail, Luis Rodrigo
Perez would have been placed in deportation proceedings and
likely sent home to his country – and three innocent people might
be alive today.
"It is past time that localities realize the perils of dangerous
sanctuary policies and resume their primary goal of protecting
their residents," Price added.
In an email to the Associated Press, Middlesex County officials
said the detainer wasn't honored because it didn’t meet their
criteria.
Missouri law enforcement officials believe Perez and Aaron
Anderson, 19, killed their ex-roommates Steven Marler, 38, and
Aaron Hampton, 23, after they were kicked out of their
Springfield home.
Perez is also accused of killing a 21-year-old Sabrina Starr the
next day at her house. He is charged with eight felony counts in
the shootings.
Anderson told investigators he was waiting with Starr in an SUV
outside Hampton and Marler’s home when Perez shot them, adding
that he could hear the victims begging for their lives while on
the phone with Perez.
He was charged as an accomplice to first-degree murder and three
other felonies.
Perez’s girlfriend, Dalia Garcia, 23, is charged with tampering
with evidence after she allegedly rode a bus from New Jersey to
help burn evidence.

Re: Laptop getting hot
Dear Webby
My laptop feels hotter and hotter on my lap.
What do I have to do?
Helen
Dear Helen
The machinery did not change, it just got dirty.
You have to, either yourself or get soebody else to do it,
open it up and vacuum it out.
Especially when used on your lap, it sucks in all kinds of cozy
fluff, That interferes with the cooling.
You need a phillips screwdriver and a vacuum cleaner with a
crewvice attachment. An empty jam jar is also handy for keeping
the removed screws in. Some Q-tips and windex may also be handy.
Shut it down, but don't necessarily unplug anything. The charging
cable will ground it and stop you from zapping it.
Turn it upside down and remove all screws that you can see.
Put the screws into the jam jar, so that they don't roll away or
get vacuumed up.
Once you have removed all the screws, you can \separate the top
and bottom of the laptop.
Once you have the top and bottom separated, you see the big mess.
Use the vacuum cleaner to clean everything without quite
touching anything.
If you see any heatsinks or fans, clean them with a Q-tip and
Windex or anything like that.
Assemble it again and put the screws back in.
That's all there is to it.
Have FUN!

Make Your Own Logs
If you have a wood burning stove and receive the daily paper,
you can make your own newspaper logs. Lay newspapers
flat and roll it into 3 inch diameter logs then wrap metal
wire around the finished log. The tighter you can roll the
paper, the longer the "logs" will burn.
You will wind up with a lot of ash, that you
have to vacuum out, otherwise it will "blind" the grate and
interfere with air flow. Also, keep in mind that when paper is
burned without plenty of heat and air, you produce toxic
pollutants, and not really very much heat.

caused her to fall into a deep coma. After nearly six months, she
awakens and sees that she is no longer pregnant.
Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor
replies, "
Ma'am, you had twins -- a boy and a girl. The babies are fine.
Your brother came in and named them."
The woman thinks to herself, "Oh, no! Not Bubba; he's an idiot!"
Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the
girl's name?"
"Denise," the doctor answers.
The new mother thinks, "Wow! That's a beautiful name! I guess I
was wrong about my brother. I really like the name Denise."

The driver, Keryl J. Lopez, 48 of McKinleyville, California, is
facing single felony counts of possession and trafficking in
marijuana. She is being held in the Strongsville City Jail.
If convicted, she could face up to 22 years in prison and up to a

airport, they announced that the flight was full. The
airline was looking for volunteers to give up their seats.
In exchange, they'd give you a $100 voucher for your next
flight and a first class seat in the plane leaving an hour later.
About eight people ran up to the counter to take advantage
of the offer.
About 15 seconds later all eight of those people sat down
grumpily as the lady behind the ticket counter said, "If there
is anyone else OTHER than the flight crew who'd like to
volunteer, please step forward."

when she refused to have sex without a condom
Mortgage broker Andrew Strogylos, 36, was charged with common
assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against the
woman who worked at a brothel in Sydney, Australia.
He allegedly attacked her when she refused unprotected sex after
Strogylos handed over $200 for a ‘platinum service’. Strogylos
had been wearing a condom when the service began, but allegedly
took it off before trying to have sex with the 28-year-old sex
worker at the Zinia Brothel on March 16. Burwood Local Court
heard that Strogylos argued with the woman when she tried to
‘shut down’ the one-hour session. Court documents claim Strogylos
told the woman he had paid $200 for platinum service and she
should ‘offer those services’. The court heard the woman called
for help and covered herself with a towel until her co-worker Yi
Xun Gan entered the room.
Police allege in court documents that Strogylos then spat in the
woman’s face, she poured water on him and he allegedly retaliated
by punching her in the face. Mr Gan was also allegedly punched in
the face after trying to help the woman. Strogylos was arrested
on April 27 at his home in Belmore, Sydney.
time to act Police allegedly uncovered a stash of steroids
including 63 10ml vials of testosterone in his bedroom, the court

Re: Mailwasher filters
Dear Webby
I finally took your advice and downloaded Mailwasher. Can you
suggest some filters for spam? I already set up the "=?ISO-"
one you suggested, but wonder if you have any more
suggestions. Also, how do I keep it from bouncing legitimate
mail I get from the various lists that I'm on (including yours)?
Do I have to make sure to get them all on my friends list?
Jenn
Dear Jenn
For making filters just make them as spam comes in.
They are really easy to make, and a very rewarding type of fun.
When you see spam, look for things different spams have in
common. A typically common word is "enlarge", and that also is
part of enlargement.
Hit CTRL F7, the Filter editor opens, make a filter that reacts
to that word, deletes it and hides it.
The same for "Prescript", and so on. No need to use the full
words, just the common parts of them.
With newsletters, make GOOD filters for them. That is more
precise than to just add them to the friends list.
Mark them as legitimate and hide them from the list
Just add filters as required by the type of spam you get.
The reward is when you open up in the morning and read in the
status line:
412 emails hidden,
and then gleefully pounce on the "PROCESS" button.
The only better way to start the day is
not a family safe topic '-)

HER SIDE OF THE STORY
He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar, I thought
it might have been my fault because I was a bit late
but he didn't say anything much about it.
The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we
should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk
more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was
STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and
started to wonder whether it was me or something else.
I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure.
So anyway, in the cab on the way back to his house, I
said that I love him and he just put his arm around me.
I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know
he doesn't say it back or anything. We finally got back
to his place and I was wondering if he was going to
dump me! So I tried to ask him about it but he just
switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to
go to sleep. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me
and we had sex.
But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I
just wanted to leave but I just cried myself to sleep.
I dunno, I just don't know what he thinks anymore. I
mean, do you think he's met someone else???
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY
My team lost. That cost me a bundle!

To pull the calcium out of chicken or turkey bones, add 1
ounce of vinegar to each quart of water (up to 4 ounces total)
when you are making soup stock. It will not give a vinegar

My secretaryt asked me what I was doing.
I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, so the
Boss might think I was 'crazy' and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later, the boss came into the office and asked,

I jumped down and walked out of the office...

Arturo Macarro Gutierrez, 35,
St Paul,
Minnesota
Man arrested for raping 4-year-old,
Infecting her with Gonorrhea
A Minnesota man is accused of raping his girlfriend’s four-year-
old daughter, who tested positive for gonorrhea.
Authorities charged Arturo Macarro Gutierrez, 35, with first and
second-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly sexually
assaulting the four-year-old victim at a house in St. Paul on
October 28.
The four-year-old’s grandmother reported the incident last
Wednesday after her granddaughter said Gutierrez pulled down her
pants and hurt her.
The four-year-old called Gutierrez “daddy,” but the grandmother
told authorities he was dating the girl’s mother. The child’s
aunt told the grandmother Gutierrez had been making “humping”
motions in the bedroom.
The victim went to a local hospital, where tests determined she
had contracted gonorrhea.
A SWAT team executing a search warrant on the residence
discovered Gutierrez hiding in the attic. Authorities accused him
of sexually assaulting the girl after he also tested positive for
gonorrhea.
Gutierrez denied hurting the girl, according to a criminal
complaint.
The 35-year-old has a rap sheet that includes domestic violence
charges. Gutierrez made his first court appearance for the sexual
assault charges Monday and is due back in court on November 20.

Re: Removing AdAware
Dear Webby
Hi and as always thanks for the daily humor. I think I asked
you this before, but I need help..
again!!
I got McAfee virus protection and it will not let me install it
100% because I have AdAware and can not get to my
add/remove program to uninstall it.
PLEASE let me know if there is a way I can uninstall that.
And any solutions as to why I can not get to add/remove?
thanks and have a good day
Tam
Dear Tam
AdAware has been around for ages, and the ad companies have tried
all that time to defeat it or to get around it. So they have
continuously made it stronger and tougher to defeat.
A lot of people have problems with removing AdAware.
That is one of the reasons I don't recommend them.
Half an hour on Google found this:
1. Click "uninstall Ad-Aware" in the lavasoft folder of your
start menu
2. If it does not work, open your control panel, click add/remove
programs and locate Ad-Aware SE
3. If it still does not work, locate and run (double-click) the
file "unwise.exe" (the .exe might not be shown). It should be
found in C:\program files\lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE
[Personal/Plus/Professional]\
If that does not work, or if you get a message saying something
like "Can't find Install.log," perform a manual uninstall. Do the
following:
1. Click on "my computer" and navigate to your Lavasoft Ad-Aware
folder (C:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware \
2. Run the file unregaaw.exe
3. Delete the entire ad-aware folder
4. Delete your Lavasoft Ad-Aware link in your start menu (if
present)
5. Delete the Ad-Aware icon(s) from your desktop(if present)
6. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application
Data\Lavasoft
and delete the entire Lavasoft folder.
7. Empty your trash bin
8. Reboot.
If you have already deleted unregaaw.exe, try to get it from
Lavasoft in Sweden.
Have FUN!

As a young married couple, a husband and a wife lived in a
cheap housing complex near the base where he was
working. Their chief complaint was that the walls were
paper-thin and that they had no privacy.
This was painfully obvious when one morning the husband

She was interrupted by the doorbell and went to greet

"Give this to your husband," he said thrusting a roll of

Dajanae Jordan, 23.
Grosse Pointe Park,
Madison Heights,
Michigan
Feds charge serial bank robbery suspect
in Madison Heights, other robberies
A woman accused in a string of bank robberies in Madison Heights
and other cities has been named and arraigned in federal court.
Police said Dajanae Jordan, 23, of Grosse Pointe Park was charged
on bank robbery and attempted bank robbery counts Friday in U.S.
District Court in Detroit.
We're not charging her locally, said Madison Heights Detective
Sgt. Brent LeMerise. The case has been turned over to the feds.
Jordan faced a detention hearing Monday afternoon in federal
court where her bail will be set.
The robberies and attempted robberies first started a couple of
weeks ago in Macomb County when authorities said Jordan
unsuccessfully tried to rob a Chase Bank in Warren.
Jordan used notes that she handed to tellers at all the banks
where the robberies and attempted robberies were done, according
to police in Oakland and Macomb counties.
Other banks included in the string of robberies included an
unsuccessful attempt at Vibe Credit Union in Sterling Heights.
But police said she was successful in robberies at a Comerica
Bank in Macomb Township, a Flagstar Bank on Big Beaver in Troy
and a Chase Bank in Madison Heights.
The Chase Bank in Madison Heights is located in the Hollywood
Market on Campbell Road near 12 Mile and was robbed Oct. 25.
Madison Heights police said she handed a male teller a note and
threatened to shoot him if he didn't hurry up and she got away
with $2,500.
Multiple police departments and the FBI were part of the ongoing
investigation of the robberies and attempted robberies.
They hadn't identified a suspect until police said Jordan
returned to the bank in Madison Heights and unsuccessfully tried
to rob it again on Halloween.
Residents called police and reported a woman matching the
suspect's description was running through their yards in a
neighborhood near the bank. One of them also saw a car matching
the description of a silver car used in the earlier bank robbery.
Police said a man in a burgundy Jeep picked up the suspect. Hazel
Park police spotted the Jeep heading south on Interstate 75 near
Eight Mile Road and finally stopped the vehicle in Detroit. The
man driving the Jeep has not been charged and reportedly told
police he didn't know Jordan had robbed a bank when he picked her
up.

A rancher goes to the bank to borrow money to buy a bull so
he can increase his stock. The transaction is made and the
banker who lent the money comes by a week later to see how
his investment is doing. The farmer complains that the bull
just eats grass and won't even look at the cows. The banker
suggests that a veterinarian have a look at the bull.
The next week the banker returns to see if the vet helped.
The farmer looks very pleased: "The bull has taken care of
all my cows, broke through the fence, and has even serviced
all my neighbor's cows!"
"Wow," says the banker, "what did the vet do to that bull?"
"Just gave him some pills," replied the farmer.
"What kind of pills?" asked the banker.
"I don't know, but they sort of taste like peppermint."

Breaking Up a Dog Fight
The best way to break up a dog fight is to throw water on
the dogs. This will usually startle the dogs enough to stop
the fighting. Breaking up a dog fight with your hands can
be very dangerous as you are liable to get bit or scratched.
In winter, when thawed out water may be hard to come by,
gonging them with an empty plastic 5 gallon pail usually
gets their attention, especially if it is the same pail that
you use to feed them. It may look cruel, but is a lot better
than letting them kill or injure each other.

Pastor Dave Charlton tells us, "After a worship service at First
Baptist Church in Newcastle, Kentucky, a mother with a fidgety
seven-year old boy told me how she finally got her son to sit
still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned
over and whispered, 'If you don't be quiet, Pastor Charlton is
going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all
over again!'
It worked."

Chris Watts, 33,
Greeley,
Colorado
To avoid death penalty, man admits
killing pregnant wife and two daughters
Chris Watts, 33, had claimed he saw his wife murdering Bella, 4,
and Celeste, 3, on a baby monitor, then went into a rage and
strangled his wife Shannan, who was 15 weeks pregnant. He pleaded
guilty today under a plea deal allowing him to avoid the death
penalty but putting him in jail for life without a chance of
parole. After he killed his family, Watts hid the bodies of his
daughters in an oil tank where he worked to hide the smell of
their decaying bodies, and buried his wife in a shallow grave.
One of Shannan’s friends became concerned about her whereabouts
after not hearing from her for several days after August 13 and
contacted police. Watts was arrested on August 16 – after making
a TV appeal for information about the whereabouts of his missing
family. He said their disappearance had left him ‘torn up inside’
and appealed for ‘everybody to just come home.’ Shanann Watts’
family members ‘were very strongly in favor of a resolution in
this case short of the death penalty,’ Weld County District
Attorney Michael Rourke said.
He recalled her mother, Sandra, saying Christopher Watts ‘made
the choice’ to take the lives of his family members. ‘I do not
want to be in the position of making the choice to take his,’
Rourke said, quoting Sandra. ‘That’s about as firmly as she could
have said it to me.’ Watts’ voice was shaking, and he could
occasionally be heard sniffing after each time he said ‘guilty.’
The agreement also required Watts to plead guilty to unlawful
termination of Shanann Watts’ pregnancy, a felony in Colorado.
Family members have said she planned to name the boy Nico.
The deal also ensures that Watts, who is 33, will consecutively
serve each sentence for that charge and the murders of his wife
and daughters. Rourke said Tuesday that investigators never
believed that Watts was being entirely truthful. ‘The spotlight
that he tried to shine on Shanann – falsely, incorrectly and
frankly a flat-out lie – has been corrected,’ Rourke said. ‘The
spotlight shines directly where it belongs: On him.’

Re: Chrome crashing
Dear Webby
My Chrome browser keeps crashing, locking up, playing stoopid.
How can I fix that?

Dear DW,
You probably use the "Honey" extension,
that checks net wide for better deals.
That works great, when you are on legitimate shopping sites,
however, if you are on hysterically fanatic liberal sites like
FaceBook or MSN, their censoring and excessive ads get into a
pissing contest with Chrome, and Chrome loses.
Just disable "Honey" and everything will work fine. Just enable
it when you are actually shopping. It will usually save you 5 -
25% of the price.
So far they have never sent me to a bad site,
You don'y have to remove "Honey". Just disable it until you
actually need it.
Have FUN!

Here is a list of some of the dumbest questions
asked by tourists at Alberta's Banff National Park. Yes,
they are all allegedly true, as heard at the information
kiosks manned by Parks Canada staff. [with my comment in
brackets]
1. How do the elk know they're supposed to cross at the
"Elk Crossing" signs? [They just do]
2. At what elevation does an elk become a moose? [6 feet]
3. Tourist: "How do you pronounce 'Elk'?" Park information
staff: "Elk." Tourist: "Oh." [Actually it is pronounced "Elk!]
4. Are the bears with collars tame? [Yes...take one home they
make lovely pets!]
5. Is there anywhere I can see the bears pose? [Just before they
eat
you!]
6. Is it okay to keep an open bag of bacon on the picnic table,
or should I store it in my tent? [Your sleeping bag or underwear
is a much better place for it!]
7. Where can I find Alpine Flamingoes? [Just to the left there...
see them?]
8. I saw an animal on the way to Banff today. Could you tell
me what it was? [Yes]
9. Are there birds in Canada? [Are there brains in your head?]
10. Did I miss the turnoff for Canada? [Hopefully!]
11. Where does Alberta end and Canada begin? [Right there!]
12. Do you have a map of the State of Jasper? [You are with a
travel group right? I would hate for you to get lost in our
fine country!]
13. Is this the part of Canada that speaks French, or is that
Saskatchewan? [no that would be Quebec!]
14. If I go to BC, do I have to go through Ontario? [Only if you
are on a round-the-world tour!]
15. Which is the way to the Columbia Rice Fields? [Try China!]
16. How far is Banff from Canada? [Very far!]
17. What's the best way to see Canada in a day? [Space Shuttle!]
18. Do they search you at the BC border? [If you ask them
nicely!]
19. When we enter BC, do we have to convert our money to British
pounds? [They are using the Yen now!]
20. Where can I buy a raccoon hat? All Canadians own one,
don't they? [Sure do...and we all own red "mountie" suits too!]
21. Are there phones in Banff? [No...it is Canada's only official
phone-free location!]
22. So it's eight kilometres away. Is that in miles? [no..in
fathoms!]
23. We're on the decibel system you know. [Really...so convert a
69 for me!]
24. Where can I get my husband really, REALLY, lost? [Spread your
legs!]
25. Is that two kilometres by foot or by car? [Yes!]
26. Don't you Canadians know anything? [Oh boy...watch out for
that tree!]
27. Where do you put the animals at night? [In your car!]
28. Tourist: "How do you get your lakes so blue?" Park staff: "We
take the water out in the winter and paint the bottom." Tourist:
"Oh."
[And we paint the trees green too!]
And then there is the mating call of the bluehaired Winnebegans:
"An juss haw much es that en reel mohney?"
[Just double it and round it down. That's close enough.]

The fourth-grade teacher had to leave the room for a few minutes.
When she returned, she found the children in perfect order.
Everybody was sitting absolutely quiet.
She was shocked and stunned and said, "I've never seen anything
like it before. This is wonderful. But, please tell me, what came
over all of you? Why are you so well-behaved and quiet?"
Finally, after much urging, a little girl said, "Well, one time
you said that if you ever came back and found us quiet,
you would drop dead!!"

Grow a Natural Christmas Tree
Consider a potted tree instead of a cut one. It will save you
money every year and it will grow with you and your family.
Keep an eye on your tree's health while it is inside. It
should only be inside for 10 to 14 days.

The Amazing ‘Needle Painting’ of Vera Shimunia

There was a large revival meeting on the outskirts
of town, and at the appropriate corner there was
a large sign proclaiming...."If you are weary of
sin and want to be saved, turn here, go 100 yards,
and come into the revival tent."
Below the sign someone had hung another smaller
one...."If NOT weary, call Sherry 555-3550."
