I pulled up to the drive-thru of a fast-food restaurant and
ordered coffee. I asked the clerk to put an ice cube into
the cup so that I could drink the coffee soon. At the
window, there was a delay. Finally, a teen-aged girl came to
the window looking frustrated. "I'm having a problem," she
announced. "The ice keeps melting."

Two guys had businesses on the same street. One had
customers coming and going and the other, well, maybe two or
three a day. Finally, Morris, whose business was doing
badly, decided to visit Shapiro, who was doing very well.
Going in the door, he saw a large banner over the entrance
which read : "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE." Morris wanted to
know why Shapiro was going out of business, since he seemed
to be doing so well. 

Shapiro confided, "That sign has been in my window for
almost eight years. If I took it down, I would go out of
business."

A customer was so infatuated with his waitress he decided to
ask her for a date, but couldn't get her attention. When he
was able to catch her eye, she quickly looked away. Finally
he followed her into the kitchen and confronted her. With a
total lack of finesse, he blurted out his invitation. 

To his amazement, she readily consented. He said, "Why have
you been avoiding me since you served me? You wouldn't even
make eye contact." 

"Oh," replied the waitress, "It`s close to the end of my
shift and I don`t want to make another pot of coffee. I
thought you wanted more coffee."

Explosive devices, weapon arsenal found 
in Florida child porn raid

Authorities say they found three explosive devices and other
weapons during a child porn raid at a Florida home.

A Pinellas County Sheriff's Office news release says 24-
year-old Randall Drake was arrested Wednesday and charged
with two counts of unlawfully making, possessing or
attempting to make a destructive device.

Authorities say detectives found a locked closet while
serving a warrant at Drake's Dunedin home, where he lives
with his parents. Besides finding tubes filled with
gunpowder and wicks, investigators also found aerial photos
of two Hillsborough County schools and a water treatment
facility.

Deputies removed 20 guns, 15 knives, a baseball bat with
protruding nails, a crossbow, brass knuckles and gun powder
from the home.

Drake was free on $20,000 bail.

Re: Wireless Connectivity
Dear Webby,
I am used to using the wireless modem in my laptop to
connect to hotels where I am staying, and am fairly 
comfortable with the procedure. However, now and then
it happens that I connect to the hotel's router, and see
good signal strength, but can't get anywhere. What
do you recommend in those cases?
Brenda


Dear Brenda
Get your money back and go to a better hotel.
They gambled on a 4 station home type router being enough,
and you were #5. They rarely admit that and that type of
hotel usually tries to blame it on your computer. 

It is NOT your computer's fault, and not your settings.
Do not let them talk you into changing your settings,
and don't let them waste your time, while they hope that
somebody will log off. Just demand your money back 
and go to a better hotel.

Without messing with your settings, you can usually
get better connectivity from the parking lot of a Holiday
Inn, than from the lobby of for example a Baymont Inn.

When enough people smarten up and demand their money
back, they will eventually get proper equipment and stop
trying to blame you.

Have FUN!
DearWebby




A new preacher had just begun his sermon. He was a little
nervous and about ten minutes into the talk his mind went
blank. He remembered some advice they gave him in seminary
school when a situation like this arose -- repeat your last
point. Often this will help you remember what should come
next. So he gave it a try.

"Behold, I come quickly," he said. Still his mind was blank.
So he tried again, "Behold, I come quickly!" Still nothing.

He tried once more, this time with so much vehemence that he
tripped over his microphone wire and fell off the stage,
right into the lap of a little old lady in the front row.

The young preacher was very embarrassed and tried to apolo-
gize, but the woman replied, "That's all right, young man.
It was my fault...I should have gotten ready for you.
After all, you did tell me three times you were coming!"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Say "No" to Rent-To-Own 
Avoid Rent-To-Own stores like the plague. They offer
horrible financing which will result in your having to pay
at least double for any products you buy. You are much
better served by getting a loan from a credit union, using a
low interest credit card, or better yet, depositing money 
into savings account every month so you can buy the 
product outright.

A business executive injured his leg skiing one
weekend. By the time he got home Saturday,
the leg was very swollen and he was having
difficulty walking, so he called his physician at
his home. The doctor told him to soak it in hot
water. He tried soaking it in hot water but the leg
became more swollen and painful.

His maid saw him limping and said, "I don't know,
I'm only a maid, but I always thought it was better
to use cold water, not hot, for swelling." He tried
switching to cold water, and the swelling rapidly
subsided.

Monday he called his Dr. again to complain. 
"Say Doc, what kind of a doctor are you anyway? 
You told me to soak my leg in hot water,
and it got worse. My maid told me to use cold water
and it got better."

"Really?!?" answered the doctor, "I don't understand
it; MY maid said hot water."

Having been married ten years and still living in an
apartment, Sarah would often complain about anything, as she
was tired of saving every penny to buy a "dream home".

Trying to placate her, the husband found a new apartment,
within their budget. However, after the first week, she
began complaining again.

"Joel," she said, "I don't like this place at all. There are
no curtains in the bathroom. The neighbors can see me every
time I take a bath."

"Don't worry." replied her husband. "If the neighbors do see
you, they'll go to Walmart and buy curtains."
