Abe is a new arrival at a retirement community, and is

garden.  Becky is out for her morning constitutional, spies
Abe, and says "Do you mind?"

"Not at all" Abe says, so Becky sits down on the opposite
end of his bench.

"So, you're new here" says Becky.

"Yes" Abe nods.

"So, where are you from?" asks Becky.

"Washington" Abe answers.

"The state or the capitol?" asks Becky.

"The state" replies Abe.

"So how old are you ? asks Becky.

"I'll be 52 in October.". Abe replies

"What did you do in Washington?" asks Becky.

"I was in prison" Abe says.

"Really!" says Becky, "what did you do?"

"My wife was always asking stupid questions, so I chopped
her up and put her down the garbage disposal" he says.

"Sooo," purrs Becky, "you're single?"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Ryan Henry, 18 of Valparaiso, Indiana

Back to the bus!

March 17, 2007 - Valparaiso, Indiana - AP

A teenager clocked driving at 93 mph in a 45 mph zone told
police he had to get home in time to catch the school bus.

A judge had sentenced Ryan Henry, 18, to ride the bus to
school after an earlier speeding conviction, and Henry said
he was rushing home after going to a gas station to buy an
energy drink, said Porter County Sheriff's Deputy Roger
Bowles, who ticketed Henry.

Henry appeared to accelerate after passing a marked squad
car, then turned into a driveway and shut off the lights to his
2001 Mustang, Bowles said.

Henry was given a ticket for misdemeanor reckless driving
and ordered to appear in court April 16.

crows on a fence post and I shot one, how many would be left?"

Without hesitating, the friend says, "Two left."

"You don't get the point," the man says. "Listen to the riddle. There were
three crows on a fence post. Then I shot one. How many would be left?"

"Two left," the friend says again.

"No," the man says in a superior tone of voice. "None would be left,
because if I shot one then the other two would fly away."

"Isn't that what I've been saying?" the friend says. "Two left."

Since the early arrival of day;light saving time my clock

I do not have the pc set to do automatic updates as I want

ROME

A waltz. A tango. A piece of jazz. But they weren't composed
in Vienna, Buenos Aires or New Orleans. Scribbled on diaries,
loose pages or even toilet paper, these are the notes left
behind by people who lived and died in the prisons and
concentration camps of World War II.

Italian researchers hope thousands of nearly forgotten works
will find new life as they assemble a library of music composed
or played in those dark places between 1933 and 1945.

''We are trying to right a great wrong: These musicians were
hoping for a musical life for themselves, and they would have
had it if their destiny had been different,'' said Italian musician
Francesco Lotoro.

He has been collecting originals, copies and recordings of
everything from operas composed in the depth of the Nazi
death camps to jazz pieces written in Japanese POW camps
in Asian jungles.

The library, set to open in September at Rome's Third University,
will offer scholars a repertoire of 4,000 papers and 13,000
microfiches including music sheets, letters, drawings and photos.

For more than 15 years, working largely alone, Lotoro has been
crisscrossing the globe, usually at his own expense, hunting
down musical works from museums, archives and antique shops,
as well as from survivors or their families.

Lotoro, a pianist, is also rearranging and recording many of the
pieces to produce a collection of 32 CDs, five of which have
already been published. Musicians and singers who live in or
around his southern Italian town of Barletta, and who share his
passion, often spend their Sundays working with him in the
recording studio.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Grow Plants for Gifts 
I take cuttings of my indoor and outdoor plants and begin
new ones in saved plastic planters. These are my
"give away" plants. Last week alone, I saved money
by being able to use them as "thank you" gifts. Wrap
them up in some cellophane with ribbons and they
look store bought. By Kathy

Be careful that you don't get carried away with that!
That is what my father started to do after he retired.
Now have a look at his site at http://dawna.com
Most recent page is at the top in the menu on the left.
He specialized on cacti, because they only need watering
2 - 3 times a year and multiply nicely as long as they
are not pampered. Now he has over 5000 plants and no
time to label the pictures!

By the way, forget the cellophane and storebought look,
unless you want to get the message across, that you forgot
about it and just quickly picked something up at the store
on the way. A plant that you grew has a lot more value.
Have FUN!

It was the first day of third grade in a new town for
Johnny. As a test, his teacher went around the room and
asked each of the students to count to 50. Some did
very well, counting as high as 30 or 40 with just a few
mistakes. Others couldn't get past 20. Johnny, however,
did extremely well; he counted past 50, right up to 100
without any mistakes. He was so excited that he ran
home and told his Dad how well he had done. His Dad
nodded and told him, "That's because you're from
'Bama, son."

The next day, in language class, the teacher asked the
students to recite the alphabet. It's third grade, so
most could make it half way through without much
trouble. Some made it to "S" or "T," but Johnny rattled
off the alphabet perfectly right to the end. That
evening, Johnny once again bragged to his Dad about his
prowess in his new school. His Dad knowingly explained
to him, "That's because you are from 'Bama, son."

The next day, after Phys Ed, the boys were taking
showers. Johnny noticed that compared to the other boys
in his grade, he seemed overly "endowed." This confused
him. That night he told his dad, "Dad, the other boys
all have little tiny ones, but mine is ten times bigger
than theirs. Is that because I'm from 'Bama?" he
asked.

"No, son," explained his Dad, "That's because
you're 18."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to the Utah tax Commission

Winey Whiners
March 17, 2007 - Salt Lake City, Utah - AP

Merlot can be a variety of grape or a type of red wine, but
not an acceptable personalized license plate in the state
of Utah.

Glenn Eurick's 1996 Mercedes has had the license plate
reading "merlot" for 10 years. He says the plate never got
a lot of notice until the Utah Tax Commission told him last
week that he had to remove it because the state doesn't
allow words of intoxicants to be used on vanity plates.

Six or seven-letter words like liquor or whiskey probably
wouldn't make it through the state screening process before
the plates are issued. But merlot did and Eurick was fine
until an anonymous caller told the state that merlot was
amongst other things also a name for an alcoholic beverage.

Eurick's car with the offending plate is dark red, like the wine.
He said few people who asked about the plate made the
connection. Though one man did ask "if we chose merlot
because there were too many letters in cabernet sauvignon,"
Eurick said.

Eurick said he will challenge the state's decision.

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain
and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a
pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain
bellowed to his first mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"
The first mate quickly retrieved the captain's red
shirt, which the captain put on and led the crew to
battle the pirate boarding party. Although some
casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were
repelled.

Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were
two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew
cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever
bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the
battle was on. However, the captain and his crew
repelled both boarding parties, though this time more
casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that
night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign
looked to the captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call
for your red shirt before the battle?"

The captain, giving the ensign a look that only a
captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle,
the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you
men will continue to fight unafraid."

The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such
a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout
screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all
with boarding parties on their way.

The men became silent and looked to the captain, their
leader, for his usual command. The captain, calm as
ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!"

There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at the
local grocery store.  The manager doesn't know what Junior's
problem is, but the boys like to tease him.  The boys say he
is two bricks short of a load, or two pickles shy of a barrel.

To prove it, sometimes the boys offer Junior his choice
between a nickel and a dime.  He always takes the nickel,
they say, because it's bigger.

One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, the store manager
got him off to one side and said, "Junior, those boys are
making fun of you.  They think you don't know the dime is
worth more than the nickel.  Are you grabbing the nickel
because it's bigger, or what?"

Junior said, "No sir, you see, if I took the dime, they'd quit
doing it and giving me free nickels!"

Re: Ubuntu

Dear  Webby,
I'm thrilled with Vista.  It's driving people crazy enough,
not just to turn them off of Vista, but to leave them with
a bad taste for Microsoft in general.  It's been a great
shot-in-the-arm for Linux.  I appreciate you mentioning
it by-the-way.

If anyone's interested, the most user-friendly distro for
my money is still Ubuntu at www.ubuntulinux.org.  Anyone
who's interested in trying it out is welcome to e-mail me
and I'll give them instructions.
Thanks,
Donovan

Dear Donovan
I agree that anybody who tried Vista while hoping for
performance, versatility and compatibility, was quickly
disgusted and chased over to the Linux camp.

I am not a Microsoft basher, but I think that Vista belongs
on the same shelf as where DOS 4 wound up. I loved
DOS 3.3, and I loved DOS 5, but DOS 4 was one to skip.

Most likely Microsoft has realized by now that the silent
majority is skipping Vista, and that the noisy power users
are driven to Linux. Don't be surprised if there will be an
SP4 upgrade for XP, and if the next operating system after
Vista is lean and mean and almost as fast as Linux.

A Michigan man who became the nation's third successful
hand transplant recipient expects his new right hand to get a
workout holding a fishing rod once he returns home. David
Savage, an auto-parts plant supervisor from Bay City, Mich.,
will go home Saturday to continue his painstaking therapy
following his 15-hour surgery Nov. 29 at the hospital in
Louisville. The nation's first two hand transplant recipients
underwent surgery at the same hospital.

Savage said Friday that his new hand is getting stronger
and more flexible.

''I'm getting more movement out of the fingers and thumb,''
he said in an interview. ''Sensation is starting to come back.
I'm feeling a lot of things that I didn't feel at first.''

Savage, 54, said he feels a tingling sensation in his right
palm and sometimes gets ''little shooting pains into the
fingertips.'' He said he can feel cold sensation with the hand
but still doesn't feel anything hot.

He lost his right hand in a machine press accident more than
30 years ago. After his accident, Savage used a prosthetic
device.

Savage, who wears a brace on the new hand, said he
expects to return to work in about a month, and looks
forward to using it for ''basic, everyday life stuff.''

''I can't wait to get out fishing and use two hands,'' he said.

Consider the case of Frederick II, an 18th-century king of
Prussia. Frederick fancied himself an enlightened monarch,
and in some respects he was. On one occasion, he is
supposed to have interested himself in the conditions of a
Berlin prison. He was escorted through it so that he might
speak to the prisoners.

One after the other, the prisoners fell to their knees before
him, bewailing their lot and, predictably, protesting their
utter innocence of all charges that had been brought against
them.

Only one prisoner remained silent, and finally Frederick's
curiosity was aroused.

"You," he called. "You, there!"

The prisoner looked up. "Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Why are you here?"

"Armed robbery, Your Majesty."

"And are you guilty?"

"Entirely guilty, Your Majesty. I richly deserve my punishment."

At this Frederick rapped his cane sharply on the ground and
said, "Warden, release this guilty wretch at once. I will not have
him here in jail where by example he will corrupt all the splendid
innocent people who occupy it."

Re: Why not Vista?

Dear  Webby,
Why are you so set against Vista?
We use it at work, factory pre-installed on new machines.
It's a bit slower, actually quite a bit slower, but we get
paid by the hour. We still get about the same amount of
work done because games and music, and most things
that are not strictly work, don't work on Vista anyway.
When you look at it from a strictly work point of view,
it is supposedly safer and more secure, because the
hackers and virus writers haven't figured it out yet.

will take years for Vista to get patched up to the same level.
Many of us are hoping that long before then Microsoft will
come out with a lean and mean and fast successor to Vista.
If they don't, more and more people are migrating to Linux.

Aside from being slow, Vista is not ready for the general
public. A lot of the drivers for printers, scanners, cameras,
video cards, sound cards, games, etc are not included or
in many cases have not even been written yet.

For example, if you were an accountant and used a dual monitor
video card and two monitors, Vista could not handle the second
monitor. The same goes for the better sound cards, a lot of
printers and most scanners, that are over a year old.

Deeli's Kudos
March 18, 2007 - Commerce City, Colorado - AP

After an absence of more than a century, wild bison were
returned to Colorado's Front Range on Saturday in full view
of Denver's skyline.

Sixteen buffalo from the National Bison Range in northwestern
Montana were released in an enclosed 1,400-acre section of
a wildlife refuge that formerly was the Rocky Mountain Arsenal,
where once nerve gas and other chemical weapons were
manufactured.

''The release went very smoothly. We would say this was a
tremendous success,'' said Matt Kales, spokesman for the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He said the animals were released
in an area that had never been used for the manufacture of
weapons.

The 17,000-acre arsenal is being cleaned up and transformed
from a chemical weapons and pesticide manufacturing center
into the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National wildlife Refuge.

The refuge, about 10 miles from downtown Denver, already is
home to deer, bald eagles and hundreds of other species.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages the parts of
the arsenal that have been cleaned up, said bison were once a
key part of the area's short-grass prairie ecosystem.

''The short grass left by grazing bison is ideal habitat for
prairie dog colonies, which in turn provide habitat and
prey for rare species such as burrowing owls, hawks and
swift foxes,'' said Jonathan Proctor of Defenders of Wildlife.
''Bison also add nutrients to the soil and create wallows which
can attract several types of birds.''

Kales said Fish and Wildlife officials don't believe the bison will
try to get out of their enclosure, but employees will have tranquilizer
guns and escape plans ready as a precaution.

Communication works for those who work at it."

Thanks to Kati for this story:
The IRS decides to audit Ralph, and summons him to the IRS office. The
IRS auditor is not surprised when Ralph shows up with his attorney.

The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no
Full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money
gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable."

"I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Ralph. "How about a
Demonstration?"

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, "Okay. Go ahead."

Ralph says, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye."

The auditor thinks a moment and says, "No way! It's a bet."

Ralph removes his glass eye and bites it.

The auditor's jaw drops.

Ralph says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can
bite my other eye."

The auditor can tell Ralph isn't blind, so he takes the bet.

Ralph removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost
three grand,

With Ralph's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

"Want to go double or nothing?" Ralph asks.
"I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side
of your desk, pee into that wastebasket on the other side,
and never get a drop anywhere in between."

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks
carefully and decides there's no way this guy can manage
that stunt, so he agrees again.

Ralph stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but
although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach
the wastebasket on other side, so he pretty much urinates
all over the desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned
a major loss into a huge win. But Ralph's attorney moans
and puts his head in his hands.

"Are you okay?" the auditor asks.

"Not really," says the attorney.  "This morning, when Ralph
told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty
thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all
over your desk and that you'd be happy about it."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Thomas Lee Reagan, 45, in Hudson, Hudson, New Hampshire

Poor manners
March 13, 2007 - Hudson, New Hampshire - IBS

An order of double cheeseburgers turned into an unhappy
meal over the weekend at a Hudson McDonald's restaurant.

Hudson police said Thomas Lee Reagan, 45, complained
about the quality of the two double cheeseburgers he ordered
at about 8 p.m. Saturday at the McDonald's on Derry Road.

"Apparently Mr. Reagan was served a hamburger that was
not up to his standards. After he complained to the manager
regarding the quality of the food, (the restaurant) refunded
his money and, apparently, he wasn't happy with that," said
Sgt. Donna Briggs of the Hudson Police Department.

According to court records, Reagan complained about his
food being greasy and was refunded $2.16 but Reagan
began yelling obscenities, forcing several patrons with
young children to leave.

"After initially confronting the store manager, Reagan went
behind the counter apparently to engage the cook in some
verbal confrontation," Briggs said.

When police arrived, they felt that Reagan was intoxicated
and tried to get him to leave the McDonald's property,
officials said.

"He became belligerent; threw his food on the ground,"
said Capt. Don Breault of the Hudson Police Department.
"The officers wound up charging him with disorderly conduct
and resisting arrest, at which time, he got in a fight with the
officers; threw a punch at one of the officers.
They went to the ground, and a second officer at the scene
actually used a Taser gun on Reagan."

Both police officers suffered minor injuries. Reagan had a
cut on his head that needed nine stitches to close.

Reagan was charged with criminal trespassing and three
counts of simple assault. He was released on $1,000
personal recognizance bail.

Dear Joanne
Yes, all comments re Vita I got so far are unfavorable.
That is exactly why I mentioned a number of times,
that you should stay with XP and skip Vista.

It's not a matter of old dogs, it's a matter of a half
baked operating system.

There is no point in lowering your standards and
learning to live with the shortcomings of Vista.
You will just get more frustrated every day.
Check with HP if you can trade the machine for an XP
machine.

If you can't, write it off as a learning experience.
Buy Windows XP, format the drive (after backing up
the data that you want to keep), and install Windows XP.

You might be able to flog your Vista CD on ebay, but
there is less and less demand for it.

Deeli's Kudos
March 18, 2007 - Superior, Wisconsin - AP

Jeff Rolson is just relieved he didn't get sent to the
principal's office. The 40-something Rolson last week dropped
by Superior Senior High School, where he graduated in 1977,
to get a copy of his transcript for a plumbing apprenticeship.
That's when he found out he had two outstanding debts $7.95
for a missing algebra book and $5 for an unpaid physical
education fee. A secretary told him he had to pay up before
he could get his transcript.

"I told her, 'Do you realize this was 30 years ago?'" he said.

Rolson says he doesn't understand why the school didn't
contact him earlier. After all, he still lives in Superior and his
daughter attends the school.

"Nobody contacted me, so I ended up paying the $13 to get
my transcript," he said.

State law prevents a school district from withholding
documents such as transcripts and diplomas, said district
superintendent Jay Mitchell. But it's not uncommon for
districts to try to collect unpaid fees and fines before
providing documents, he said.

Rolson caught one break, though.

"She did forget the $2 fee for the transcript," he said.

He's also grateful the school didn't charge him interest.

"It was 13 bucks. If they had charged me interest all these
years compounded for 30 years I don't know what the bill
might have been," he said.

Maybe he didn't have the algebra book after all.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Crystal That Repels Dust 
First, wash crystal items and dry them immediately, making
sure that the item is spotless. Using 1/2 of a dryer
softener sheet, gently rub on the crystal. This will leave
a dull residue on it. Use a soft cloth to buff the crystal
to remove the residue. The crystal should gleam and
repel dust.

Thanks to Rubye for this story:

A Florida couple, both well into their 80s, goes to a sex
therapist's office. The doctor asks, "What can I do for you?"

The man says, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?"

The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that
such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that
he agrees.

When the couple finishes, the doctor says,
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have
intercourse."

He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck,
charges them $50, and says good-bye.

The next week, however, the couple returns and asks the
sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit
puzzled, but agrees.

This happens several weeks in a row. The couple makes
an appointment, they have intercourse with no problems,
pay the doctor, then leave.

Finally, after 5 or 6 weeks of this routine, the doctor says,
"I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to
find out?"

The old man says, "We're not trying to find out anything.
She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Dennis Riker, 41, of Hillside, NJ

Dumb place to stash drugs!
March 17, 2007 - Hillside, New Jersey - AP

Police here say a man charged with drug possession had an
unusual place to store his stash: his 6-year-old daughter's
jacket pocket. Dennis Riker, 41, raised suspicions Monday
morning when he stopped by his daughter's school in Hillside,
saying he had left his keys in her jacket.

But the staff at the A.P. Morris School would not let him in
because Riker was not the girl's legal guardian. That role
belonged to the girl's grandmother.

Police said Riker, unbeknownst to the school, called the
woman to ask her to come to the school. Meanwhile, school
officials called her, too, but believed someone else answered
and impersonated the woman. And then, the actual grandmother
arrived, saying she wanted the girl's jacket.

It was all so strange that principal Tracey Wolff called
police to the school. An officer checked the coat and found
25 vials of cocaine and a half-ounce rock of crack in the
pocket inside.

Riker was charged with drug possession with intent to
distribute and possessing drugs within 1,000 feet of a
school. He was being held in municipal jail on $40,000 bail.

The grandmother said her son duped her into asking for
the jacket.

And the 6-year-old? Authorities said she had no idea what
was in her pocket.

"It's unconscionable that an adult would knowingly put drugs
in a child's coat pocket," Police Chief Robert Quinlan told
The Star-Ledger of Newark for Tuesday's newspapers.

Re: Spreadsheet / Monitor

Dear Webby:
I recently bought a new flat panel monitor by ACER. And
since then sometime my MSWorks spreadsheets are black
when I open them! The font is black or Auto. so I can't see
anything unless I have changed the font color. When I exit
Works and re-open the spreadsheet it reverts to the default!
Is there anything I can do to get it right the first time?
And not need to exit & re-open?
Thanks - Geo

Dear George
Keep in mind that MS-WORKS is a replacement for the old
Tandy Deskmate, and is just as old and limited. The problem
obviously is not in the hardware, since you are not changing
the hardware, you are just closing and opening a spreadsheet.

Go to ebay and look for an older Corell Office 9, 10, 11 or 12.
You can get them usually for around $10 - $15. Then you have
the equivalent of Microsoft Office at 1/50 of the cost, and
software that can cope with modern hardware. The included
spreadsheet, Quattro, is many thousands of times better than
the spreadsheet in Deskmate or MS-Works. That should
solve your problem instantly. Quattro can even read Excel
files and even produce Excel files, not just Quattro files.
That makes your spreadsheets compatible with everybody
else's and you are no longer painted into a corner.

Corell Office also includes the full WordPerfect and about
a dozen other programs like calendars, etc. Even version
8 is excellent, and I doubt you would be able to tell the
difference between 9 and 12.

Deeli's Kudos
March 14, 2007 - Murfreesboro, Arkansas - AP

Dr. Hiram Ward, 81, who began his practice in the rural
Arkansas county five years before Pike County Memorial
Hospital was built in 1958, became the hospital's only
medical staff member in January.

Ward provided doctor's care to patients at the 32-bed
hospital by himself until last week when Dr. Tommy Gray,
who lives 148 miles away at Conway, heard about the
hospital's plight and began helping out temporarily,
says hospital administrator Rosemary Fritts.

''I volunteered to come out of retirement,'' Ward says.
''Nobody asked me to. I came back so that our hospital
would stay open.''

The hospital employs 55 people and is the second-largest
employer in Murfreesboro behind the school district.
With the hospital struggling financially, county voters in
December approved a three-eighths-cent sales tax to
boost its revenues.

Although the hospital's patient referral list has declined
with patients referred to larger hospitals in Hot Springs,
Nashville and Texarkana, Ward says there is no substitute
for the kind of care people get at the hospital in
Murfreesboro.

''We have a coronary care unit and we do stabilize people
who have heart attacks and send them off to get bypasses
and stents put in,'' Ward says. ''Quite a few of them would
lose their life if the hospital wasn't here.''

He says some physicians in the new generation don't
know patients. ''They don't know how to correlate the
problem with the patient's environment and their family
setting,'' Ward says. ''The family setting means a lot:
what kind of job you're doing and the situation you are in.
Whether you are getting along with your wife or not.

''We've known these people forever. It's like taking care
of them at home,'' he says. ''It's important to people and
you feel much more secure. A big part of getting better
is the faith you have in the doctor.''

Ward plans to retire — again — as soon as the hospital
signs contracts with two physicians to work there. Hospital
officials say Pike County Memorial will continue to have
physician coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week
as they actively recruit physicians to the area.

A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife: "I have
decided to plant some vegetables in the back garden. When is
the best time to plant them?"

The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail,
replied in a letter, "Dear wife, whatever you do, do not
touch the back garden. That is where the dope dealer next
door buries all his dope and money. He might get upset!"

A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife:
"You won't believe what happened, some men came with shovels
to the house, and dug up all the back garden."

The prisoner wrote another letter: "Dear wife, now is the best
time to plant the vegetables."

A golfer is playing a round of golf with his buddies. On the
sixth hole he proceeds to splash five balls in a row into the
water.

Frustrated over his poor golfing ability, and about ready to
hit somebody, he heaves his golf clubs into the water, and
begins to walk off the course.

Then all of a sudden he turns around and jumps back in the
lake, his buddies apparently thinking he is going to retrieve
his clubs.

When he comes out of the water he doesn't have his clubs and
begins to walk off the course.

One of his buddies asks, "Why did you jump into the lake?"

He responds, "I left my car keys in the bag."

Two women go out one weekend without their husbands.
As they came back, right before dawn, both of them drunk,
they felt the urge to pee. They noticed the only place to stop
was a cemetery. Scared and drunk,they stopped and decided
to go there anyway.

The first one did not have anything to clean herself with, so
she took off her panties and used them to clean herself and
discarded them. The second not finding anything either, thought
"I'm not getting rid of my panties..." so she used the ribbon of a
flower wreath to clean herself.

The morning after, the two husbands were talking to each other
on the phone, and one says to the other: "We have to be on the
look-out, it seems that these two were up to no Good last night,
my wife came home without her panties...".

The other one responded: "You're lucky, mine came home with a
card stuck to her ass that read,
"We will never forget you!

goes to a 45 year old woman in Napier, New Zealand

Officer, I need some jail time,
or at least some education!

March 9, 2007 - Wellington, New Zealand - AP
A middle-aged New Zealand woman rang police to report a
theft of cannabis plants she had been growing in buckets at
her North Island home, local media reported Saturday.

The crying woman told a constable at the police station in
the city of Napier the plant theft was the fourth from her
property in four years. The woman, 45, lamented someone
had again sneaked on to her property at night to steal her
three carefully nurtured marijuana plants.

"I am a good person. I am sick of these low-life's stealing
my things," the woman told a police communications officer.

Senior Sergeant Mal Lochrie told local media late Friday
the officer found it hard not to laugh as the women gave
details of the theft over the phone.

Re: Reversed PIN

Dear Webby:
I received this fwd from a friend of mine and was wondering
if this information is true or just another Internet scam?


Dear BundlePuppy
It's not a scam, since nobody profits from it, but it's not true.

While the Reverse PIN has worked fine for three decades on
burglar alarm and door access systems, the banks are fighting
the Reverse PIN tooth and nail and with heavy lobbying at the
state and federal level.

What is really hypocritical, is that most banks use the
Reverse PIN trick on their door access systems, but spend
big money lobbying against it's use at the ATM level.

Since the ATMs already have a modem and already are
connected, and often also have a separate connection for
a security alarm, it would just be a matter of a few lines of
code in the bank side programming. Instead they use lame
excuses such as that there might some day be a victim who
gets confused during the stress of a hold-up and might not
be able to reverse the number. It's tough luck for the
Billions who would have no problem punching in the PIN in
reverse order, just like they got it written on the back page
of their checkbook.

Deeli's Kudos
March 14, 2007 - Lamont, California - AP

On a sunny day when her fellow college students were
grabbing beach towels and beer, Nathalie Sanchez was
knocking on the doors of farmworkers left jobless after a
freeze killed much of the state's citrus crop.

It's not the first spring break she's spent doing service work
instead of shots. Sanchez was among 10 students from
Loyola Marymount University who spent a week this month
with San Joaguin Valley farmworkers, learning about the history
of the rural labor movement and organizing a food and clothing
drive for out-of-work field hands.

The program — a partnership between Loyola Marymount and the
Dolores Huerta Foundation, a Bakersfield-based nonprofit named
for the co-founder of the United Farm Workers union — is among
a growing number of ''alternative'' spring breaks in which students
skip the boozy revelry in favor of volunteer work.

In the past, Sanchez traveled to the Dominican Republic for
a fair trade coffee effort and to Guatemala to help with
community development in a Mayan village. This year, the senior
art major from Cudahy stayed closer to home. Lamont, the
farming community she visited, is about 110 miles north of
her school's Los Angeles campus.

''We understand there are issues that affect communities
that are in our own country, and here, in our own state,''
Sanchez said.

In this city of about 13,000, the everyday concerns include
pesticide drift and organizing to fight for better wages. But
these days the main topic of conversation is the cold snap,
which somehow does not seem to fit with the fashionable
Global Warming hysteria.

Several days of subfreezing temperatures in January ruined
more than $1 billion worth of citrus and other crops, according
to the state, the most devastating blow to the industry in more
than a decade. As many as 28,000 laborers lost their jobs.

Sanchez and the other students sorted donated clothes and
filled boxes with bread and canned food for farmworkers.
They went door to door assessing needs and telling workers
about the food and clothing giveaway.

The doctor exclaimed, "Wow, 78. How do you stay so

explained, "Well, my wife and I made a pact when we got
married that whenever she got mad she would go into the

There's a fellow who is an avid golfer. Actually he's a golf
fanatic. Every Saturday morning he has an early tee time. He
gets up very early and golf's all day long.

Well, this one Saturday morning, he gets up early, dresses
quietly, gets his clubs out of the closet, and goes out to his
car to drive to the course. It is raining a torrential downpour.
There is snow mixed with the rain and the wind is blowing
50 mph.

He comes back into the house and turns the TV to the weather
channel. From there he finds that it's supposed to be bad
weather all day long. So he puts his clubs back into the closet,
quietly undresses and slips back into bed where he cuddles
up to his wife's back, and whispers, "The weather out there
is terrible."

She replies, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out there
golfing?"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to the town council in Blackpool, England

Not our sand
March 8, 2007 - Blackpool, Lancashire, UK - Ananova

A Blackpool pensioner has been threatened with legal action
if he puts sand which blew into his garden back on the beach.

Council officials threatened to prosecute Arthur Bulmer, 79,
who lives opposite the beach in St Anne's, Lancs, for
fly-tipping.

And if found guilty he could be fined £50,000 or even go to
jail, reports the Mirror.

Storms left gardens, roads and footpaths in St Anne's covered
in tons of sand up to 20ft deep.

Mr Bulmer said: "I think it's crazy. I am sure my sand is
cleaner than the stuff on the beach because that gets covered
in dog muck. The sand is not my property. It has just invaded
my garden from over the road."

The civic-minded pensioner said he was just trying to do what
is right for the environment and save the council a job.

He added: "Now I will have to use a specialist waste disposal
firm and that will cost £500."

Fylde borough council said: "The council has no responsibility
to clear sand from private land, the owner must do this. However,
dumping anything from your garden on to the beach constitutes
fly-tipping."

Re: Hard to see cursor

Dear Webby,
the only reason my dad has not fired his new laptop out the
window is because he has just replaced all windows and know
how expensive they are. His problem is that the cursor jumps
to weird places and is hard to find. How can that be fixed?
Elaine

Dear Elaine
Buy him a proper mouse. My favorite is the regular, corded
Microsoft 5 button Intellimouse. They are about $12 - $15.
Then cut a piece of cardboard and cover up the silly
thumb-pad on the laptop. It is intended for emergency use
only. You COULD turn it off in the settings, but then he is
really are up the creek without a paddle, if the cat chews
through the mouse cable, or if he forgets to pack the mouse.
Just cut a piece of stiff cardboard or an old credit card to
just snap in there and cover the thumb pad.

That stops him from sending the curser to inappropriate
places every time his thumb accidentally touches it.

The final step is to go into Conrol Panel, Mouse
Pointer Options, Visibility, and put a checkmark into each
of the options, especially the last one:
"Show Location of pointer when I press the CTRL key"

That briefly shows concentric target rings whenever he hits
the CTRL key. Even if the cursor is in a totally unxpected
area, that brief flicker of the target rings make it easy
to find.

Freeze Cake Layers
After your cake layers have cooled, put them in the freezer
for an hour or two before frosting them. This way, they will
firm up and won't crack and crumble when you apply the
frosting. You can even freeze layers in advance for a big
party so you have time for other preparations.

When he got to the first one, he asked the madame,
"Is this a union house?"

"No, it isn't."

"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20."

Highly offended at such unfair dealings, the man stomped
off down the street in search of a more equitable shop.

His search continued for a while, until he finally he reached a
brothel where the madame said,
"Why yes, this is a union house."

"And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The girls get $50 and the house gets $50."

"That's more like it!" the man said. He looked around the
room and pointed to a stunningly attractive redhead.

Starting the copying a bit too early

March 9, 2007 - London - Reuters
Candidates for British universities have been caught
red-handed copying their applications from the Internet after
hundreds mentioned "burning a hole in pajamas at age eight"
on their online entrance forms.

The phrase, taken from a Web site which provides examples
of personal statements used by successful candidates,
describes an early encounter with a chemistry set.
Medical course applications from 370 others contained
statements beginning with "a fascination for how the human
body works" and 175 included anecdotes which involved
"an elderly or infirm grandfather."

A study published on Wednesday by UCAS, the Universities
and Colleges Admissions Service, found that five percent of
the 50,000 personal statements surveyed at random contained
"borrowed material," lifted mostly from one free Web site:

In October, the Indians asked their Chief if the coming
winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing
the answer, the chief replied that the winter will be
cold and that the members of the village should collect
wood to be prepared.

A week later, being a good leader, he then went
to his computer and emailed the National Weather Service
and asked, "Is this winter going to be cold?"

Somebody at the National Weather Service responded,
"This winter is indeed going to be very cold."

So the Chief went back to encourage his people to collect
even more wood to be prepared. A week later he emailed the
National Weather Service again, and asked again, "Is it
going to be a very cold winter?"

"Yes," they replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief went back to his people and ordered them to
go out and bring back every scrap of wood they could
find.

Two weeks later he emailed the National Weather Service
again. "Are you absolutely sure that this winter is
going to be very cold?"

"Absolutely," they replied, "the Indians are collecting
wood like crazy!"

Well, when the winter turned out to be milder than usual,
they called it "Global Warming" and blamed Bush.

Working as a secretary at an international airport, my sister had
an office adjacent to where security temporarily holds suspects.

One day security officers were questioning a man when they were
suddenly called away on another emergency. To the horror of my
sister and her colleagues, the man was left alone in the unlocked
room. After a few minutes, the door opened, and he began to
walk out. Summoning up her courage, one of the secretaries barked,
"Get back in there, and don't come out until you're told!"

The man scuttled back inside and slammed the door. When the
security people returned, the woman reported what had happened.

Without a word, an officer walked into the room and released one
very frightened telephone repairman.

out and that one should replace them about as often as one
does the computer - every 3 yrs if budget allows (grin).
True or not?

2. At work, it used to be the practice to use the on/off
switch on surge protectors/power strips to turn off computers.
"Back when" we were always told it was a lot cheaper to
replace a power strip with worn out switch than it was to
repair a worn out on/off button on a computer.  Then folks
started saying that that was a stupid idea, since "how could
a surge protector do it's job if it wasn't turned on?".

3) Do you know whether a computer is still protected if the
surge protector is turned off?

(At home we don't debate this.  Since  we have a lot of
storms, the practice has been to just unplug anything
electronic and expensive.)

Thanks from a fan!
Tory

Dear Tory
1) Cheap surge protected power strips usually have a light
or lighted switch. When their suicide transistor has given
it's life while protecting your equipment, the light flickers or,
with some models, does not light. You can still use it for
power tools and lights, but it won't protect delicate equipment
from surges any more.

2) The power switch on a computer is $1.29 retail, the power
strip is $9.95
Strange math they used there!

However, if there were people around, who could not be
relied on to turn their machine off, then of course a common
power strip or breaker does make sense. In the days of 10"
greenie monitors and the IBM DisplayWrite menu permanently
burned into the screens from people leaving their machines
on all year, I installed quite a few switches and contactors, so
that the last one out could axe all the computers on that floor.
In those days, that was a valid concern.

3) When the power strip is turned off, then normally only
the ground wire is still connected. That makes it perfectly
safe. The white wire is grounded at the breaker panel, and
only the black wire can bring in any surges or spikes. When
that wire is disconncted at the power strip switch, nothing
can get to the computer.

Keep in mind that with modern computers the ON/OF switch
is "soft". Shutting the computer down does not completely
turn it off. If you open the side cover, you will see a tiny green
dot of light on the motherboard. Any surge or spike can kill
the power supply instantly. If the machine is out of warranty,
then you are out of luck. Your way of unplugging the computer
or turning the power strip off during storms or before going
on vacation is most definitely a good idea.

Have FUN!

March 12, 2007 - Weymouth, Dorset, UK - Ananova
A Dorset man surprised his girlfriend by asking her to marry
him on the big screen at their local cinema.
The audience were settling down to watch a movie in Weymouth
when Tom Lane's homemade film appeared after the trailers.

His girlfriend Tina Kilford watched as it began with Mr. Lane
wearing a dinner jacket and holding up a card reading
'Hi Tina'.

The 39-year-old youth worker persuaded bosses at Cineworld
to show the movie he spent six weeks making, reports Sky
News.

Tom and Miss Kilford, 36, had been invited out to celebrate
her birthday by her friends, who were in on the act.
Staff at the cinema ushered Mr. Lane in to the theatre by
the fire doors and hid him from sight until his big moment.

The final card was shown on the screen saying "I'm sure
you want me to do this in person. I'm right behind you."

Hairdresser Miss Kilford turned around to see him getting
down on one knee and taking a ring out of his pocket.

The audience of around a dozen people burst into applause
when she said yes.

Mr. Lane said: "I wasn't 100% sure that she would want me
to propose in that way but she absolutely loved the fact it
was on the big screen. She wasn't expecting it at all.

March 14, 2007 - Nassau County, New York - Sun Sentinel

The advertisement on Craigslist New York said the man would
supply cocaine to any female who responded.

Well, detectives from the Garden City Police Department
were no doubt stunned when they found the ad. They contacted
detectives from the Nassau County Police Department narcotics
bureau, who had a female officer respond to the advertisement
and arrange to meet the man.

Nassau police said when Joshua W. O'Neil, 32, of Albany, met
the female officer Tuesday night in Garden City, he offered
her crack cocaine in exchange for "sexual favors."

The only "favor" O'Neil received, police said, was being
placed under arrest.

O'Neil was charged with third-degree criminal sale of a
controlled substance and criminal possession of a controlled
substance with intent to sell.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in First District

Re: Error 1720

Dear Webby,
hello my friend.
do you know how to fix the " 1720 error " ?
thanks,
daniel

Dear Daniel
The 1720 error can be due to all kinds of things,
but usually indicates hard drive trouble.

If your machine is a Compaq, you will probably have
to replace the drive soon. Back up anything worth
keeping, and get ready for a drive failure in the near
future. Reformatting and re-installing all software
apparently does not fix this error. It's a serious
complaint from the hardware department.

On other computers that message can indicate
pirated software, damaged installation downloads,
or a bad Windows program installer, the program
that handles the installation of new software.

Recently a new Windows Installer was released.

March 14, 2007 - Walland, Tennessee - AP

A young beagle stranded on a mountain ledge proved a bark
can be better than a bite by repeatedly howling until help arrived.
A six-man team from the Blount County Fire Department trekked
two hours through thick undergrowth on Tuesday to reach a
ridge 30 feet above the dog near the Foothills Parkway,
bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Then firefighter John Matlock rappelled down to the foot-wide
ledge where the dog was stranded, overlooking a sheer drop
of about 125 feet below.

Matlock tucked the pooch in a red bag and, with help from his
fellow firefighters, brought the dog back to the top. The
beagle was thin and thirsty but OK.

A group of cheerleaders from Heritage High School had camped
across the highway the night before and complained they couldn't
get any sleep because of the dog's howls.

After watching the rescue, they did what cheerleaders do.
They cheered.

The dog's owner, Katie Wilkinson of Walland, claimed the dog
Wednesday after he had been taken to an animal shelter.
She said the beagle disappeared March 9.

The dog's name is Hass, short for Hasenfeffer.

Randy Ball, who lives nearby, said he'd heard the dog's howls
through the woods for four days. It was Ball and property
owner Max Walker, grandfather of one of the cheerleaders,
who decided Tuesday to mount the rescue and call in the
firefighters.

Ball said he figures the beagle, which had a collar but no
tags, became stuck on the ledge while chasing a deer or
an other animal.

When traveling by air, put a brightly colored ribbon on

be sure to spot them on the first go around. By Delores

Guess who started that ?
Yes, you are right, good ol Dear Webby,
in the early 70's. Every time I travel, I am surprised at
how many people still have not caught on to that trick.

Since about 1995 I also have my laminated business card,
which has my picture on it, epoxied to every piece of
luggage, my camera and my laptop.

You can print your own business cards or luggage tags and
have them laminated at Staples for a dollar, or order them
on-line. In Canada it's Item # 45383 at http://staples.ca
In the US it's Item # 889545 at http://staples.com
In other countries look for "SelfSeal Luggage Tag"

As you can easily imagine, that eliminates any confusion
or argument about who an item belongs to.

A synagogue had just opened for business, while at the same time a Catholic

The Rabbi called together his staff and expressed his concern,
"We've been here the same amount of time as our neighbors and look,
they have grown, while we still have our same small temple.
What are we doing wrong?"

And so it was decided, they would send Morris to attend a service
on Sunday and check out what was going on over there.

Sunday came and all the men from the congregation were peeking through
the windows as Morris entered the church.  Not 15 minutes later, Morris
came flying across the street, yelling and waving his arms.

"So what happened?" asked the Rabbi.

"Oy, you wouldn't believe it," said Morris.  "I go into the church, I sit
down, then from the left a guy in a dress comes out onto the stage and
he's chanting, 'I can play dominoes better than you can. I can play

Re: Computer power cords

Dear Webby,
Are powercords interchangeable? My friend gave his computer
to check out, but forgot to give me his power cord. Could I
use my power cord instead? I have a cord for a 350V power
supply and the power supply for his computer is 250V. Would
be okay to switch out power cords?
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Chris
yes, sure!
Power cords are standard.
If you can stuff it into the socket, it will work.

Since your household voltage is 110 Volt,
it's nice that the cord doesn't start leaking and
drooling electrons onto the carpet until 250V or 350V,
but any rating from 110V and up is fine.

Power cords that have a female plug
that looks like this one, and have a male plug
that fits the wall socket, can be safely used
anywhere in the world. The power supply
often has a little red slide switch, sometimes
covered with tape, that lets you select the voltage
of your country. But if the cord fits, use it.

March 14, 2007 - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - AP

A 17-year-old girl won a scholarship worth $100,000 for
building an inexpensive yet accurate spectrograph that
identifies the ''fingerprints'' of different molecules.

Mary Masterman, a senior at Westmoore High School in
Oklahoma City, was named the winner Tueday of the annual
Intel Science Talent Search.

More than 1,700 high school seniors across the nation entered
the contest, which is in its 66th year.

Spectrographs, which measure wave lengths, are used in
research such as astronomy and medicine and in industry.
For example, they can be used as a sensing device to look
for explosives or drugs or to help determine how old an art
work is through its pigments.

They can cost as much as $100,000, but Masterman's invention —
made of lenses, a laser, aluminum tubing and a camera —
cost less than $1,000, Intel said.

Masterman received the honor from Intel Corp. Chairman
Craig Barrett during a banquet Tuesday night in Washington.

a fool of myself - what's your excuse?"

Thanks to Deeli's Bonehead reports:
An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Jonathan Zaletel, 19, of Chandler, Arizona

Cooked!

March 9, 2007 - Chandler, Arizona - AP
A man who started a small fire while cooking methamphetamine
drove to a Wal-Mart to buy a fire extinguisher when he
couldn't put out the flames, sheriff's deputies said.

Jonathan Zaletel, 19, was greeted by Maricopa County
deputies when he returned to his condominium late
Tuesday, Lt. Paul Chagolla said.

The flames had been extinguished by a sprinkler system, and
arriving firefighters found a small meth lab in the closet.
A toaster being used to cook the drug had caught fire,
Chagolla said, and Zalatel had tried putting it out using water
and window cleaner before deciding to go buy the fire
extinguisher.

Zalatel was booked on suspicion of manufacturing dangerous
drugs, possession of chemicals and equipment to manufacture
dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia,
possession of marijuana and criminal damage.

A housewife with three young children was getting dinner ready
when the phone rang. The six-year-old picked it up and said, "Hi,
Daddy!" and she began telling him about her day.

She then passed the phone to her brother and sister as was the
custom whenever Daddy called from work.

When it was finally the wife's turn to talk she took the receiver
and said, "Hi, hon."

"Thank goodness, lady," the voice on the other end replied. "I
just called to tell you that the wallpaper you ordered is here!"

A woman goes to Italy to attend a 2-week, company training
session. Her husband drives her to the airport and wishes her to
have a good trip.

The wife answers, "Thank you honey, what would you like me to
bring for you?"

The husband laughs and says, "An Italian girl!"

The woman kept quiet and left.

Two weeks later he picks her up in the airport and asks "So,
honey, how was the trip?"

"Very good, thank you".

"And, what happened to my present?".

"Which present?"

"What I asked for....the Italian girl?

"Oh, that? Well, I did what I could, now we have to wait a few
months to see if it is a girl!!!"

Re: No mail going out via neighbor's wireless

Dear Webby,
I don't know whether it is the same problem, but MY mail
won't go out when I try to send it on my neighbor's wireless
connection.  My technician says it isbecause the wireless
system does not recognize my (landline) configuration.
However, I do not understand why I cannot get my bank's
website. (????)  I just figured that tomorrow I'll get onto
my sister's wireless connection with her computer.
(I AM ON VACATION.)

Dear Mary
You have to change the SMTP server name in your mail config
to show the SMTP server normally used by your neighbor's computer.
For example, if your neighbor connects to the net via earthlink, then
you would have to set the SMTP server name to smtp.earthlink.net.

Your bank probably uses a similar verification scheme.

Have FUN!

March 12, 2007 - Switzerland - Ananova

A beauty pageant for pensioners - entitled Miss Retirement
Home - has been launched in Switzerland.

Organizer Laurent Rerat came up with the idea as a protest
against the popular obsession with youth.
The only criteria to enter was that the candidate could walk
without an aid, had to be aged over 70, and lived alone.

It was won by Leontine Vallade, from Geneva, who succeeded
against nine other candidates from five nursing homes.

Vallade refused to reveal her age when asked by journalists,
but had to prove she was over 70 to qualify. She convinced
the jury with "her smile and her charm".

Vallade won a dinner in a luxury restaurant.
Mr. Rerat is now planning a Mr. Retirement Home.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Preparing Flour for Gravy
In a small saucepan, brown flour you will need over low heat.
Stir constantly until flour is light to medium brown in color.
Sift into a large measuring bowl. Add very hot water and
stir, making sure there are no lumps. Pour the mixture
into your meat essence, and season to taste. By Carla
Alternatively, you might want to try
DearWebby's method.
Sautee finely chopped onions in real butter until a uniform
hazelnut brown. Don't go checking email during that, or
the onion bits will get bitter, black edges.

Sprinkle a level teaspoon of flour and one of paprika
over the onions and stir until all butter is absorbed and
the onions are nicely coated.

Stand well back and pour a cup-size ladle of cold water or
beef stock into the hot pan. There will be a miniature steam
explosion, so make sure you stand back and use a ladle
for that! That steam explosion tears apart all flour balls and
activates the paprika. When used properly, paprika is a great
spice, not just a decoration. Add salt and whatever herbs
and spices are appropriate for the meal you are cooking
and let it simmer a bit.

When I don't have beef stock or roast drippings, I use Watkins
beef soup mix. It doesn't have MSG like almost all other
soup and gravy mixes.

The resulting gravy is a very flavorful, thin, european style
gravy. If you need a tame, Southern style, thick gravy, use
Carla's recipe.

Have FUN!

The young mother wanted so much to be a part of her teenage children's
group. She worked hard at learning all the styles the young mothers wore
and all foods the children like to eat.

She always tried to look young and spiffy and to have an abundant supply
of snacks when the gang dropped by. She even learned how to talk "young"
learning all the buzz words and hip sayings.

One day all this came to a screeching halt when, after serving the right
snacks, she heard herself say to a room full of hormone dripping
teenagers, "If anyone want secs, just let me know. I'll be in the
kitchen getting it ready."

An old country farmer with serious financial problems bought
a mule from another old farmer for $100, who agreed to
deliver the mule the next day.
However, the next day he drove up and said, "Sorry, but I
have some bad news: The mule died."
"Well, then, just give me my money back."
Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
"OK, then. Just unload the mule."
"What ya gonna do with a dead mule?"
"I'm going to raffle him off."
"You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
"Sure I can. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month later the two met up and the farmer who
sold the mule asked,
"Whatever happened with that dead mule?"
"I raffled him off just like I said I would.
I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a net profit
of $898."
"Didn't anyone complain?"
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
