A salesman was trying to talk a farmer into buying a
bicycle, but was meeting with considerable sales resistance.

"Shucks, I'd sooner spend my money on a cow," said the
farmer.

"Ah," replied the salesman, "but think how silly you'd look
riding around on a cow."

"Humph!" retorted the farmer. "Not near as silly as you'd
look trying to milk a bicycle!"

Church cigarette stunt means jail for Russian woman

A 21-year-old woman is jailed for deliberately provoking
authorities. Her crime? She posted a photo of herself
lighting a cigarette with a candle in a Russian Orthodox
church in the city of Belgorod, reports the Moscow Times. 

For that, she has been charged with "insulting the feelings
of religious believers," under a law that came about in 2013
in the wake of the stunts pulled by the feminist punk group
Pussy Riot. She faces up to three years in prison, reports
the London Times.

Hers is not the only such case to generate headlines. A 22-
year-old man posted a video of himself playing Pokémon Go in
a church in Yekaterinburg after state television warned that
such game-playing was a no-no. He, too, was charged under
the 2013 law, and has been held since October. No trial
dates appear to have been set in either case. 

Meanwhile in Moscow:
Russian President Vladimir Putin gives a good example of
proper behavior in church, as he lights a candle in the
Lifegiving Trinity Church in Moscow.

Re: Angelwinks going to wrong mailbox
Dear Webby
WHY DID YOU PEOPLE STOP SENDING ANGELWINKS TO
MY  IN BOX.  THEY ARE ALL COMING TO MY JUNK BOX.
I HAVE BEEN GETTING ANGELWINKS FOREVER AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN YOU STOPPED SENDING THEM  
           HOW COME????  PLEASE STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.
Sent from Outlook
Connie

Dear Connie
We send Angel's Angelwinks.net newsletter to your address.
What you do with it after that, is entirely up to you. Once
it has entered the Ho'mail server, there is nothing more
that we can do about it.

Probably you have accidentally hit the Junkmail button in
your Outlook one morning, and it remembered that.

You have to tell your Outlook yourself to behave and not to
toss good email into the junk box. I can't reach into your
Outlook. 

There is probably good information in the OUTLOOK help on
how to tell Outlook not to junk certain emails.

Have FUN!
DearWebby



Moisha Rabinowitz in the late 1930s fled his native land of 
Germany. He sold all his assets and converted it to gold 
and then had 5 sets of solid gold false teeth made.

When he arrived in New York the customs official was 
perplexed as to why anybody would have 5 sets of gold 
teeth. So Moisha explained.

"We Orthodox Jews have two separate sets of dishes 
for meat products and dairy products but I am so kosher 
and religious I also have separate sets of teeth."

The customs official shook his head and said, 
"Well that accounts for two sets of teeth. What about 
the other three?"

Moisha then said "Vell us very religious Orthodox Jews 
use separate dishes for Passover, but I am so religious 
I have separate teeth, one for meat and one for dairy food.

The customs official slapped his head and then said,
"You must be a very religious man with separate teeth for 
food and dairy products and likewise for Passover. That 
accounts for four sets of teeth. What about the fifth set?"

"Vell to tell you the truth, once in a while I like a ham 
sandwich."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Stubborn Locks
If you have a lock that is not functioning well, spray it
with some graphite lock spray. You can buy it at any
hardware store. One popular brand is called Lock-Ease. In a
pinch, you can try using some non-stick vegetable oil on
both the lock and key. You can also try dipping your key in
talcum powder and inserting it in the lock. 
 
Keep in mind that most locksmiths will charge you $20 more,
if you have gunked up a lock with graphite, and tell you
that the lock is beyond repair if you have used kitchen oil.

Those remedies may be OK for large, oldfashioned locks that
use simple gates to stop wrong keys from turning. If the key
looks like a miniature flag pole with a jagged flag at the
end, then it's safe to use that stuff, but you will still
get charged extra for gunking it up and the lock requiring
tedious cleaning.

Never use those for modern tumbler locks with a key similar 
to a car key. Tumbler locks should never see anything 
thicker than WD40 penetrating oil, and even that is frowned
upon, because it will trap dust. If you use penetrating oil
once, you will have to keep using it once or twice a year
until the lock has been taken out and all lubricants 
cleaned out. It is dust and grit and gunk that jam up a 
tumbler lock, not lack of lubrication.
