Tom had proposed to young Maureen and was being
interviewed by his prospective father-in-law.
"Do you think you are earning enough to
support a family?" the older man asked the suitor.

"Yes, sir", replied Tom, "I'm sure I am."

"Think carefully now," said Maureen's father warningly.
"There are twelve of us."

Interview with Yogi Berra

Interviewer: Can you explain jazz? 

Yogi: I can't, but I will. 90% of all jazz is half improvisation.
The other half is the part people play while others are playing
something they never played with anyone who played that part. So if
you play the wrong part, its right. If you play the right part, it
might be right if you play it wrong enough. But if you play it too
right, it's wrong. 

Interviewer: I don't understand. 

Yogi: Anyone who understands jazz knows that you can't understand
it. It's too complicated. That's whats so simple about it. 

Interviewer: Do you understand it? 

Yogi: No. That's why I can explain it. If I understood it, I
wouldnt know anything about it. 

Interviewer: Are there any great jazz players alive today? 

Yogi: No. All the great jazz players alive today are dead. Except
for the ones that are still alive. But so many of them are dead,
that the ones that are still alive are dying to be like the ones
that are dead. Some would kill for it. 

Interviewer: What is syncopation? 

Yogi: That's when the note that you should hear now happens either
before or after you hear it. In jazz, you don't hear notes when
they happen because that would be some other type of music. Other
types of music can be jazz, but only if they're the same as
something different from those other kinds. 

Interviewer: Now I really don't understand. 

Yogi: I haven't taught you enough for you to not understand jazz

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Davon Deangelo Fuller
23,
Holly Hill,
South Carolina

SC crook out of jail for 30 minutes   
then stole a police car

A South Carolina man was back behind bars less than 24 hours after
being released from a Lowcountry jail.

Davon Deangelo Fuller did not waste any time getting back into
trouble with law enforcement.

The 23-year-old Holly Hill man was released from the Hill-Finklea
Detention Center at 9:30 p.m. Monday, abcnews4.com reported.

By 9:55 p.m. Fuller had not left the parking lot, but Moncks Corner
Police said he already committed a crime, according to
live5news.com.

Fuller stole a car   a Berkeley County Sheriff's Office deputy's
car   from the detention center parking lot, live5news.com
reported.

Police said Fuller was caught on surveillance footage hanging
around outside the jail after his release. The video showed him
attempting to open several cars, according to abcnews4.com, which
said he wasn't successful until he got to the patrol car of
Berkeley County Sheriff's deputy Javon Dingle.

The car was unlocked, and a spare set of keys was not the only
thing inside, live5news.com reported. Police said that Dingle's
service pistol was also in the vehicle when Fuller stole the car.

After viewing the surveillance footage, it didn't take law
enforcement long to locate Fuller, who was arrested Tuesday, "in
possession of the car and the gun," in St. Stephen, where police
reported he told officers "he stole the vehicle because he needed a
ride," according to abcnews4.com.

Fuller was charged with grand larceny (value more than $2,000 but
less than $10,000), according to jail records.

Fuller, who had been in jail for unlawful carrying of a pistol, was
behind bars again, this time in the Berkeley County Detention
Center, according to the sheriff's office. He has not had a bond
hearing for the most recent charge.

Re: Choice of picture viewer

Dear Webby
Whenever someone sends me a picture attachment, the
Windows picture viewer pops up with the attachment. How
can I change it so that my Picasa shows the picture instead
of the Windows picture viewer? Is it even possible to change
it to something other than that?
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Joyce

they are a bit confused about it. Instead click on

After a while, it will fill it's window with all the file types and
shows what programs are associated with them.
Find JPG, and change it's file association to Picasa
then do the same for GIF and PNG

When done, hit OK until you are out of all that.

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one
else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't
even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in
the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they
figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs
despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the
past SEVENTEEN YEARS. But if they did, by some miracle, actually
find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged
from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb
would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE
CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?!
BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!! IT'S A
WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE
12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE
AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS . . .

I'm sorry. . .what did you ask me?

A young and arrogant pilot wanted to "show off" on the
aviation frequencies as he was approaching an airfield
during the night.  So, he disregarded policy and, instead
of making an official request to the tower, he said,
"Guess who?"

The air traffic controller switched the field lights off
and replied, "Guess where?"

A circus owner walked into a bar to see everyone crowded about
a table watching a little show. On the table was an upside-down
pot and a duck tap dancing on it. The circus owner was so
impressed that he offered to buy the duck from its owner.
After some wheeling and dealing they settled for $10,000 for
the duck and the pot.

Three days later the circus owner runs back to the bar in
anger, "Your duck is a rip-off! I put him on the pot before a
whole audience and he didn't dance a single step!"

"So?" asked the ducks former owner, "did you remember to light
the candle under the pot?"

Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital with
heart trou8ble. The family called their pastor to stand with them. 

As the pastor stood next to the bed, Fred's condition appeared to
deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write
on. The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper,
and Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he
died.  The pastor thought it best not to look at the note at that
time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.

Several days later, at the funeral, as the pastor was finishing
the eulogy, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that
he was wearing when Fred had died. He said, "you know, ol' Fred
handed me a note just before he died.  I haven't looked at it,
but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there
for us all. Let's have his son read it to us!"

His son opened the note, and read aloud,
"You're standing on my oxygen tube, you useless windbag!"
