Good Morning, !
It's Saturday, June 11
Yesterday morning, at about the time you read your Humor Letter,
the Saskatoons looked their brightest, to lure bees from as far away
as possible.
Sure looks like a good crop of berries to look forward to!

A priest and a rabbi operated a church and a synagogue across
the street from each other. Since their schedules intertwined,
they decided to go in together to buy a car.
After the purchase, they drove it home and parked it on the
street between them.
A few minutes later, the rabbi looked out and saw the priest
sprinkling water on their new car. It didn't need a wash,
so he hurried out and asked the priest what he was doing.
"I'm blessing it," the priest replied.
The rabbi considered this a moment, then went back inside
the synagogue. He reappeared a moment later with a hacksaw,
walked over to the back of the car and cut off two inches of
the tailpipe.

mental health and was giving a test.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Stuart Feltham, 23, from Swindon, Wiltshire, England
Brit 'flasher' was set on fire by Greek woman
Stuart Feltham, 23, from Swindon, Wiltshire, suffered second
degree burns after 26-year-old student Marina Fanouraki
allegedly splashed Sambuca, a flammable alcoholic drink
at his bare front and set fire to him with a lighter, when he
flashed and groped her.
The woman will appear in court today in the city of Iraklion,
in northern Crete, charged with assault.
According to reports, she said she was acting in self-defence
after the man exposed himself to a number of women in a bar,
and then groped her against her wishes.
The story has made national headlines in Greece, where some
have hailed the woman as a heroine. A Foreign Office
spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that in the early hours of
Tuesday a 23-year-old British male national was assaulted in Crete.
"We understand he suffered burns on his chest and abdomen."
Stuart Feltham did not stick around to appear in court and fled
back to England, where he lives with his parents.
His father claims the poor innocent boy suffered a totally
unprovoked attack and did not flash and grope anybody.

Re: What is needed to phone over the net?
Hi Mr Webby;
I have been having some serious issues with AT&T's U-verse.
I have had already 10 tech's out to my house because of no
picture on my tv, freezing up, resetting the box every time it
rains, and to top it off I have found out that I am at the end
loop as they call it..... which means that everyone on the
block in front of us who has subscribed to this u-verse is
drawing the same signal off of the old telephone line.
So now this is also why I am having issues.
But I think I know how to deal with them..... anyways this
will be my new email address... and I had asked you a
question about online telephone...
I mean I saw the magic jack, but there were a lot of
mixed reviews... and Vonage.... well I don't know much
about this.... and now with "Google Talk" can you shed
some new light on these questions.....?
Thank you for your great news letter.... keep em
coming.
Eddie
Dear Eddie
First you need to get your line fixed, so that you have
reliable TV reception. Until then, everything else is a
waste of time and money.
AT&T U-Verse has the AT&T version of Vonage or
Magic Jack built in, and for $89 a month, you can
theoretically use it.
However, it sounds like the lines in your area are
hopelessly overloaded, and that method will never
work properly for you.
Try some company, that uses TV Cable instead of
ancient and inadequate phone lines.
The problems, when it rains, are a definite indicator that
your lines are old and get water crackle. You will not
even get reliable high speed Internet over those lines,
never mind TV and all that other promised stuff.
Those old crackly lines are just barely good enough for
low speed dial-up. That's all.
Have FUN!

Not far from me we have a friend who raises Brahma
Bulls. I asked how he got them to breed so well, since
he has a nice herd. He said that he gave the bulls
potency pills.
I asked what the pills were made of.
He said "I don't really know, but they taste like chocolate."
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Milk Jug for Organizing Plastic Bags
An easy way to store your plastic grocery bags is in an old,
clean plastic milk jug. Most of these milk jugs have an
indented circle on one side. Just cut out the circle and
stuff in the bags. It will hold many bags and is easy to
store.

A young boy was kneeling by his bed and saying his
prayers and asked God to make him a good boy. The
boy's father, passing by the bedroom, overheard his
son praying, "And make me a good boy, if You can.
And if You can't, don't worry about it, 'cause I'm
having a lot of fun being a nuisance."
