Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.
--- Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988) 

Insane people are always sure that they are fine. 
It is only the sane people who are willing to admit 
that they are crazy.

Thanks to Irene for this story:
My husband and I were at a restaurant and before we were
seated my husband said he needed to use the bathroom he
went off and did his business, When he finally returned I
notice a very LONG piece of toilet paper hanging out of
the back of his pants. 

Before I could say anything everyone started laughing and
pointing, of course he still had no clue,  that is until some
young guy approached him, and asked him if he was receiving a
fax!

Constant nagging didn't seem to provide any relief from having to

clean up the bathroom after each of my three teenage children.
After I cleaned it one day, I resorted to posting a sign that
read: "Please leave the bathroom as you found it." I noticed the
bathroom was in the usual mess after my son used it, so I called,
"Brian, how did you find the bathroom?" 

After a brief pause, he replied, "Straight down the 
hall, first door on the right."

Sick Day 
I'm feeling sick and getting worse. 
I think I'd better see the nurse.
I'm sure I should go home today.
It could be fatal if I stay.
I'm nauseated, nearly ill.
I have a fever and a chill.
I have a cold. I have the flu.
I'm turning green and pink and blue.
I have the sweats. I have the shakes,
a stuffy nose, and bellyaches.

My knees are weak. My vision's blurred.
My throat is sore. My voice is slurred.
I'm strewn with head lice, ticks, and mites.
I'm covered in mosquito bites.
I have a cough, a creak, a croak,
a reddish rash from poison oak,
a feeble head, a weakened heart.

I may just faint or fall apart.
I sprained my ankle, stubbed my toes,
and soon I'll start to decompose.
And one more thing I have today
that makes me have to go away.

It's just as bad as all the rest:
I also have a science test.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Deanna Seltzer,

Woman attacks parents for not taking her to Outback

A woman from Lake Worth is accused of attacking her parents with
a knife for not taking her to Outback Steakhouse.

Deanna Seltzer, 28, is facing two counts of aggravated assault,
battery, and battery on a person over 65 years old.

A report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Seltzer
became enraged after she asked her parents to go to Outback on
Wednesday afternoon. Her mom said "No." That's when Seltzer
flipped over the glass dining room table and other furniture
throughout the home. Deputies said she also hit her mom, grabbed
a 12-inch decorative knife and chased her dad around the home,
threatening to kill him. Her father eventually wrestled the knife
away from her.

Seltzer is free on bond. A judge ordered her to undergo a mental
health evaluation within days of her release from jail.



>From Anna
While visiting my son on his Army base, I chatted with 
a colleague of his.

"What rank are you?" I asked.

"I'm relieved to say that I've just been promoted from 
captain to major."

"Relieved? Why?"

"Because," he replied, "my last name is Hook."

Re: Big downloads

Dear DearWebby,
Is there a location to get a current copy of Libre Office from. 
I am not way savvy on this stuff & made a mess of trying to 
download it. It gave me several dowloading errors & I could 
not get it to open properly. Paying a fee for a clean current 
copy is no problem.
 
Now that I have read your news letter I can go have my morning
tea.
Thanx,
     Steve J.

Dear Steve
It is a huge file, about 120 MB,
and on slow dial-up will take a long time to download.
If you have a neighbor or friend with a high speed 
connection, give them a blank CD and ask them to 
download it and burn it onto the CD for you.
CD's are cheap, but shipping is not. Try to get one burned
within walking distance.

Personally, I would just start the download before you go to bed.
By morning it will be finished even on a very slow dial-up.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

In a small town, farmers of the community had gotten
together to discuss some important issues. About midway
through the meeting, a wife of one of the farmers stood up
and spoke her piece.

One of the old farmers stood up and said, "What does she
know about anything? I would like to ask her if she knows
how many toes a pig has?"

Quick as a flash, the woman replied, 
"Take off your boots John,
and count them yourself!"

A young woman was preparing a ham dinner.  After she cut
off the end of the ham, she placed it in a pan for baking.  Her
friend asked her,"Why did you cut off the end of the ham"?
And she replied ,"I really don't know but my mother always
did, so I thought you were supposed to."

Later when talking to her mother she asked her why she cut
off the end of the ham before baking it, and her mother
replied,"I really don't know, but that's the way my mom
always did it."

A few weeks later while visiting her grandmother, the young
woman asked, "Grandma, why is it that you cut off the end
of a ham before you bake it?"

Her grandmother replied ,"Well dear, otherwise it would 
never fit into my baking pan, because hams were bigger in those
days."

Caring For Cut Flowers 
Using pruning shears (not scissors), make a fresh cut at the 
bottom of the stem under running water. Strip away all leaves 
that will be below the water line so they don't rot. Change the 
water once a day and add 2 Tbsp. of sugar to act as a 
preservative.

An elderly Dutch man asked the local priest to hear his
confession.

"Father, during World War II a beautiful woman knocked on my 
door and asked me to hide her from the Germans. I hid her in 
my attic."

The priest replied: "That was a wonderful thing you did, 
my son, and you have no need to confess."

"It's worse, Father. I was weak and told her she must repay 
me with her sexual favours."

"You were both in great danger and would have suffered 
terribly if the Germans had found her. Heaven, in its wisdom 
and mercy, will balance the good and evil, and judge you 
kindly. You are forgiven."

"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I 
have one more question."

"And what is that?"

"Should I tell her the war is over?"

Thanks to Andrew for this story:
When my mother was called for jury duty, she felt confident 
of her ability to answer the questions asked of prospective 
jurors.

As a young attorney, I had filled her in on what to expect.

Asked about the occupations of family members, Mom 
answered, "My son is a lawyer."

As a follow-up, she was asked if she had ever used the 
services of an attorney.

"Only to mow my lawn."

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the

I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
