Years ago, the chaplain of the football team at Notre Dame
was a beloved old Irish priest. At confession one day, a
football player told the priest that he had acted in an
unsportsman-like manner at a recent football game. "I lost
my temper and said some bad words to one of my
opponents."
"Ahhh, that's a terrible thing for a Notre Dame lad to be
doin'," the priest said. He took a piece of chalk and drew a
mark across the sleeve of his coat.
"That's not all, Father. I got mad and punched one of my
opponents."
"Saints preserve us!" the priest said, making another chalk
mark.
"There's more. As I got out of a pileup, I kicked two of the
other team's players in the in a sensitive area."
"Oh, goodness me!" the priest wailed, making two more
chalk marks on his sleeve. "Who in the world were we playin'
when you did these awful things?"
"Southern Methodist."
"Ah, well," said the priest, wiping his sleeve, "boys will be
boys."

While working in a clothing store, I noticed that people had
no shame about returning items that obviously had been worn.
One rainy morning I walked in and found a discolored blazer
hanging on the rack with other returns. "People return the
most filthy, nasty things," I commented to my supervisor who
was standing nearby.
Eyebrow raised, she said, "That's my jacket."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Arfhy Santos, 20
William Lopez, 24,
Bronx, New York City,
New York
Suspect charged with attempted murder in
Times Square traffic stop that injured cop
Authorities believe 20-year-old Arfhy Santos was driving the
vehicle that struck the officer while fleeing the scene, and
that 24-year-old William Lopez was the passenger. Both are from
the Bronx. Santos is charged with attempted murder, assault and
reckless endangerment, while Lopez is charged with reckless
endangerment and reckless driving.
The suspects were taken into custody Wednesday, just hours
after police publicly identified them and released their
photos.
"We had over 20 tips on this in a very short time," NYPD Chief
of Detectives Robert Boyce said. "People were concerned."
Lopez is reportedly the owner of the Mercedes and has at least
three prior arrest. Santos has eight prior arrests, some of
which are sealed because he was a juvenile. They were arrested
on 144th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues in Harlem.
Police said they were in an apartment and tried to escape out a
window.
And this isn't the first time the suspects have pulled off a
stunt like this. In 2016, police say Santos did a copycat move,
nearly hitting officers and running a dozen red lights in
Washington Heights. And just a day before the Times Square
incident, police say Lopez fled a traffic stop in the same
Mercedes, taking off on the sidewalk and nearly hitting
officers and people. Additionally, they say officer discovered
Lopez had souped up his car with a device that covered his back
license plate during a traffic stop in June.
"You hold down your brake and gas pedal and hit the gear as
hard as you can," Boyce said. "It slows your brakes and you
skid down the street. Idiots do it."
The Times Square incident, which was caught on video, happened
in the heart of the Crossroads of the World around 11:45 p.m.
Saturday.
Authorities say the officer approached a vehicle that was
driving recklessly near 234 West 42nd Street, but the driver
fled the scene after initially stopping.
The black four-door sedan fled westbound on 42nd Street,
towards Eighth Avenue, clipping the officer. He was taken to
Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries
to his legs and back.

Re: Transfer data from old to new machine
Dear Webby,
My wife will soon be taking possession of a new PC with
Windows10. Can you recommend a product or method
to transfer her files & settings from her old PC which is
running Windows8. I understand I need to manually
install the application software that she needs.
Thanks for a great e-zine - it's an awesome start to the day.
Regards
Mark
Dear Mark
You obviously don't read the ads, that I put here for your
convenience.
Since the 80s LapLink has been THE program for doing that.
Once upon a time LapLink sent a bunch of 360 KB 5 1/4" floppies
and a blue serial port cable. Later they had a yellow printer
port cable for even faster transfers. I still have those!
Nowadays it is done wirelessly or via USB cable like between
your camera and the computer.
It is still done with a program from Laplink, called PC Mover.
PC Mover even re-installs all your programs.
LapLink is the ONLY mover recommended by Microsoft and by
Intel. It even has a total back-up component.
Good Deal! Laplink has never malfunctioned for me, and I have
used it since the 80's.
Have FUN!
DearWebby
Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.
No need to re-install them.

now, can we go?"

A man is driving home late one afternoon,
and he is driving well above the speed limit.
He notices a police car with its red lights
on in his rear view mirror. He thinks "I
can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the
race is on. The cars are racing down the
highway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles per hour.
Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the
guy figures "what the heck," and gives up.
He pulls over to the curb.
The police officer gets out of his cruiser and
approaches the car. He leans down and says,
"Listen mister, I've had a really lousy day,
and I just want to go home. Give me a good
excuse and I'll let you go."
The man thought for a moment and said... "Three
weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer.
When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror,
I thought that *YOU* were the officer and that
you were trying to make her go back to me."

Cream Cheese Sweetheart Cake
By katrine2706 [164 Posts, 54 Comments]
Today I decided to make one with an additional ingredient -
cream cheese. I have always loved to make cheesecake but this
one is a combination of both cheesecake and my favorite
sweetheart snack.
Ingredients:
cake
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup natural brown sugar*
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar or another mild cheese)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup soft butter
glaze
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
3 Tbsp evaporated milk
1/2 tsp lemon extract
Cream Cheese Sweetheart Cake - Ingredients
*The sugar shown is natural granulated sugar, often called
"raw". You substitute either white or brown sugar. I use
natural sugar because it has a mild sweetness compared to
white.
Steps:
Mix flour, sugar and baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl mix soft butter and cream cheese. Whisk until
creamy.
Gradually add in the milk. Continue stirring to properly
incorporate the milk with the creamy mixture.
Gradually pour milk mixture over dry ingredients to avoid
lumps. Mix well until well combined. Stir in some grated
cheese.
Line pan with a greased foil. This is necessary to easily pull
the cake out of the pan when it's cooked.
Pour mixture in the pan. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake
at 180C for 40 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and chill.
Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar, evaporated milk and lemon
extract. Stir until sugar melts completely.
Get the cake and pour glaze over it. Sprinkle with the
remaining grated cheese. Chill for 30 minutes.
Cut into blocks and enjoy.

The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder
pregnant."
The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you
know what pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young student confidently. "Means carrying
a child."

Just after the maid had been fired, she took five bucks from
her purse and threw it to Fido, the family dog. When asked
why by her former employer, she answered:
"I never forget a friend. That was for cleaning the
dishes for me all the time!"
