Church service coincided with the last day of hunting
season. The pastor asked who had bagged a deer.
No one raised a hand.
Puzzled, the pastor said, "I don't get it. Last Sunday
many of you said you were missing because of
hunting season. I had the whole congregation pray for
your deer."
One hunter groaned, "Well, it worked. The deer are all safe.
Next time pray for the hunters!"
A man went on a ski trip, and was knocked
unconscious by the chair lift. He called his insurance
company from the hospital, but it refused to cover his
injury.
"Why is the injury not covered?" he asked.
"You got hit in the head by a chair lift," the insurance
rep said.
"That makes you an idiot, and we consider that a pre-
existing condition."

Re: Does McAfee slow down your computer?
Dear Webby,
Question about McAfee. Does it slow down you
computer when running ordinary programs? Or
is it only a problem on rare occasions?
Thanks, Margee :)

Dear Margee
You can schedule the scanning for times when you are not
doing anything strenuous, however, a scan doesn't slow down
things very much anyway.
The update downloads naturally slow down other downloads,
that you try to do at the same time. If you are downloading a 2 GB
movie at the same time, on slow dial-up, it all has to come through
your modem. If you are trying to do some fast shopping at the
some time, it will be frustratingly slow. But that is because your
modem can handle only so much traffic.
That applies to ANY virus protection, not just McAfee. McAfee
probably sends updates a bit more often than others, but on a
fast connection you barely notice it.
Have FUN!

A freshman walked into the campus bookstore.
Questioning the store clerk about a book for one of
his classes, the clerk responded, "This is the book
you want for that class. It will do half the work for
you!"
"Great," the young man replied, "I'll take two."
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Celebrate!
Develop a sense of occasion! Life is so much nicer when broken
up with little celebrations, for birthdays, anniversaries and the
other holidays throughout the year. You don't have to fall victim
to the advertising hype. Just have simple but heartfelt festive
touches and maybe some feasting! Being careful with your
money doesn't mean that you have to be grim!

The Father, passing thru the son's college town late
one night on a business trip, thought he would pay a
surprise visit to the boy.
Arriving at the fraternity house, he knocked on the
door. After several minutes of knocking, a sleepy
voice drifted down from a second floor window.
"Whaddya want?"
"Does Jimmy Duncan live here?" asked the father.
"Yeah!" replied the voice. "Just dump him on the front
porch as usual. We'll hose him down and try to sober
him up in the morning."

Right outside her front door, Joe's mother had
a thermometer that never seemed to tell the correct
temperature. One chilly day, we all noticed that the
thermometer, which was in direct sunlight, read a
balmy 72 degrees.
"Mom," Joe's wife suggested without thinking, "you
should stick that thing where the sun doesn't shine."
