A pastor is walking down the street one day when he notices 
a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house 
across the street. However, the boy is very small and the 
doorbell is too high for him to reach.

After watching the boys efforts for some time, the pastor 
steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little 
fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder 
leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.

Crouching down to the child's level, the pastor smiles 
benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?" 

To which the boy replies, "Now we run like hell!"

The old man had died. A wonderful funeral was in progress   
and the country preacher talked at length of the good traits   
of the deceased; what an honest man he was, what a loving   
husband and kind father he had been.   

The widow, meanwhile was ever so slightly shaking her head,   
as she intently listened to the preacher's words.   

Finally, the widow leaned over and whispered to one of her   
children: "Erica, honey, go on up there and take a look in 
the coffin and see if that's your pa in there."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Exzadrian Oneal Jefferson, 23, Dallas, Texas

Man who shot and killed his partner in crime 
during botched robbery

Maybe we don’t need firearms to protect ourselves from 
criminals. That is, as long as we get more thugs like 
Exzadrian Oneal Jefferson who shot and killed his friend 
as they attempted an armed robbery on Sunday.

Jefferson and his partner in crime, known only as Brightmon, 
were living Obama’s dream at 4:00 am in Dallas, TX. Empowered 
by the president’s equality push, they decided to bypass 
Congress and speed up the redistribution of wealth process by 
liberating some funds from the “haves.” This being the wee hours 
of the morning there weren’t too many overly privileged 
individuals milling about so they settled on a trio of persons 
drinking alcohol in a parking lot.

The two modern day Robin Hoods approached the group of drinkers. 
Brightmon pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger. At this point, 
this seems less like an attempted robbery and more like an attempted 
murder, but who am I to argue semantics? In any case, the gun failed 
to fire. 

At this point, the three drunks bum rushed the would-be robbers and 
started beating the hell out of them. In the melee, Jefferson gained 
control of the gun, which had been miraculously restored to functioning 
condition. He fired off a shot, hitting his homeboy Brightmon center 
mass right in the chest. 

Brightmon would later die at the hospital, no doubt thinking 
that they should have spent more time on the planning stage of 
their big heist.

Jefferson fled the scene in a panic, but after several hours 
of introspection, decided that maybe crime is not what he was 
meant to do. He thought about his four burglary convictions, 
his theft conviction, his marijuana possession conviction and 
his trespassing conviction. Then he considered how his probation 
was revoked on a felony robbery case and his pending felony drug 
and theft charges. All by the age of 23!

Realizing that he shot and killed his friend in one of the worst 
robbery attempts ever was enough to convince Jefferson that his 
chosen vocation was a mistake. 
Later on Sunday, he walked into a Dallas police station and turned 
himself in where he was charged with murder. 


Tech Support Pits

Re: Weird characters in email

A good morning Webby,  
A day without Webby's newsletter is not a good day.  
I enjoy the humor and also often in need of  tech support.

Two questions today on my Eudora.   
First, there are some emails that come to me and some of the
punctuation marks  don't show but may have other "stuff" instead.  

Example  Sable Creek Golf Course, Inc.  

This only happens once in a while, not sure what to do about 
it.  Might there be a setting that needs changed?

Second questions, once in a while I get this screen and the 
Eudora is "frozen" for a short while.
Jim

Dear Jim
That "stuff" is called Microslop, and is due to somebody 
sending mail from within Microsoft WORD. They use cutesy 
punctuation marks like the wacky left and right leaning 
quote marks. They show when THEY print the stuff, but any 
other times it coems out as Microslop.

There is nothing you can do about it, except pity the 
dumb sloppers, whose emails appear sloppy, no matter 
who they write to. They COULD change a setting in their
WORD, but that would require reading the instructions.

Question #2 is due to a fragmented hard drive and too 
long access times.
Use Defraggler, a cousin of CrapCleaner. The first time it 
will take a long time to defrag the entire drive, so let it 
run while you are away.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Don't Water Down Summer Drinks
During the summer, I make my own ice cubs out of tea, 
lemonade, and leftover fruits and juices. I then use them 
in ice tea or fruit drinks instead of ice cubes made from 
water. As they melt, it makes your drink more flavorful 
instead of getting watery. My favorite is fruit bits and 
juices added to ice tea. Makes good peach tea, raspberry 
tea, cherry tea and more.

An American tourist refused to be too greatly impressed with
the masterpieces at the Louvre.

"We've got plenty of priceless canvasses in the United States
too," he declared.

"I know," said the guide. "Rembrandt painted seven hundred
pictures in his lifetime, and America has over ten thousand
of them."



I was killing time waiting for a friend and browsing in a 
souvenir shop at the mall entrance, when the man next to me
struck up a conversation. Just as he was telling me that
his wife was getting carried away with her shopping, a brief
power shortage caused the lights to flicker overhead.

"Ah," he sighed that must he her checking out now."
