Few people think more than two or three times a year;
I have made an international reputation for myself
by thinking once or twice a week.

A couple went to pay a visit to another couple, unannounced.
The wife answered the door. "Come in," she said.
The other couple came in,sat down, then asked,
"Where's John?"
"Oh," replied his wife,"he's in the bathroom, grouting and
spackling."
"Oh, dear," said the other lady, "I had that once and
didn't get over it for two weeks.

The professor of a graduate-school class of gifted students
included a HUGE amount of material on the midterm exam.
Tension in the room built, people were sighing and gasping
aloud as they realized how much material they had covered
and were expected to recall.
The following week, the professor tossed the graded papers
on her desk and announced, "Class, after I left here last
week, the Lord spoke to me.
He said, 'Thanks, professor. I haven't heard from some of
those people in years!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
James Romano,
25,
Menasha,
Wisconsin
Wisconsin bonehead arrested after he belly flopped
onto windshield of Wisconsin police car
The 25-year-old Wisconsin resident rang in the New Year by
performing an exquisite belly flop atop the windshield of a
police cruiser.
Romano, for some reason, charged the stationary squad car
shortly after midnight Sunday. As he reached the vehicle’s
front end, Romano launched himself into the air. Upon
landing, Romano smashed the windshield of the cruiser, which
was occupied by a Menasha Police Department officer.
After a scuffle with cops, Romano was taken into custody and
transported to a local hospital for treatment. He was then
booked into the county jail on multiple charges, including
battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct,
and criminal damage to property.
Investigators say that Romano (seen above) “had been
drinking” prior to his ill-conceived execution of the
January 1 belly flop in Menasha, a city about 35 miles south
of Green Bay.
According to his LinkedIn page, Romano works as a customer
service manager at Walmart.

Re: Garbled emails
Dear Webby,
The humor letter is great Thanks!
I hope you can give me a little insight as to why I receive
emails that is full of useless words, just words all
garbled up. Is it some kind of code or something? Some
emails are the entire thing, some have just a paragraph at
the end of a letter.
Thanks,
Debby
Dear Debby
Spam is for trashing, not for getting philosophical about.
They are just putting crap in there to try and sneak past
spam control programs, and then show their phony ads
as a picture.
Obviously, somebody who uses such a crooked approach
is a crook, and not worth your time or money.
Just trash their garbage.
Have FUN!
DearWebby
I met a man who had been married for 66 years.
"Amazing. 66 years!" I said. "What's the secret to
such a long, happy marriage?"
"Well," he replied, "It's like this. The man makes all
the big decisions ... and the woman just makes the
little decisions."
"Really?" I responded. "Does that really work?"
"Oh, yes," he said proudly. "66 years, and so far, not
one big decision!"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Lip Balm
By Becky Miles [100 Posts, 158 Comments]
My lips have been so dry lately and I couldn't find my usual
lip stuff. Instead of going out and buying yet another one,
I made some. I had all the ingredients, but that's because I
make lots of homemade hand salves and foot balms, etc. The
most expensive supply is the beeswax. You can buy the
beeswax pastilles. I bought a huge 1 pound block with a 60%
off coupon at the craft store (for about $5) and I grated it
myself. It took some work and I don't recommend using a
grater that you want to use again for food (it is hard to
clean off). But, it has lasted a long time and I use it a
lot. This lip balm worked perfectly. My lips are no longer
dry and I saved a few bucks!
Total Time: 10 minutes, plus cooling time
Yield: 3 containers
Source: http://www.everydayroots.com
Supplies:
1 Tbsp grated beeswax, to act as your moisturizer
1 Tbsp coconut oil, to promote hydration
a dash of honey - The instructions call for raw honey, but I
had none. Regular honey worked, too.
2 vitamin E capsules (I didn't have the capsules, so I
squirted in what seemed like 2 capsules-worth)
pot to heat water
clean can or glass jar
containers to put your lip balm in
Steps:
Heat a small pan with about 1 inch of water to simmering. I
use an old pot that I don't cook with.
Take a small clean metal can and add the grated beeswax. If
you are opposed to using the can, you could use a glass jar.
It's hard to clean out, but you could use it over and over
again. Add the can or glass jar to the water.
Melt the beeswax about halfway.
Add the coconut oil and honey. Stir with a plastic utensil,
chopstick, or Popsicle stick. Once the mix hardens, it's
hard to clean off. Use something that you don't mind
tossing.
Once melted, carefully take the can out of the pan of water.
Use a towel or potholders.
I squish my can so that it has a spout to pour out without
getting the mixture all over my counter.
Pour into your containers. I had a couple of old lip stuff
containers. I also poured some into a cleaned baby food
container.
Don't touch your containers as they cool. It takes about 15
to 20 minutes to harden. Enjoy!

The following is an ad from a newspaper which appeared four
days in a row - the last three hopelessly trying to correct
the first day's mistake.
MONDAY:
For sale: R. D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Phone
948-0707 after 7 P.M.. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives
with him cheap.
TUESDAY:
Notice: We regret having erred In R. D. Jones' ad yesterday.
It should have read "One sewing machine for sale cheap.
Phone 948-0707 and ask for Mrs. Kelly, who lives with him
after 7 P.M."
WEDNESDAY:
Notice: R. D. Jones has informed us that he has received
several annoying telephone calls because of the error we
made in the classified ad yesterday. The ad stands correct
as follows: "For sale -- R. D. Jones has one sewing machine
for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask for
Mrs. Kelly who loves with him."
THURSDAY:
Notice: I, R. D. Jones, have no sewing machine for sale. I
intentionally broke it. Don't call 948-0707 as I have had
the phone disconnected. I have not been carrying on with
Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper, but she
has now quit.

"Gee," she says, turning towards her husband, I told
you we should of gone to Florida instead. Here everyone
expects to be tipped."
