I asked my wife if she had seen this morning's paper. She   
said, "Yes, I wrapped the garbage in it--just the
classified   
section, though."   

I said, "But...but...I haven't seen it yet!"   

She replies, "Oh, you didn't miss much. Just some egg
shells, coffee grounds and a few orange peels."

Thanks to Dave for this classic:
When the office printer's type began to grow faint, the
office manager called a local repair shop where a friendly
man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be
cleaned.

Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he
said, the manager might try reading the printer's manual
and doing the job himself.

Pleasantly surprised by his candor, the office manager
asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"

"Actually it's my boss's idea," the employee replied.
"We usually make more money on repairs if we let people
try to fix things themselves first."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Wei Li, 38,
Cuyahoga Falls,
Ohio

Ohio man threatened to kill wife, 
commit ‘mass shooting’ that would 
‘go down in history’

 A Cuyahoga Falls man has been charged after allegedly
threatening to kill his estranged wife and shoot up the Las
Vegas hotel and casino where she worked.

Wei Li, 38, faces a charge of interstate threatening
communications and destruction of evidence.

According to the Cleveland Division of FBI, Li texted his
estranged wife Nov. 6 multiple times making the threats.

He also referenced a mass shooting at a church with at least
1,000 people in attendance. He indicated in the text
messaging that the killing he planned to commit would go
down in history and that he would blame his wife for all the
deaths.

According to court documents, he said the shooting at the
casino would be a dry run.

He also allegedly texted her photos of knives, rifles, a
list of Las Vegas casinos and a picture of himself holding a
rifle.

On Nov. 9, he allegedly texted his wife telling her that if
he didn't get his green card, he would kill her.

The woman notified authorities that she was afraid for her
safety. On Nov. 10, detectives and FBI agents were
questioning Li and asked him to unlock his phone.

He complied, but then deleted a string of text messages. He
was then arrested.

He will have his initial appearance in court Thursday.

Re: Transfer files from TiVo to hard drive
Dear Webby, 
Tivo to hard drive.  Any ideas, or can it be done?
Hope all is well with you and yours,
Chris

Dear Chris
TIVO boxes have an internal hard drive and a port to
connect to a computer home network. Depending on the
model, the network connection is either USB1, USB2 or
Ethernet.

If you have a port free on your computer home network,
it plugs right in.
Have FUN!

Thanks to Hilla for this story:
Sister Mary, who worked for a home health agency, was out
making her  rounds visiting homebound patients when she ran
out of gas.  As luck would have it, a gas station was just
a block away.

She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some
gas.  The  attendant told her that the only gas can he owned
had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was
returned.

 Since the nun was on the way to see a patient, she decided
not to wait and walked back to her car. She looked for
something in her car that she could fill with gas and
spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient.

Always resourceful, she carried the bedpan to the station,
filled it with gas, and carried the full bedpan back to her
car.

As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two men watched
from across the street.  One of the them turned to the other
and said, "If it starts, I'm turning Catholic.

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson.
"Is the word spelled p-u-t or p-u-t-t?'' she asked the
instructor.

"P-u-t-t would be correct,'' he replied.

"Put means to place a thing where you want it.
Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

Nonstick Meatloaf
Here's a tasty way to keep meatloaf from sticking to the
pan. Line your pan with a couple strips of bacon before
putting the meatloaf in the pan. It's not cheap, but it sure
tastes good.

Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?"
But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old
Plymouth because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out
of the Garden of Eden in a Fury." 

But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a
Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with
your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm."

Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses'
followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the
Ram's horn sounds a long blast."

Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't
like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in
St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did
not speak of my own Accord..." Meanwhile, Moses rode an
old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage
declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the
hills."

Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its
muffler: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land."

And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled
in a Honda..."The Apostles were in one Accord."

Thanks to Ross for this warning:
I hate it when people forward bogus warnings...but
this one is real, and it's important. So please send
this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are
conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to
take your clothes off and dance around with your
arms up, DO NOT DO IT!!  IT IS A SCAM; they only
want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so silly now.

DearWebby, 
you have occasionally mentioned Skype a few times every year
for as long as I have known you. I finally installed it on
the insistence of my grand daughter. Found out that my
laptop has a camera and a microphone already built in! 
After an hour of yacking and laughing I got scared about the
bill, and found out that video chat is free on Skype.
Kicking myself now for not listening to you!
We had so much fun!
Alice
