Good Morning, !
Today is Wednesday, October 17

By the time you read this I will have had my October shots
into my eyeballs and will be stumbling around groping walls
and of course any females within reach. 
It is surprising what one can get away with while wearing 
dark glasses at the Eye Center. 
Some even grope back!

That means I won't be sending out newsletters or 
answering mail or Skype for 3 days.

Enjoy your vacation!

Two paradoxes are better than one; 
they may even suggest a solution.
--- Edward Teller (1908 - 2003)
______________________________________________________

Masculine, Feminine... 

Male or Female? You might not have known this, but a lot of non-
living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some
examples: 

FREEZER BAGS
They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see
right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS
These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to
warm them up again.

They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons
are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong
buttons.

TIRES
Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over
inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOONS
Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have
to light a fire under their butt.

SPONGES
These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain
water.

WEB PAGES
Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently
getting hit on.

TRAINS
Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for
picking up people.

HOURGLASS
An hourglass is female because, over time, all the weight shifts
to the bottom.

HAMMERS
Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at
all, and are occasionally handy to have around.

THE REMOTE CONTROL
Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider
this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it,
and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just
keeps trying

Little Johnny's father was a pastor in a small church. One day,
his father told Little Johnny that a very important bishop was
coming and that he would be staying with them. Little Johnny
became very excited and asked his father if he would get to meet
him.  His father thought about this and decided that he would let
Little Johnny bring the bishop tea in the morning and wake him
up. Little Johnny agreed to do this and was very excited.

His father gave him instructions: first, knock on the door of the
bishops room and then say to him "It's the boy, my Lord, it's
time to get up."

Little Johnny was very excited and rehearsed his lines repeating
them over and over. Finally the day came and Little Johnny had
learned all his lines. He went to the door and knocked. He was so
excited and nervous though that his lines got mixed up and the
boy said, "It's the Lord, my boy, and your time is up!"

Three paramedics were boasting about improvements
in their respective ambulance team's response times.

"Since we installed our new satellite navigation
system," bragged the first one, "we cut our emergency
response time by ten percent."

The other paramedics nodded in approval.  "Not bad,"
the second paramedic commented.  "But by using a
computer model of traffic patterns, we've cut our
average ERT by 20 percent."

Again, the other team members gave their congratulations,
until the third paramedic said, "That's nothing!
Since our ambulance driver passed the bar exam,
we've cut our emergency response time in half!"

Ryan Dean Langdale, 19,
Ruffin

SC man shot cousin over potato chips

A South Carolina man was arrested and charged with attempted
murder after shooting his cousin over a bag of salt and vinegar
potato chips, according to news reports.

Authorities in Colleton County took Ryan Dean Langdale, 19, into
custody Wednesday after learning the details about the shooting
of his 17-year-old cousin on Sept. 29, The Post and Courier
reported.

The shooting happened in Ruffin about 60 miles west of
Charleston.

Langdale first told investigators that the victim accidentally
shot himself when he dropped a hunting rifle, according to the
newspaper. 

But after undergoing surgery for the gunshot wound, the victim
admitted to authorities that Langdale shot him over a bag of
chips.

 Do not touch my chips, or I'll shoot you,  Langdale told his
cousin, the Post reported, citing a sheriff's incident report.

Langdale then grabbed a rifle, pointed it at the victim and  the
rifle went off,  the report said.

Langdale was arrested and held on a $55,000 bail, according to
the Post.

He's charged with attempted murder, using a firearm in a violent
crime and obstructing justice, according to the newspaper.

Salt and vinegar potato chips are easy to come by in Colleton
County and the victim reportedly told investigators he never
actually ate the chips.

Re: Computer slowing down

Dear Webby
My computer slows down whenever I have 3-4 Windows open.
I used to be able to have a dozen of then open without a
problem. If i don't reboot it when it slows down, it stalls and
hangs and I have to shut it off the hard way.
I don't think it is infected, since I use Spybot and McAfee.
What's the prescribed fix?
Denise

Dear Denise

and run it. It is free, and it will make a huge difference. It
has helped everybody to whom I recommended it.

It was a hectic day of running errands with my wife and son. As 
if the stress weren't enough, four-year-old Christopher insisted 
on asking questions about everything, told me how to drive 
better, and sang every song he knew. 
Finally, fed up with the incessant chatter, I made him an offer: 
"Christopher, if you'll be quiet for just a few minutes, I'll
give you a quarter." 
It worked. 

But when we stopped for lunch, I unknowingly began to harp on 
him. "Christopher, sit up straight ... don't spill your drink ...

don't talk with your mouth full." 

Finally he said seriously, "Dad, if you'll be quiet for just a
few minutes, I'll give you a quarter."

A pious man, who had reached the age of 105, suddenly stopped
going to synagogue.
Alarmed by the old fellow's absence after so many years of
faithful attendance, the Rabbi went to see him. He found him in
excellent health, so the Rabbi asked, "How come after all these
years we don't see you at services anymore?"

The old man lowered his voice. "I'll tell you, Rabbi," he
whispered. "When I got to be 90, I expected God to take me any
day. But then I got to be 95, then 100, then 105. So, I figured
that God is very busy and must've forgotten about me, and I don't
want to remind Him!"

During cold weather, I put the fitted sheet on as usual
then I put a blanket on and tuck it in. Another blanket goes
on top of that one and then I proceed with the flat sheet
and as many other blankets and quilts as we need. No
need for an electric blanket!

Little Susie came running into the house after school one day,
shouting, "Daddy! Daddy!  I got a 100 in school today!"

"That's great, Sweetheart," said her daddy.  "Come in the living
room and tell me about it."

"Well," began the confession, "I got 50 in spelling, 30 in math,
and 20 in science."

Hailey, 4, heard a thunderstorm rumbling overhead and asked her 
parents and grandparents to listen to it. After the thunder
stopped, Hailey told everyone to be quiet for a minute and she
began to pray and asked God to stop the thunder and lightning. 

Immediately after she said "Amen," another clap of thunder was
heard.

Hailey looked up towards heaven and said, "You're not listening!"
