A man and women who had never met before, but who were
both married to other people, found themselves assigned
to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a
room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly
- he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.
At 1:00 a.m. the man leaned over and gently woke the
woman saying, "Ma'am, hate to bother you but would you be
willing to reach into the closet and get me a second blanket?
I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea" she replied, "just for tonight, let's
pretend we are married."
"Wow, that's a great idea," he exclaimed.
"Good" she replied, "get your own damn blanket."
After a moment of silence, he farted, long and loud.

Groan Alert from Sandie!
Did you hear about the guy in Paris who almost got away
with stealing several paintings from the Louvre? After
planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he
was captured only two blocks away when his SUV
ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and
then make such an obvious error, he replied:
"Monsieur, I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the
Van Gogh!"
I suppose that you thought I lacked DeGaulle to send you
a story like this ~~!!!

North Dakota woman accused in death of pregnant woman
and kidnapping of newborn
New details have emerged in the case of a North Dakota couple
charged in the death of their eight-months-pregnant neighbor
and the kidnapping of a baby believed to be hers, according to
court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Brooke Lynn Crews, 38, and her boyfriend, 32-year-old William
Henry Hoehn, are charged in the death of neighbor Savanna
LaFontaine-Greywind, who had last been seen Aug. 19 before her
body was found in a river Sunday night.
According to the documents, Hoehn allegedly told police he
arrived home from work on Aug. 19 to find Crews cleaning up
blood in the bathroom. She was also holding a baby girl and
allegedly told him, “This is our baby, this is our family,” the
charging documents state.
A newborn girl, believed to be LaFontaine-Greywind’s, was found
in the apartment of the suspects, which the pregnant woman
visited hours before she was reported missing.
According to the court documents, Crews told detectives she had
invited LaFontaine-Greywind to the couple’s apartment and
taught the pregnant woman how to self-induce birth by breaking
her own water.
Crews claimed LaFontaine-Greywind gave her the baby on Aug. 21
— two days after LaFontaine-Greywind vanished from the same
apartment building.
Hoehn allegedly told police he removed garbage bags containing
bloody towels and his own bloody shoes and allegedly left them
in a dumpster in West Fargo.
Crews and Hoehn have each been charged with conspiracy to
commit murder, conspiracy to commit kidnapping and providing
false information to law enforcement.
They have not yet entered pleas to the charges against them. It
is unclear if they have lawyers who could comment on their
behalf.
Both Hoehn and Crews remained in jail on Monday without bond.

Re: KVM plus Audio switch
Dear Webby,
Starting soon I will have 2 computers on my desk. I
understand you can connect both computers with a
KVM switch but will connecting 2 computers to one monitor
sacrifice performance? I see that there is a switch which
includes a speaker and microphone but I don't think that
is necessary..I only need speakers for one computer, which
I already have..I don't think including an audio set with the
switch means you won't have audio unless you get a switch
with this feature, but I'm not sure. Your opinion?
Thanks....R.J.
Dear Robin
There is no loss of hardware performance.
You only need an audio switch included if you run the audio
through your home or office stereo, like I do. However, if
you use the little squeakers, that come with computers,
connected to each machine, then each will have it's own
sound anyway.
Personally, I did not bother with an audio switch. Computer
1 goes to the stereo, computer 2 uses it's own squeakers.
Those are plenty good enough for error beeps and
announcement pings.
Have FUN!

Thanks to Cookie for this story:
Our dog, Longie, suddenly began barking daily at 4 a.m.
Irritated and sleepy, my husband, Larry, searched the back
yard for what might have disturbed this otherwise placid
animal. For three mornings in a row he found nothing amiss.
Then the dog woke up the neighborhood again at 3 a.m. with
frantic barking. When Larry looked out the window, he
discovered someone throwing pebbles to land near Longie.
Larry hurried outside and confronted the culprit.
Crouching on the other side of the fence was our very quiet
neighbor, the last man you'd suspect of wrongdoing.
My husband demanded to know what he was doing.
"My mother-in-law is visiting," the embarrassed neighbor
explained. "She said If she loses her beauty sleep one more
night, she says she'll leave."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Freezing Green Tomatoes
Don't waste all the green tomatoes left over at the end of the
growing season. Wash and slice the tomatoes. Pour out some
yellow cornmeal in a shallow dish. Coat the tomatoes well.
Stack the slices in baggies and freeze. Next time you want
Fried Green Tomatoes, just place them in your buttered pan and
fry! Salt, pepper or seasonings can be added at this time.

Finally, he realizes what he is doing and says; "I'm sorry
I talked so long. I left my watch at home."

My sister went to the department store to check out the
bridal registry of our niece whose wedding was coming up
soon. When my sister returned from the store, she tossed
the gift list on a table and declared,
"I think she's too young to get married."
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"Because," she said, "they registered for Nintendo games."

Soon after our last child left home for college, my husband
was resting next to me on the couch with his head in my lap.
I carefully removed his glasses.
"You know, honey," I said sweetly, "Without your glasses you
look like the same handsome young man I married."
"Honey," he replied with a grin, "Without my glasses, you
still look pretty good too!"
