A Florida officer pulls over eighty-six-year-old Mrs. Pooshpa
because her hand signals were confusing.

"First you put your hand up, like you're turning right, then you
wave your hand up and down, then you turn left," said the
officer.

"I decided not to turn right," she explains.

"Then why the up and down?" asks the officer.

"Officer," she sniffs, "I was erasing!"

An old man decided his old wife was getting hard of hearing. So
he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing
checked.

The Doctor said he could see her in two weeks, and meanwhile
there's a simple, informal test the husband could do to give the
doctor some idea of the dimensions of the problem.
"Here's what you do. Start about 40 feet away from her, and
speak in a normal conversational tone and see if she hears you.
If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a
response."

So that evening she's in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in
the living room, and he says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet
away, let's see what happens." "Honey, what's for supper?"

No response.
So he moves to the other end of the room, about 30 feet away.
"Honey, what's for supper?"

No response.
So he moves into the dining room, about 20 feet away. "Honey,
what's for supper?"

No response.
On to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for
supper?".

No response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"
"For the fifth time," she screams, "CHICKEN!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by 

Philip James Conran, 
42, 
West Hartford,
Connecticut,
USA

Fake Craigslist "Group Sex" Bust

In a bid to torment a female neighbor with whom he was fighting,
the Connecticut man allegedly placed a phony Craigslist ad
directing men seeking 'group sex' to the woman's home, police
charge. Conran, a 42-year-old chef, today made his initial court
appearance in connection with reckless endangerment and
harassment counts filed as a result of the fake April 5 online
classified.

Investigators tied Conran to the Craigslist 'casual encounters'
posting--which was purportedly placed by a 'West Hartford soccer
mom' and headlined 'looking for lust'--through an analysis of
records obtained from Craigslist and AT&T Internet Services,
according to an arrest affidavit. When cops tracked an IP
address to Conran's home, he confessed to posting the 'party
sex' ad directing men to next-door neighbor Terry Sharp's
Dartmouth Avenue home.

Conran, free on $75,000 bond, is the second person to be
arrested as a result of the Craigslist posting. Richard Zeh, one
of about a dozen men who showed up to answer the ad, was charged
with burglary, sexual assault, and trespassing after he groped
and made obscene comments to a 18-year-old woman. Zeh, a 29-
year-old personal trainer, accosted the woman after mistakenly
going to the wrong West Hartford address. Zeh told police that
he was 'bored' when he decided to answer the Craigslist ad. He
acknowledged that the button on his shorts had 'fallen off' and
that his 'pubic hair and his erect penis could have been
sticking out of his pants' when he walked into the teenager's
residence.

RE: Colors in W10


Dear Webby,
It used to be easy to change colors for different components of
Windows, so of course they screwed that up with W10.
How is it done now? I want to change the colors of SELECTED
items. Since apparently nobody selects the f*ggy liberals, that
word is no longer in there.

How is it done now?
Thanks
Maryann

Dear Maryann
Yes, the unselected liberals did indeed murder the word
SELECTED. The politically correct term is now "Accented". 
Yeah, how schdooopid is THAT!

Click on START, SETTINGS, PESONALIZATION, COLORS.
In there you can mess around all you want.

Make 300% sure you do NOT choose "High Contrast"
unless the lid on the dumpster is open. That setting will screw
everything up. 

Other than that, you might wind up with a weird color scheme,
but you can safely reverse that and get back to usable colors.
And "SELECTED" is now "Accented". 
Excuse me while I puke!

Have FUN!
DearWebby

When young Jose, newly arrived in the United States, made his
first trip to Yankee Stadium, there were no tickets left for
sale. Touched by his disappointment, a friendly ticket salesman
found him a perch near the American flag. Later, Jose wrote home
enthusiastically about his experience.

"And the Americans, they are so friendly!" he concluded. "Before
the game started, they all stood up and looked at me and sang,

'Jose, can you see?'"

A 4-year-old boy who was asked to return thanks before
Christmas dinner. The family members bowed their heads in
expectation.

He began his prayer, thanking God for all his friends,
naming them one by one. Then he thanked God for Mommy,
Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts
and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food.

He gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit
salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even the
Cool Whip. Then he paused, and everyone waited--and waited.
After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his
mother and asked, "If I thank God for the broccoli, won't
he know that I'm lying?"
