Passing an office building late one night, Gus saw a sign
that said, "Press the bell for the night watchman."

He did so, and after several minutes he heard the watchman
clomping down the stairs. The uniformed man proceeded to
unlock first one gate, then another, shut down the alarm
system, and then coming through the revolving door, he looked
at Gus and asked, "Well, what do you want?"

And Gus says, "I just want to know why you can't ring the bell
for yourself. Why do I have to ring it for you ?"

A teacher was teaching his kids about survival in the
desert. "What are the three most important things you
should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?"
he asked.

Several hands went up, and many important things were
suggested such as food, matches, etc.

Then  in the back eagerly raised a hand.
"Yes, , what are the three most important things
you would bring with you?" asked the teacher.

 replied, "A compass, a canteen of water,
and a deck of cards."

"Why's that, ?" the teacher asked.

"Well," answered , "the compass is to find the
right direction, the water is to prevent dehydration."

"And what about the deck of cards?" asked the teacher.

"Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, someone
is bound to come up behind you and say, 'Put that red nine
on top of that black ten'!"

Florida mother arrested for trying to give away 
2 year old son in parking lot

A Florida mother allegedly tried to give her son away to
strangers in a restaurant parking lot.

Amber Warner, 31, is accused of trying to give her 2-year-old
son away in the parking lot of a Kountry Kitchen in Vero
Beach, according to WPLG.

Authorities say that Warner told the couple “I can’t do it,”
before placing the child on the ground and driving off.

She was later found at her home, where she was arrested and
charged with unlawful desertion of a child and resisting
arrest without violence.

The child was placed under the care of the Florida Department
of Children and Families and appeared to be in good health.

Re: Paper or e-books
Dear Webby,
I am planning to take a course and have a choice to get the
material on paper books or on e-books. The e-book version
is a lot cheaper, of course. Which version would you
recommend?
Vi

Dear Vi
I would recommen the e-book version without the slightest
hesitation. With e-books you CAN print them, if you need
paper. You can even print just those pages that you want,
like indexes or summaries. You can also take screen
captures of paragraphs or illustrations and paste those
into word processor documents.

With e-books you aren't just saving trees and money, you
are getting a lot more value.
Have FUN!

Little Johnny and his family lived in the country, and as a
result seldom had guests. He was eager to help his mother
after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the
office.

When the dinner was nearly over, Little Johnny went to the
kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie,
giving it to his father who passed it to a guest. Little
Johnny came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to his
father, who again gave it to a guest.

This was too much for Little Johnny, who said, "It's no use,
Dad. The pieces are all the same size."

Reheat Pizza in a Frying Pan

By lalala... [827 Posts, 105 Comments]

A great way to reheat leftover pizza is in a frying pan. Place
the pizza in the frying pan over medium heat.
Slices of pizza in a frying pan


Cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil that is domed in
the center so it doesn't stick to the cheese.
Frying pan with aluminium foil
It can burn quickly so check it every few minutes until it is
heated through and is crispy enough for you on the bottom. The
result is a crispy crust, instead of the rubbery, soggy crust
you get when microwaved.

According to a recent survey, men say the first thing
they notice about a women are their eyes.

Women say the first thing they notice about men is
they're a bunch of liars, and if they were noticing that 
women have eyes, the bra padding industry would go broke.
