I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in twenty minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Brooke Amber Sutton,
27,
Miramar Beach,
Floriduh
Floriduh store thief left cell phone and
puddles behind.
A 27-year-old Florida woman accused of stealing thousands of
dollars in merchandise from outlet stores. She left behind two
key pieces of evidence — her cell phone and puddles of urine,
police say.
Brooke Amber Sutton was arrested over the weekend and charged
with felony retail theft, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office
said in a press release. Police say they found $2,100 in
merchandise stolen from stores at the Silver Sands Outlets
in Miramar Beach in Sutton’s car.
Sutton is accused of peeing on the floor of the dressing room
and on some merchandise, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office
said in its police report, according to Northwest Florida
Daily News. Police said Sutton also urinated on several items
of merchandise in the Ann Taylor store, according to the
arrest report.
Sutton told police she went into the Ann Taylor store and took
several items into the fitting room, where she removed price
tags and security devices. She left the store with 18 items
she did not pay for, according to her arrest report.
Deputies responded to the outlet mall after an employee at
Ann Taylor found several security tags in a dressing room that
had been removed by Sutton, the sheriff’s office said.
“Along with the tags was a cell phone left by the suspect,”
the sheriff’s office said
Police said Sutton then went to Saks Off Fifth and went into a
dressing room with between 15 to 20 pairs of jeans, hidden
under a men’s suit jacket. She then left the dressing room
with six pairs of the jeans, valued at more than $1,000,
hidden under the jacket, and exited the store, police said
in her arrest report.
She set off the security alarm at the Saks outlet, police said.
Police Found Designer Jeans, Costume Jewelry & Other Clothing in
Her Car After Tracking Her Down Through Her Husband.
Police tracked down Sutton by calling her husband, on speed dial
on her phone, and getting a description of the vehicle she was
driving, the sheriff’s office said.
Sutton was found in the parking lot of the Silver Sands Outlet,
near the Ann Taylor store. Deputies said they found the six pairs
of designer jeans from Saks and $1,100 worth of costume jewelry
and other clothing from Ann Taylor.
She was arrested at the outlet mall.
Sheriff Michael Adkinson Jr. praised the work of his deputies,
who tracked down Sutton by using her cell phone.
“This is a prime example of quick thinking done by our deputies,”
Adkinson said. They used the phone to get a description of the
suspect’s vehicle and were able to make an arrest quickly. That’s
good police work.”
Sutton was arrested on two counts of felony retail theft and booked
into the Walton County Jail on Friday. She posted $5,000 bail on
Saturday and is awaiting trial.
According to online court records she has applied for criminal
indigent status.
Sure has expensive taste, though!

Re: What accessories do you need for traveling with a laptop?
Dear Webby
one time you mentioned a source for all the stuff one needs for a
laptop when you travel. Do you still have that info?
Thanks,
Mia
Dear Mia
Times have changed. Nowadays all you need are adapter plugs
to fit the outlets in the countries that you plan to t ravel
to, for example an adapter, that goes into a German outlet,
and into which you can plug your power bar.
You can get those adapters at hardwaree stores, NewEgg,
RadioShack, etc.
Definitely take along a power bar, so that you can plug all
of your stuff into that. The laptop charger and pretty well
all of your electronics don't care if you use 110 or 200 Volt.
Most trains have regular outlets the same as what you get in
homes and hotels in that country. Planes usually have the
small automotive type outlets, not the large cigarette
lighter type. You can get adapters to go into those, so that
you can plug in a regular StatPower inverter, that changes
12 Volt DC into 110 Volt AC.
Check before you book a flight if that airline allows laptop
use during the flight or not. Some do, some don't, and some
allow only the Pay-Per-View movies, that they sell.
Have FUN!

Bernie came into the principals office looking somewhat tired and
bedraggled, but anxious to explain his nearly one hour tardiness.
“Our chickens have been disappearing.” He said. “And Pa made
up his mind to put a stop to it. But nothing happened for several
nights. Then last night about 3 o’clock, Pa got me and Ol’ Blue,
our dog, and his shot gun, all cocked and loaded, to go out with
him to the chicken house to see what was going on.”
He went on. “Well, Pa sleeps in his birthday suit, and as he bent
over to go into the chicken house, Ol’ Blue cold-nosed Pa where
he didn’t expect it.
Both barrels went off.
Ever since then we’ve been up a-cleanin’ and a-pluckin’ more than
50 chickens. I missed the bus and had to walk 3 miles to school. "
As I handed him his “Excused” slip, he muttered,
“I sure hope we don’t have no chicken for lunch this week.”

Peeling Pickles
I love dill pickles, but I do not like biting into one of
the rock-like black things on the skin. It sends shivers
up my spine not to mention the feeling on the teeth. So
I peel my pickles before I eat them.

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers.
The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece
of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50."
The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few
words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100."
The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a
few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon... and it takes
eight people to collect all the money!"

Those men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight
should do it out of sight of women.
Men hate self-service. It's always so damn bad ...
and slow too.
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about
something his lover said. After marriage, he'll fall asleep
before his wife finishes talking.

A farmer runs into the pastor of his church after missing the
morning service. "I missed you at service this morning," the
pastor says.
"Well, Reverend", the farmer says, "I had some hay to put up.
I figured there would be less cussing if I sat on a dry bale of hay
thinking about church, than to sit in a dry church thinking about
the hay getting rained on."
