 ___________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor:  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Eric Little, 34, Largo, Floriduh  Meth, fentanyl stashed with McDonald's grub  A search of a Chicken McNuggets container yielded baggies of methamphetamine and fentanyl that were nestled alongside the McDonald's fried delights, according to Florida police who arrested an alleged poultry/narcotics enthusiast on felony charges. During a 3:15 AM encounter yesterday at an extended stay hotel in Largo, a Tampa suburb, cops searched a backpack in the possession of Eric Little, a 34-year-old whose rap sheet includes convictions for assault, narcotics possession, and violating probation. Investigators found a used syringe inside the backpack, along with a container of Chicken McNuggets. An examination of the container revealed that it held McNuggets & approx. 7.5 grams of methamphetamine and a bag of fentanyl weighing 1.3 grams, according to court affidavits. Little, seen above, was arrested on a pair of felony narcotics possession charges and a misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia count. He was freed last night from the county jail after posting $4150 bond. Little, whose employer is listed in police records as an assisted living facility, is scheduled for a September 5 court appearance. While the meth and fentanyl were seized as evidence, Little's Chicken McNuggets appear to have been discarded. 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Bev Re: Pictures not good for printing  Dear Webby, took your advice and got the Canon SD 880 Elph camera and I love it. The problem that I have is, I want to print them on 4X6 photo paper and it will only give me a vertical slice of the picture. My printer is Canon 310. I need a program that will let me flip the picture and compress it down to that size. Please tell me what I need to do in idiot language since I'm such a novice at this. Computer is Windows W7. Thank you, Bev  Dear Bev Personally, I am a fan of PSP (Paint Shop Pro) since about 1992. However, any graphics program will do for simple turning and re-sizing, even the free Microsoft Paint program. It has improved dramatically over the decades and will do that quite nicely. If you can afford it, get PSP. Otherwise just look for any free graphics program for now, and put PSP on the Santa Claus list. Have FUN! DearWebby

 After a heart-transplant operation, the patient was receiving instructions from his doctor. He was placed on a strict diet, denied alcohol and advised to get at least four hours' sleep a night. Finally, the patient asked: "What about my sex life, Doc? Will it be all right for me to have intercourse?" "Just with your wife," responded the doctor. We don't want you to get too excited for a while."

 ___________________________________________________ Poor Ole was having trouble getting his neighbor to keep his chickens fenced in. The neighbor kept telling him the chickens had the right to go where they wanted. But the birds were ruining Ole's prize-winning flowerbeds. Two weeks later, a friend visited Ole and noticed his flowerbeds were doing great. The flowers were even beginning to bloom! The friend asked, "How did you make your neighbor keep his hens in his own yard?" Ole replied, "Easy! One night I hid a dozen eggs under a bush by my flower bed, and the next day I let my neighbor see me gather them. He put up a fence and I haven't been bothered since." ___________________________________________________ A woman goes into a meat market and asks the butcher why his porkchops are 99 cents a pound when the guy across the street is selling his for 89 cents? The butcher says: "Well then, why don't you go over there and buy his?" The lady says: "He doesn't have any." The butcher says: "Well thats nothing, when I don't have any, I sell mine for 79 cents." ___________________________________________________ A guy goes to a girl's house for the first time and she shows him into the living room. She excuses herself to go to the kitchen to make them a few drinks. As he's standing there alone, he notices a cute little vase on the mantel. He picks it up and as he's looking at it, she walks back in. He says, "What's this?" She says, "Oh, my father's ashes are in there." He turns beat red in horror and goes, "Geez, oh..I..." She says, "Yeah, he's too lazy to go to the kitchen to get an ashtray." __________________________________________________
