Eighty percent of married men cheat in America. 
The rest cheat in Europe.

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; 
But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head
examined.

>From Jean
A woman goes to a counselor, worried about her husband's temper.
The counselor asks, "What's the problem?

The woman says, "I don't know what to do. Every day my husband
loses his temper for no reason. It scares me."

The Counselor says, "I have a cure for that. When it seems your
husband is getting angry, take a double shot of Jack Daniel's and
swish it in your mouth. Swish and swish, but don't swallow until
he either leaves the room or calms down."

Two weeks later, she goes back to the counselor, looking fresh
and reborn.

She tells the counselor, "That was a brilliant idea. Every time
my husband started to get angry, I swished the Jack. I swished
and swished, and he calmed down.  How does swishing Jack Daniel's
in your mouth do that?

The counselor said, "The Jack Daniel's does nothing. Keeping your
mouth shut is the trick.

A radical feminist is getting on a bus when, just
in front of her, a man gets up from his seat.

She thinks to herself, "Here's another man trying
to keep up the customs of a patriarchal society by
offering a poor, defenseless woman his seat," so
she pushes him back onto the seat.

A few minutes later, the man tries to get up again.
She is still insulted so she refuses to let him
up again.

Finally, the man says, "Look, lady, you've got to
let me get up. I'm twelve blocks past my stop
already."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Richard J. Betters Jr.,
Schenectady,
New York

Schenectady man mistakenly texted 
drug offer to detective

A Schenectady man apparently got his phone numbers mixed up, and
that got him arrested, police said.

Richard J. Betters Jr. is facing a charge of third-degree
criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony, after he
sent a text message of a drug offer to a Rotterdam police
detective, police said.

The detective played along with the offer and arrested Betters,
44, of 626 Lansing St., on Tuesday at the Rotterdam Taco Bell,
where Betters was found to be in possession of 20 Oxycodone
pills, police said.

“It’s kind of an unusual one,” Rotterdam Police Lt. William Male
said of the case.

Police believe Betters had the detective’s mobile number because
of prior dealings the detective had with him.

Betters’ mugshot showed facial injuries that were present when
police encountered him, Male said.

Betters was arraigned and ordered held on $20,000 bail.

Re: USB versus FireWire

Dear DearWebby,
What is the difference between a usb 3.5 inch firewire enclosure
and a usb drive enclosure?
Thanks for all the help and answers.
Earl

Dear Earl
FireWire is for Apple (Mac) machines, USB is for PC.
You can use the same hard drive, but the connection to the
machine is different. The hard drive enclosure is the adapter.

If you run Windows, then you need a USB enclosure, if you run a
Mac OS, then you need a FireWire enclosure.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together.
After the man received the full treatment - shave, manicure,
haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

"I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he
said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

When the boy's haircut was done and the man still hadn't
returned, the barber said, "It looks like your daddy forgot
all about you."

"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up,
took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna
get a free haircut!'"

Laura's husband, Ron, was called into his bank to discuss
his accounts.

"Your finances are in terrible shape," the banker stated. "Your
checking account is overdrawn, your loan is overdue."

"Yes, I know." said Ron. "It's my wife Laura, she is out of
control."

"Why do you allow your wife to spend more money than you 
have?" asked the banker.

"Frankly," replied Ron with a deep sigh, "because I'd rather
argue with you than with her."

Kyle and Justin were about to eat with the baby sitter when
6-year-old Kyle said, "You can't sit in Daddy's seat!"

Daddy's not home," the baby sitter replied.  "Since I'm
responsible for you while he's gone, I can sit here.  Today
I'm the boss."

Justin, the 4 year old, quickly piped up,   "If you're the boss,
you sit over there in Mommy's chair!"

At one point in my life I had considered joining the Baptist
Church. For those of you who don't know, the Baptists
practice total body immersion to baptize a person.

Luckily I even knew a minister in that faith, having dated
his daughter, and I asked him if he would consider performing
the service.

He paused a minute or two, gave me a long thoughtful look
and said, "If you're serious about this, a dipping just
won't do it for you. We'll have to find a place to anchor you
overnight."

Lynn reported for her university final
examination that consists of "yes/no" type
questions. She takes her seat in the examination
hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes,
and then in a fit of inspiration takes her purse
out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and
marking the answer sheet "Yes" for Heads and "No"
for Tails. 

Within half an hour she is all done,
whereas the rest of the class is sweating it out.
During the last few minutes, she is seen desperately
throwing the coin, muttering and sweating. The
moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks what is
going on. "I finished the exam in half an hour, but
I'm rechecking my answers."
