That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to
displease the people by doing what you know is right,
than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is
wrong.

Today's Bonehead Award:
Jury Convicts Naked Nanny
__________________________________________
A two-engine train is on a cross-country run. After it
goes some distance, one of the engines breaks down.
"No problem," the engineer thinks, and carries on at
half-power. Farther on down the line, the other engine
breaks down, and the train comes to a standstill. The
engineer decides he should inform the passengers about
why the train has stopped, and makes the following
announcement:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad
news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and
we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is
that this is a train and not a plane."

How often have we heard that television watching can be
detrimental? A pastor carried that message one Sunday
morning in an impassioned sermon on the evils of TV.
"It steals away precious time that could be better spent
on other things," he said. He advised the congregation to
do what he and his family had done. "We put our TV away
in the closet."
"That's right," his wife muttered to the woman next to
her, "and it gets awfully crowded in there!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Jury Convicts Naked Nanny
Sarah Slicker,
23,
St. Petersburg,
Florida
Sarah Slicker. A Florida jury this week found the 23-
year-old woman guilty of lewd conduct for stripping off
her clothes at the request of a four-year-old boy she was
babysitting. The nanny, who testified that she disrobed
last January to satisfy the tyke's curiosity, was
discovered naked on a couch when the child's mother
returned home unexpectedly.
Slicker, who now must register as a sex offender, was
jailed in advance of her February 25 sentencing, at which
she could receive up to 15 years in prison.
Slicker, pictured above in a St. Petersburg Police
Department mug shot, told cops that the incident was not
sexual in nature, that she 'just wanted him to know for
when he was older.

Dear Webby
You had some nifty keyboard tricks at one time.
Can you run them again, please?
Thanks!

it shows you Chrome, hit Enter and it launches it.
If you prefer fast keyboard action over slow mousing
around, you will love it!
You can also use it as an adding machine, that shows a
ribbon of your input. For a lot of simple stuff, there is
no need to start a spreadsheet.

Consider the respected church leader who arrives in a
large city to deliver a series of speeches. At a banquet
the first evening, he notices some reporters in the
audience.
Because he wants to use some of the stories he tells that
night in his talks the next day, the minister asks the
reporters to omit them from their articles.
Unfortunately, one newspaper had sent a cub reporter. In
his story, he outlines the minister's talk.
His final paragraph: "The minister also told a number of
stories that cannot be printed."

With more people traveling, the airlines seem to have
more problems keeping passengers happy. At the end of one
flight, however, one smiling, very satisfied fellow
pauses to congratulate the flight attendant.
"I want to compliment you and the crew and especially the
captain for getting here right on time," he says.
"It's not often anymore that an airline gets to where
it's going exactly when they claim it will. I'm going to
call your home office and let them know how pleased I
am."
"Why, thank you, sir," the flight attendant answers, "but
I think you should know -- this is yesterday's flight."
_____________________________________________
Consider the man who told all his friends about a
delicious steak dinner he'd eaten in a new restaurant the
day before. The steak was big and picture-perfect, done
to perfection. So a group of his friends decided to see
if it was that good, and took the man along as their
guest. Much to everyone's disappointment, the waiter
brought the tiniest steaks they'd ever seen, overcooked
and dry.
"See here," the man said to the waiter. "I was in this
restaurant yesterday and you served me a big juicy steak,
and now today, when I've organized a party, you serve
such a shriveled up, overcooked one."
"Yes, sir," replied the waiter. "But yesterday you were
sitting by the window."
____________________________________________
Consider the fellow who was working on a painting of a
beautiful young woman. Try as he might, he tried to
concentrate on his work, but he was attracted to his
model. Finally, he could resist no longer. He threw down
his palette, took her in his arms and kissed her.
She pushed him away. "Maybe your other models let you
kiss them," she said, "But not this one."
"But I've never tried to kiss a model before," he swore.
"Really," she said, softening. "How many models have
there been?"
"Four," he replied. "A jug, two apples and a vase."
