It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly
unless one has plenty of work to do.

It has to be confessed that the minister was rather long-winded.
During his sermon a young wife of the congregation remembered
that she had left the Sunday dinner in the gas range without
turning down the flame. She hastily wrote a note and slipped
it to her husband, who was an usher.
He, thinking it was for the minister, calmly walked up and laid
it on the pulpit. The minister paused, took the note with a smile,
which turned into a terrific frown as he read:
"Please hurry home and shut off the gas."
The policeman was walking his beat when he saw
two men fighting and a little boy standing alongside
them crying, "Daddy, Daddy!"
The officer pulled the two men apart and, turning to
the boy, asked, "Which one is your father, lad?"
"I don't know," the boy said, rubbing tears from his
eyes. "They are fighting about which one isn't!"

Corey Starks, 38, Port orford, Oregon
Jailed for Burying Father Under Motor Home So He
Could Collect Father's Social Security Checks
Reported by The Weekly Vice
Corey Theodore Starks, a 38-year-old Port Orford man, was
jailed after he allegedly buried his father under a trailer,
then continued to collect his social security checks.
According to police, an investigation was launched after
authorities found the bones of an elderly man who became
deceased three years ago and was then buried under his own
motor home.
The victim's son, Corey Starks, later admitted to burying
his father under the trailer because he was unemployed and
wanted to collect his father's social security checks.
Starks reportedly collected more than $50,000 in benefits
checks before the scam was finally uncovered.
Investigators say 74-year-old Charles Starks' remains were
found at the Anchor Inn RV park in Port Orford where he
lived from 2009 to 2010. The body was discovered when the
lot owner thought the trailer had been abandoned and was in
the process of having it removed.
Corey Starks claims his father died of natural causes, however
at least one witness in the case told detectives that she
believes Corey Starks killed his father.
Charles Starks remains were sent to Eugene, Oregon for autopsy
and reconstruction. The official cause has not yet been
determined.
Starks was booked into jail and charged with second-degree
abuse of a corpse. The case is still under investigation
and further charges may be pending, including the fraud
charges.

Re: Japanese spam
Dear Webby,
Lately I am getting a lot of Japanese spam in my Gmail.
Yes, I know, MailWasher can get rid of it, but I want to
be able to filter it out right on Gmail (at work, where
I don't have MailWasher).
Is there a way to do it, like I do on MailWasher at howm?
Gina
Dear Gina
Unfortunately the geniuses behind Gmail are able to identify
the language and offer to translate, but they don't offer
to filter all mails in that language.
Until they do, you have to make a rude and crude filter
like this:
Look at some of those Japanese spams, and copy
Start making a filter, and into the field for
Has the words
paste the what you see at
http://webby.com/humor/JapaneseFilter.html
I am not putting the contents of that in here,
otherwise it will dump the Humor Letter for people,
who use MailWasher and already use an advanced
version of that filter.
You won't have to type Japanese characters, just
highlight what you see on that page, copy it,
then paste it into the Has the words field.
Tell it to dump the ones found into the trash.
Checkmark to apply to all the ones found.
You may have to click on the magnifying glass to test,
and then plull down the tiny arrow for more, and in that
return to making your filter. Yeah, I know, that part
is a bit klutzy, and may cause you to cuss a bit, but it IS
there at the top of the search results.
Gmail's filters are rather primitive compared to MailWasher,
but you CAN get them to work.
Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Soak Off Jar Labels
In my quest to reclaim a Mason jar (specifically Classico
pasta sauce jars) I needed to soak off the labels. I
submerged the jars in hot water and let them sit until
the paper was easy to pull off. The best part with the
Classico jars is that the glue they use is also water
soluble! So I was able to remove the glue with hot
soapy water. With other jar, I removed the glue with
Goo Gone and a paper towel. I was amazed at how well
this worked!
By Laurel from Port Orchard, WA
A faster and easier way is to use your steam iron set to
max. Squirt the corner of a label and lift it up with some
tweezers, keep squirting and gently pulling with the
tweezers.
This trick works fine even with labels on Ziplock baggies.
Do NOT try to pull the labels with your fingers. You are
bound to squirt them with steam. That usually causes some
cussing.
Do NOT leave a phone nearby. I heard that pressing the hot
iron onto your ear upon hearing the phone ring also causes
cussing.
Have FUN!

A wealthy contractor liked to know something about all the
employees who worked for him.
One day he came upon a young man who was expertly
counting out a large wad of the firm's cash.
The contractor asked the man, "Where did you get your
financial training, young man?"
"Yale," the man answered.
"That's good," said the contractor, who was an advocate of
higher learning.
"What's your name?" he asked.
The man answered, "Yonnie Yackson."

Finding one of her students making faces at others on the
playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprove the child.
Smiling sweetly the teacher said, "When I was a child, I was
told if I made ugly faces I would stay like that."
The student looked up and replied, "Well, looks like
they were right!"
Joan, who was rather well-proportioned, spent almost all of
the day sunbathing on the roof of her hotel, while her
hubby attended some conference.
She wore a bathing suit the first day, but on the second,
she decided that no one could see her way up there, and
she slipped out of it for an overall tan.
She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running up the
stairs. She was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a
towel over her rear.
"Excuse me, miss," said the flustered assistant manager
of the hotel, out of breath from running up the stairs.
"The hotel doesn't mind your sunbathing on the roof,
but we would very much appreciate your wearing a bathing
suit as you did yesterday."
"What difference does it make?" Joan asked rather calmly.
"No one can see me up here, and besides, I'm covered with
a towel."
"Not exactly," said the embarrassed man.
"You're lying on the dining room skylight."
