Good Morning, !
Today is Friday, March 15.
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!
I found it hilarious how various wanna-be authorities
are predicting what the new pope is going to do.
They are all wrong.
Sure, he is originally an Italian, became a Jesuit, an
intellectual storm trooper, in germany, and became
very close to the Franciscan order and a bishop and
cardinal in South America.
However, he retired from all that, because he felt he was
too old.
What does all that sum up to?
As a former Italian he is not about to raise much of a fuss
about Mafia investments in the Vatican bank.
His youthful Jesuit passion for modernisation has mellowed
a long time ago and changed to Franciscan conservatism,
probably when he realized that fighting the inner circle of
old cardinals in Rome leads to nowhere.
He almost got elected last time, because he is so obedient
to the inner circle. He just helps the poor, and stays out
of hotheaded discussions about modern topics like condoms.
He lets others incur the wrath and the vetoes of the inner
circle. Even benedict didn't get anywhere trying to use logic.
He was told that the pope is the spokesman for the cabinet,
the back office, not the dictator.
That seems to be fine for Francis I.
I don't expect any fundamental changes while he is pope,
but I would be VERY surprised, if the long neglected
Franciscans and Grey Clares didn't get their funding
updated.
Have FUN!

It is well to remember that the entire universe,
with one trifling exception, is composed of others.

The surprising thing about young fools is how many survive
to become old fools.

A very elderly but bright-eyed gentleman, very well dressed,
hair well groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel
smelling slightly of after shave, walks into an upscale
cocktail lounge. Seated at the bar is an elderly looking
lady tricked out in a modest but very becoming cocktail
dress.
The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her, orders a
drink, turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here
often?"
Turbo-Tomatoes! High Speed lettuce!
Have I got a deal for you!
Aquaponics is on special for $19 instead of the normal $97!
What's Aquaponics? Isn't that the top secret technology
some pros use to grow medicinal herbs and stuff in half the
time and two to ten times the crop per square foot?
Yes, it sure is!
It is the technology of combining a fish tank, that produces
all the nutrients the plants need, with hydroponics, that
cleans that stuff out of the water and preps it for the fish.
Very neat and clean WIN-WIN deal!
You don't need a shark tank on your balcony. The book
tells you how small a fish tank is enough for your tomatoes
and carrots and parsley and mushrooms and herbs.
If you have a closet, balcony, or garden space, grab
Aquaponics, while it is on sale!
AND, they throw in $300 worth of additional books!
By the way, there is no weeding necessary with Aquaponics!
The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex.
This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you
have sex until you are blue in the face.
The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. This is when
you have been with your partner for a short time and you are
so horny you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.
The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. This is when
you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has
gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.
The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex. This is when
you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass
each other in the hallway you both say "screw you."
The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex, which means
you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and
Nun at night.
The 6th kind is called Courtroom Sex. This is when you
cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and
screws you in front of everyone
And last, but not least, the 7th kind of sex is called:
Social Security Sex. You get a little each month. But not
enough to live on.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to
Wendy Tucker, 56, Barnegat, NJ
Jailed after flashing security cameras
-- Police in New Jersey said they arrested a woman accused
of flashing her breasts to security cameras being monitored
by dispatchers.
Barnegat police said dispatchers saw Wendy Tucker, 56,
"get out of a car in the middle of Lexington Boulevard, pull
up her shirt and bra, exposing her breasts while facing
several security cameras" around 2 a.m. Wednesday, the
Asbury Park (N.J.) Press reported Tuesday.
Lt. Keith Germain said the video footage also depicts Tucker
"looking up at the cameras while extending her middle fingers
to the cameras."
Patrolman Michael Diblasi located Tucker's car and took her
into custody. Police said she was wanted on an outstanding
warrant from Atlantic County and was charged with an additional
count of lewdness.
Because of her relation to some higher-ups, they declined to
provide a mug shot. "The Raw Story" provided this picture,
which seems to be from a few years ago.

Dear Webby
Your trick with listing the files in a folder works great!
My problem is that when I print it, it usually leaks a few
lines over onto a second page. How can I stop that without
deleting any lines?
Thanks
Sammie
Dear Sammie
In the spreadsheet or word processor, hit
CTRL A to select All, or highlight everything
except for the headlines,
then change the font to a smaller font family, like
for example Calibri or Tunga, and maybe reduce the point
size.
Then make sure there are no fragments like calculations,
shopping lists or phone numbers further down.
If there are, and you want to keep them,
highlight just what you want to print,
then click on Print PreView.
Most likely it will now fit onto one page quite nicely.
When you print, make sure you select
Selection Only
Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Fixing a Slow Tub Drain
For slow drains in old houses, pour a bottle of bleach down
the tub drain once a month in the evening (every 5 weeks
for the bathroom sink). In the morning, heat up a tea
kettle and pour one gallon of water down the drain. Aim
for the drain (or use a funnel), so as not to crack
porcelain. This works only on slow drains.

Nervous about having to MC a relative's or friend's wedding?
Get the Wedding MCWedding MC book.
It includes all the jokes and coaching you need
to be a smash hit!
This one is attributed to melvin Durai, but probably has
been edited over the years.
I've been watching the reports from China, the ones about
the gender imbalance and all those young men having trouble
finding brides, and I can't help wondering what their
parents and others were thinking when they chose, through
abortion and abandonment, to avoid having female children.
Perhaps they thought they could provide other options to
their sons.
Son: "My dear parents, I am ready to get married. Please
help me find a bride."
Mother: "You are ready to get married already? But my son,
you are only 50. Can't you wait a few more years?"
Father: "Your mother speaks with the wisdom of age, son. If
you wait a few more years, there will be more brides
available. The government is opening special laboratories to
create more females. It is a process called cloning."
Son: "But they are cloning sheep. I do not want to marry a
sheep."
Mother: "Son, you are 50. You cannot be too choosy."
Father: "Your mother speaks with the wisdom of age, son. You
should look at the positive side: A sheep has plenty of
wool. It will keep you warm at night."
Son: "No, I can't do it. I can't settle for anything but a
human."
Father: "You have high standards, son. But we expected this.
That is why we've made arrangements to introduce you to
someone special."
Son: "Someone special? Is this really true, Father?"
Father: "Yes, it's true, son. We will introduce you to a
special inspector named Ying-Ming. He is looking for a
companion too."
Son: "Did you say 'he'? I hope you meant to say 'she'!"
Father: "He, she, what's the difference? Together, you will
still be 'we.' Ying-Ming is very rich, son. While most
Chinese men have been busy searching for brides, he has been
busy searching for bribes."
Son: "But I do not want a 'he'! I am straight!"
Mother: "Opposites attract, my son. You are straight and he
is crooked. You will be happy together."
Father: "Your mother speaks with the wisdom of age, son. You
should look at the positive side: Ying-Ming has plenty of
wool blankets. He will keep you warm at night. What do you
say, son?"
Son: "How soon will the cloning take place?"
Father: "Ah, that's better, son. I knew you would come
around. It's important to be open-minded. There are only a
few brides and their demands are impossibly high: they want
a man who is not just rich and handsome, but who also stops
his car to ask for directions."
Mother: "In all my years, I have never met such a man."
Son: "Not on this planet. But how did this happen, this
terrible shortage of women?"
Father: "I blame it on the government. They created the
one-child policy to control the population. They knew we
would turn it into the one-boy policy, which would really
control the population. Don't blame us: all we wanted was
one boy."
Son: "Don't blame me: All I want is one girl. Is it an
impossible dream?"
Father: "Well, there are two other options. You can find
another man, put your savings together, and pay for a sex
change operation. Ying-Ming does not want to do it. We
already asked. But he is willing to wear a dress on
weekends. He will even shave his mustache -- if you insist."
Son: "Ying-Ming is a ding-a-ling. What's the other option?"
Father: "You can go to America."
Son: "America? Are there many brides there?"
Father: "Well, once you are settled in America, you can do
what many American men do: get yourself a mail-order bride
from Russia or the Philippines."
