The police recently busted a man selling tablets
that he claimed stopped aging.
When going through their files they noticed it was the
fourth time he was caught for doing this.
He had earlier been arrested in 1794, 1856 and 1928.

Deciding to take up jogging, the middle-aged man was
astounded by the wide selection of jogging shoes
available at the local sports shoe store.

While trying on a basic pair of jogging shoe, he
noticed a minor feature and asked the clerk about it.

"What's this little pocket thing here on the side for?"

"Oh, that's to carry spare change so you can call your
wife to come pick you up when you've jogged too far."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by


Mozes Joseph Jimenez, 
25,
Twin Falls, 
Idaho


Idaho man arrested for carrying stolen goods 
past cop and fleeing when cop tried to arrest him.

A man caught shoplifting at Target walked past a Twin Falls 
Police Officer with an armful of clothing he was planning 
to steal, police said.

He then pretended to look for a receipt for the stolen goods 
in his car and fled, nearly hitting the officer, police said.

Mozes Joseph Jimenez, 25, was arraigned Tuesday in Twin Falls 
Magistrate Court on a charge of felony burglary.

Officer Matthew Ferronato was at Target, 1611 Blue Lakes Blvd., 
on May 30 speaking with a manager when a customer approached 
and said a man carried several clothing items out of the 
store without paying for them, court documents said.

Ferronato went outside to find Jimenez walking toward a car 
carrying clothes without a bag that were still on hangers 
and had tags attached to them, police said.

Ferronato reported that when asked if he had a receipt for 
the clothes Jimenez appeared to become nervous and slowly 
reached into his pocket. He then pulled his hand out with 
nothing in it.

Jimenez opened his car door and said the receipt must be 
in the car, court documents said. Jimenez then proceed to 
look behind his seat underneath a windshield cover.

Jimenez sat down into the driver seat and started to reach 
under the front passenger seat, police said. Ferronato 
asked him to step out of the car, but Jimenez turned it 
on and threw it in reverse.

He backed up so quickly Ferronato had to run out of the 
way to avoid being sideswiped, court documents said.

Ferronato got into his car and began pursuit, but after 
Jimenez turned onto Fillmore Street and then North College 
Road Ferronato was ordered to stop the chase, police said.

An asset protection employee for Target said the merchandise 
taken from the store was worth about $80.

Jimenez was arrested Monday. His bond was set at $25,000 
and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 11.

Re: McAfee WHOA page
Dear Webby,
I went to a site after searching for it on Google, and
McAfee hit me with the scary "WHOA, get back!" page.
I phoned the company, -their phone number was in the Google
results-, but they told me that since Google listed their
page, obviously the problem was on my side, and that I
should use AVG or Norton, and would not get that 
"false warning".

Sounds to me the guy was an incompetent or clueless bozo.
I wasily found an alternative place, that did not have a
warning from McAfee. 

Is that sort of thing common?
Pam

Dear Pam
Yes, unfortunately that is quite common. The same thing 
happened to me again a few days ago. I had heard that the 
owner of that site was rather clueless, so I didn't waste 
my time phoning, and simply went to another site, that 
sold the same stuff.

That happens about every second month to me.

The problem is not the server. The webhost normally doesn't 
do any malware check. The problem is the webmaster. If her 
or his computer is infected, then the work they produce is 
often also infected.

The infection is not necessarily a virus, but often just
some sneaky ads or links, that lead to malicious or unsafe
sites. McAfee follows all the links and tests them. If one
leads to an unsafe site, then you get the big, red "WHOA!"
page.

Just because AVG or Norton don't follow up the links on a
site, or even bother checking where you are browsing to,
that does not mean the sites they fail to warn you about,
are safe. 

That is why I have always recommended to get 
McAfee.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Anise Extract for Acid Reflux

This does not work for everyone, but it worked for my 
son-in-law and I. We both had acid reflux. I had read 
something in a book about licorice oil being an aid. I went 
to the store and tried to find licorice oil with no luck. 
(I found later you can order it through a drug store.) Since 
I couldn't find it, I got to thinking that licorice tastes 
and is substituted with anise. I went looking for anise oil 
but couldn't find any. I finally went to the grocery store 
in the seasonings aisle. I found anise extract.

It was fairly inexpensive so I bought a bottle. I took it home 
and followed the other instructions I remembered. "Taking it 
carefully, start with a small amount (up to two TEASPOONS, 
not tablespoons). I took up to two teaspoons the first time 
and had relief. I had to repeat a couple months later but 
haven't had any backup since.

My son-in-law tried it and one dose fixed his problem. My 
daughter tried it but got the instructions mixed up and took 
two tablespoons. She has not had much relief. Proving once 
again that too much of a good thing isn't good.

I shared this with my counselor, who tried it. She shared 
with her clients. They were cured too. I didn't hear of any 
failures from her.

Source: I think the book was a Pioneer Cookbook I had purchased 
somewhere in my lifetime.

"Recently we got a call from that big white church at
11th and Walnut," the paramedic said.  "A frantic usher
was very concerned that during the sermon an elderly
man passed out in a pew and appeared to be dead.  The
usher could find no pulse and there was no noticeable
breathing."

"What was so unusual and demanding about this
particular call?" the interviewer asked.

"Well," the paramedic said, "we carried out seven guys
before we found the one who was dead."
