Good Morning,  !

Today is Friday, November 8.
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!



Today I am going to have to ask a favor of you, 
actually beg for a little favor.

I have been focusing on my work, which includes writing your
Humor Letter, and thought that the server bills were getting 
paid by my book keeper. Today I got a letter that stated, 
if I don't pay the outstanding $2500 by Monday, 
the servers will be turned off.
And, as usual, I am flat broke.

If you can send me a dollar with the PayPal Donate button,
and if enough of you can do that, we will stay online.

I know, some of you don't like PayPal and would rather mail
some pumpkin tarts or Gingerbread cookies, but I also know,
that a few of you might be able to afford two or three 
dollars. Please donate what you can to help me to be able 
to keep working!

Thank you very much!

"It is more rewarding to watch money change the world
than watch it accumulate."
--- Gloria Steinem


>From Hank a great Classic:
There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so 
he went before the congregation and asked for a raise. 
After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever 
the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
 
After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the
Congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss 
the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and 
bickering about how much the clergyman's additional 
children were costing the church.
 
Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, 
"Children are a gift from God," he said.
 
Silence fell on the congregation.
 
In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in 
her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, 
but when we get too much of it, we start wearing rubbers."
 
And the congregation said, "Amen"

A Bedouin wandering in the Sahara happened upon an American   
dressed in a bathing suit, flip-flops, a big, over-sized   
t-shirt and sunglasses.   

The Bedouin gazed at him in amazement, "What are you doing   
all the way out here dressed like that!?"   

"I'm going swimming," the tourist explained.   

"But the ocean is eight hundred miles away," the Arab   
informed him.   

"Eight hundred miles!" the American exclaimed with a whistle   
of appreciation. "Boy, what a beach!"

Paula Howard, 50, Kissimmee, Floriduh 

Jailed After Prostituting 
Three Young Daughters For $20

Reported by The Weekly Vice
Paula Howard, a 50-year-old Florida Woman, was jailed 
Thursday after she allegedly offered to sell her three 
daughter's for sex.

According to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, Howard 
was arrested when she flagged down an undercover officer 
and then offered him her three daughters for sex in 
exchange for cash.

Investigators say an undercover officer was posing as a 
"John" during a sting operation after the Sheriff's Office 
received complaints from other prostitutes about a woman, 
who was prostituting her minor daughters in the area.

The undercover officer was standing in front of a bus stop 
at around 2:30 p.m. when Howard flagged him down and then 
motioned her daughters over to where he was standing. The 
three daughters, ages 16, 17, and 18, approached the officer 
and offered him his choice of the three girls for sex.

One of the girls agreed to have sex with the officer for 
$20, according to the arrest affidavit. 

Howard was booked into jail and charged with child abuse, 
contributing to the delinquency of a minor, deriving support 
from proceeds of prostitution and other related charges. She 
remains held in lieu of $36,000 bond.

The girls were taken into protective custody.

Re: Change folder icons

Dear Webby,
At home I can easily change the icons for folders, 
but on my work machine I can't. Do you know a way 
around that?
Amanda

Dear Amanda
You may need to install TweakUI or XP Powertoys from
Microsoft. Another way around that is to drag the folder
where it belongs, i.e. anywhere except the desktop,
and make a desktop shortcut to it. Even with a barebones
Windows XP or 98 you can change the icons for shortcuts.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Clean Bathtub with Krud Kutter
We have a very large fiberglass shower unit that had the 
ugliest dark stain of unknown origin (probably not been 
cleaned in long time) on the bottom part. I had tried 
everything I could mix or muster up to use.

Then one day I read on here about the Krud Kutter for 
wallpaper removal (BTW great for that zipped 4 layers 
in no time). I used the Krud Kutter full strength and 
a plastic scrubbie. Every bit of it came out, without 
much "elbow grease".

Krud Kutter is well worth the price for a gallon. It cleans 
everything and is biodegradable with no obnoxious fumes 
either!

My friend's preparations for a visit from her children 
included a trip to the bank. Waiting in line at the teller's 
window, she lamented to the middle-aged man behind her, 
"My children are in their 20s, and I'm still giving them 
money. When does it end?"

"I'm not sure I'm the one to ask," the man said while 
glancing uncomfortably at a paper in his hand, 
"I'm here to deposit a check from my mother."

A famous classic, The Hawaii Bridge
A guy is walking along the beach in Malibu, finds a bottle, 
and picks it up.

Immediately, a genie pops out and replies, "Thanks for letting 
me out! For your kindness, I will grant you one wish."

The guy says, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I can't 
because I'm too afraid to fly and ships make me deathly sick 
from claustrophobia. So...I guess, my wish is for you to build 
a road from here to Hawaii."

"I'm sorry," the genie says, "But I don't think I can do 
that. Just think of all the work involved...think of the huge 
pilings we'd need to hold up the highway, and how deep they 
would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. And think 
of all the cement that would be needed. Plus, since it's such 
a long span, there would have to be gas stations and rest 
stops along the way. No, that is just too much to ask."

"Well, there is one other thing I've always wanted," the guy 
replies. "I'd like to be able to understand women. What 
makes them laugh and cry, why they're so temperamental, 
why are they so difficult to get along with them...you know, 
what makes them tick?"

The genie thinks a second, and then answers, 
"Would that bridge be two lanes or four?"


A veterinarian was feeling ill and went to see
her doctor. The doctor asked her all the usual
questions, about symptoms, how long had they
been occurring, etc., when she interrupted him:

"Hey look, I'm a vet -- I don't need to ask my
patients these kind of questions: I can tell
what's wrong just by looking. Why can't you?"

The doctor nodded, looked her up and down, wrote
out a prescription, and handed it to her and said,
"There you are. Of course, if that doesn't work,
we'll have to have you put down."
