Nancy called me as she was driving to an
appointment. She arrived, and I could tell from her voice
that she was getting frustrated. Finally she said, "I know I
had my cell phone with me. And now I can't find it!"

I replied, "Aren't you talking on it!?"

There was a solid period of stunned silence as the reality
of the situation sank in - followed by, "You are NOT going
to tell anybody about this!"

Thanks to Connie for this report:
In a small town, a man just opened a small store selling
trumpets and guns. One day his neighbor pays him a visit
and says: "So how is your strange business going?"

"What do you mean strange?"

"Because you sell only trumpets and guns!"

"So?"

"Well, let me put it this way, what do you sell the most,
trumpets or guns?"

"It evens itself out. Each time a customer buys a trumpet,
one of his neighbors buys a gun."

At a local coffee bar, a young woman was expounding on her 
idea of the perfect mate to some of her friends. "The man I 
marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must 
be musical. Tell jokes. Sing. And stay home at night!"

A grandmotherly patron at the next table overheard and 
spoke up, "Girl, what you are asking for is a television set!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Marissa Lucero,
18,
Milwaukee,
Wisconsin

Milwaukee woman, 18, facing 2nd DUI charge 
after leading deputies on 100 mph chase

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office tells FOX6 News an 18-year-
old Milwaukee woman was arrested for her second OWI offense early
Tuesday morning, Nov. 27. Officials say Marissa Lucero led
deputies on a chase reaching speeds of 100 mph.

According to the sheriff's office, just after midnight deputies
tracked a vehicle traveling on I-43 going 71 in a 50 mph zone.

Authorities attempted to stop the vehicle, but it did not stop. A
chase ensued and officials say the fleeing driver reached speeds
in excess of 100 mph and veered through traffic.

After exiting at Capitol Drive, officials say the vehicle struck
a curb and damaged a front tire and axle. It came to a stop on a
median near Messmer High School.

The chase wasn't over. Lucero can be seen making a run for it
just as backup arrives. Law enforcement can be seen giving chase.
Lucero was captured by deputies and arrested.

While leading Lucero back to the squad car, emotions took over.
Lucero can be heard screaming for her mother over and over.

Deputies found a half bottle of vodka on the front passenger
floor of the vehicle she crashed.

Two deputies received minor injuries in the chase.

The sheriff's office says this is Lucero's second OWI offense --
with a previous arrest in May of this year. Lucero was not
allowed to be behind the wheel due to the previous conviction.

According to the sheriff's office, Lucero faces felony charges of
Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude an Officer, 2nd Degree Recklessly
Endangering Safety, and Resisting/Obstructing an Officer-Causing
Soft Tissue Injury. Lucero will also receive a misdemeanor charge
of Operating After Revocation-OWI-related, citations for
speeding, and Refuse to Submit to Intox/Blood.

If convicted on all charges, Lucero faces up to 20 years and nine
months in prison.

Lucero's bail has been set at over $6,000, so that she can afford
to have another dingbat malfunction by the time she goes to
court.

Re: My own web site

Dear Webby,
You advertise web space from $2.50 up. I can get web space
for free from my ISP, but their support is somewhere in Asia
and anything but helpful. They just deal with complaints and
don't volunteer any useful information. For design they charge
a ridiculous amount that obviously is just intended to totally
discourage that avenue.

I would imagine that the design costs extra even with your
set-up. What would be a reasonable guess for a small business
site? 
George

Dear George
That depends entirely on how much information you can provide.
Actual design is cheap, because we are good and fast with it.
However, interrogation to drag the information out of you, 
about what you might want on your site, that is $150 / hour.

If you gather the information together and put it into an email,
attach the pictures you want on the site and describe what
you want to accomplish, then the design will be $50.
We will set it up with re-usable blocks like headers, side-menu,
footers, etc. and easy to update content blocks. 

For a consistent corporate look and feel you can clone any
page and just use a different content block, and we show you
how to do that.

With our system, the only difficult part is the getting around
to getting started gathering your info.

Have FUN!

A bus of politicians is driving by a farm where a man lives
alone. The bus driver, caught up in the beautiful scenery,
loses control and crashes into the ditch. The man comes
out and finding the politicians, buries them.

The next day, the police are at the farm questioning the
man. "So you buried all the politicians?" asked the police
officer. "Were they all dead?"

The man answered, "Some said they weren't, but you know
how politicians lie."

A kind-hearted fellow was walking through Central Park in
New York and was astonished to see an old man, fishing
rod in hand, fishing over a beautiful bed of lillies.
"Tch Tch!" said the passerby to himself. "What a sad sight.
That poor old man is fishing over a bed of flowers. I'll see if I
can help."

So the kind fellow walked up to the old man and asked,
"What are you doing, my friend?"

"Fishin', sir."

"Fishin', eh. Well how would you like to come have a drink
with me?"

The old man stood up, put his rod away and followed the
kind stranger to the corner bar. He ordered a large glass of
beer and a fine cigar.

His host, the kind fellow, felt good about helping the old
man, and he asked, "Tell me, old friend, how many did you
catch this morning?"

The old fellow took a long drag on the cigar, blew a careful
smoke ring and replied, "You are the sixth today, sir!"

Morris was in his usual place in the morning sitting at the
table, reading the paper after breakfast.  He came across an
article about a beautiful actress that was about to marry a
football player who was known primarily for his lack of IQ and
common knowledge.

He turned to his wife Sherry, with a look of question on his
face. "I'll never understand why the biggest schmucks get the
most attractive wives."

His wife replies, "Why thank you, dear!"
