A motion to adjourn is always in order.

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge
number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the
national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers.
Now we should call them economical numbers.

Scroll down for the answers. The questions are not that
difficult. You just need to think like a professional.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
*

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the

not you are doing simple things in a complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator ?
*

*
*
Incorrect answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant
and shut the refrigerator.
Correct answer: Open the refrigerator, take out of the

question tests your foresight.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the
animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
*
*
*
*
Correct answer: The elephant. The elephant is in the
refrigerator! This tests if you are capable of 
comprehensive thinking.

OK, if you did not answer the last three questions
correctly, this one may be your last chance to test your
qualifications to be a professional.


4. You have to cross Crocodile River and have no boat or
weapon. How do you cross it?

reasoning ability.

If you answered four out of four questions correctly, you 
are a true professional. Wealth and success await you.

If you answered three out of four, you have some catching 
up to do but there's hope for you.

If you answered two out of four, consider a career as a
hamburger flipper in a fast food joint.

If you answered one out of four, try selling some of your
organs. It's the only way you will ever make any money.

If you answered none correctly, consider a career that 
does not require logic or any higher mental functions at 
all, such as local politics.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Catherine Therrell,
55
Pevely,
Missouri

Naked Missouri woman sitting on couch when mom 
and young boys come home. 

A Missouri woman called police last week when she returned
home with her two young boys to find a naked woman sitting
on their couch, according to KTVI.

“I asked her who she was and why she was there and she told
me her name was Catherine and she was there for the birthday
party,” said Brianna Willey. “And she was definitely
dressed
for it.”

There was no birthday party and the woman was stripped down
to her birthday suit, wearing nothing.

“I had to ask her to let me in the house because she put the
latch on, and she put her clothes on backwards, then she
realized her clothes were on backwards, so she proceeded to
take them back off as I was standing there,” Willey said.

“Officers who later arrived on scene and placed her in
custody advised that she was highly intoxicated,” said Cpl.
Benjamin Litterall of the Pevely Police Department.

This isn’t the first time the woman has crashed someone’s
home drunk.

The woman, identified as Catherine Therrell, was charged
when she crashed her vehicle into a home back in February.
In that incident, Therrell narrowly missed hitting a mother
and child sitting in the living room watching TV, according
to police.

Police said Therrell's blood alcohol level was three times
the legal limit. She was charged with driving while
intoxicated persistent offender and second-degree property
damage, with a $10,000 bond.

Re: Electric watch battery

Dear Webby
I know this is not computer or web related, but nobody else
can answer me. Is it possible to change the battery in a 
wrist watch, or are they all just disposable now? There is
no clockmaker in the entire valley any more, and I am stuck.
Jennifer
/i>
Dear Jennifer
Changing watch batteries is easy, IF you have the right
tools. 
Don't ever attempt to do it by holding the watch in your
hand. That is a guarantee that you will stab your hand.
You have to use a knife-sharp screwdiver or wood chisel
to pry open the back. Noting to it if the watch is held
rock-solid in a vise, away from vulnerable hands.

Luckily the tools are amazingly cheap. A good watch vise is
$8 - $10. A "professional watchmaker's tool kit" is around 
$60 - $70, but unless you want to change the batteries for
everybody in the valley, you will easily get away with a 
$15 battery-changer's tool kit. You can always add more 
tools if there is a demand. 

If you have a decent watch vise, you can improvise on the
tools, or use tools you already have. 

Battery makers, like Energizer, have good on-line 
instructions for how to change watch batteries. They are
almost like a course, and in PDF for easy printing as a 
manual. An example is at
Energizer Watch Battery Replacement Guide

If you have problems seeing very small stuff, either get a
magnifying glass, or get some kid to help you. It's actually
really easy if you can see small stuff, like the + or - on
the tiny battery.

At Walmart they change batteries on watches bought there,
and if you are really good at flirting, they will do it on
other watches too.

Have FUN!

Today's Bonehead reminded me of this story:
A man was sitting at a bar enjoying an after-work
beer when an exceptionally gorgeous & sexy young
woman entered. She was so striking that the man could
not take his eyes away from her. The young woman
noticed his overly-attentive stare and walked directly
toward him.

Before he could offer his apologies for being so rude,
the young woman said to him, "I'll do anything,
absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter
how kinky, for $100 on one condition."

Flabbergasted, the man asked what the condition was.

The young woman replied, "You have to tell me what you
want me to do in just three words."

The man considered her proposition for a moment,
withdrew his wallet from his pocket and slowly counted
out five $20 bills, which he pressed into the young
woman's hand.

He looked deeply into her eyes and slowly, meaningfully
said, "Clean my house."

12 most amazing messages in a bottle ever found.


>from Millie:
Dear Webby, you are going to get a chuckle outa this: 
We have always had your Humor Letter on the
bulletin board, probably long before I started here.
The last two years it was my duty and pleasure to 
print it and put it up every morning.

Because nobody had read the boss's announcements 
re a picnic on the company anniversary, I was told 
today that in future all of his announcements be put 
"right beside the Webby Humor Letter, which seems 
to be the only part of the bulletin board anybody reads".
