Thanks to Ann for this story:
I wanted a haircut and phoned a salon early for an appoint-
ment but was told customers were taken on a walk-in basis
only. On Saturday I got there by 9 a.m. and there were
already ten people waiting. I drove to another salon, but
it was booked solid. Still another had no openings.

The situation seemed hopeless, so I went home. My husband
greeted me at the door. "That was fast," he said cheerfully.
"Your hair looks great!"

The heaviest element known to science is Managerium.

This element has no protons or electrons, but has a nucleus
made up of 1 neutron, 2 vice-neutrons, 5 junior vice-neutrons,
25 assistant vice-neutrons, and 125 junior assistant vice-
neutrons all going round in circles.

Managerium has a half-life of three years, at which time it
does not decay but institutes a series of reviews leading to
reorganization.

Its molecules are held together by means of the exchange of
tiny particles known as morons.

Idaho


Cops arrest batman on 
outstanding warrant

Late Saturday evening, cops in Pocatello, Idaho received a 
call that suspicious subjects “dressed as Batman and 
Superman were attempting entry into a residence.”

When cops later approached the pair, they claimed to be 
looking for a party, according to police.

Upon further questioning, officers determined that Batman--
Andrew Michael Christenson--had an active arrest warrant. 
“The Dark Knight was taken into custody and incarcerated,” 
cops reported.

Seen above, the 24-year-old Christenson was arrested and 
booked into the Bannock County jail, where he was 
photographed sans mask.

No charges were filed against Superman.

Re: Play DVD on W8.1

Dear Webby
My not very bright husband traded in my W7 computer for a 
new one with W8.1. Yuck!
Worst of all, it does not play music and games off DVDs!
He is not going to hear the end of that anytime soon!

Is there a way around that?
Nina


Dear Nina 
Yes, there is. You are not the only one upset about that,
but there is a very popular program called VLC, that takes
care of that. It does a much better job of it than MediaPlayer 
did even in W7. 
The only downside is the myriad of options in it. Do you want
Surround Sound for 7 speakers or for 5, or just two? 
And so on. It is usable with the default settings, but you 
can tweak it to perfection if you read the instructions.

You can download it free from VideoLan #download

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Hot Dog Bun Garlic Toast
One night I realized I had forgotten to buy garlic 
bread for our dinner. Too late for a trip to the store. 
I realized I had some extra hot dog buns though, and decided 
I could improvise. The improvising turned out well and I 
haven't bought pre-made garlic bread since. Not only are 
they tasty, but this costs way less since hot dog buns 
are so cheap. Enjoy! :)

Yield: As many as you like
Ingredients:
hot dog buns
butter or margarine

Thanks to Sandie for this story:
Because he's a longtime Harley rider, my grandfather looks
at everything from a biker's perspective. I once gave him a
haircut and got carried away. He looked at the pile of gray
hair on the floor, smiled and said, "You cut off half the chrome!"

My 50-something friend Nancy and I decided to introduce her
mother to the magic of the Internet. Our first move was to
access the popular "Ask Jeeves" site, and we told her it
could answer any question she had.

Nancy's mother was very skeptical, but finally typed in a
question: "How is aunt Nellie doing?
