His wife, Kathy, apparently heard a plane flying low overhead. She noticed the plane's landing lights were on and said, "Must not be a widespread power outage -- the plane's lights are on." She was lucky she was not downtown. I heard that during the latest power failure in Los Angeles thousands of people were trapped for hours on store escalators. ______________________________________________________  The visiting church school supervisor asks little Johnny during Bible class who broke down the walls of Jericho. Little Johnny replies that he does not know, but it definitely was not him. The supervisor, taken aback by this lack of basic Bible knowledge goes to the school principal and relates the whole incident. The principal replies that he knows little Johnny as well as his whole family very well and can vouch for them, if little Johnny said that he did not do it, he as principal is satisfied that it is the truth. Even more appalled the inspector goes to the regional Head of Education and relates the whole story. After listening he replies: "I cannot see why you are making such a big issue out of this; just get three quotations and we'll choose a contractor to fix the silly wall." ______________________________________________________ A 3-year-old went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother that there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens. "How did you know?" his mother asked. "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the bottom." ______________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________

 ______________________________________________________ Reported by Walter, the Stonecarver An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Michael Chedester, St. Clairsville, Ohio  Hunter accused of killing mans beloved working dogs is charged, loses job.  The hunter accused of shooting and killing a Belmont County mans two beloved dogs now faces charges, and hes lost his job. According to court records, Michael Chedester, of St. Clairsville, faces two counts of cruelty to animals. His arraignment is set for Dec. 8. The charges are the first of their kind in Belmont County under the newly-passed Goddards Law. Pete Byers, the owner of the dogs named Bella and Emmy, first posted about the situation on Monday and it quickly spread on social media. Byers told WTOV that he was getting ready to head to Pittsburgh with his dogs for a work trip when they disappeared Monday. A search group assembled and eventually found Chedester, who had a tree stand in the area. Byers said he asked Chedester if he killed the dogs. He said the hunter admitted to shooting them and offered to buy him two new ones. Byers said he found his dogs in a brush pile near the tree stand after spotting Emmys paw sticking out from under the logs. Chedester had cut their collars off to keep as trophies. According to WTOV, Chedester told authorities that the dogs had chased a deer past his stand at least three times. The third time, he said, they stopped under his stand. Chedester then allegedly shot one of the dogs. Belmont County Prosecutor Dan Fry said he believes the bullet that hit that dog also hit the second dog. Then Chedester allegedly shot the second dog. The charges were filed Wednesday. If the bonehead had paid attention instead of playing with himself, he would have realized that the dogs were bringing a deer to him three times, just like high priced hunting dogs are trained to do. WTOV reports that Chedester has also been fired from his forestry supervisor job with American Electric Power. A statement from AEP to WTOV says: AEP expects the highest level of conduct from our employees, both on the job and outside of work. We are saddened by the situation that unfolded this week involving an off-duty AEP Ohio employee and the death of the two dogs. This individual is no longer employed by AEP. As a felon, his gun owning days are over. As an asshole, I expect he will get a lot of hate-mail.  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Fran RE: Camera to computer Dear Webby, Dear Webby What is better, a camera that downloads directly to the computer, or a camera where you have to remove a chip and copy from that into the computer. one of my friends has one type, another friend has the other type, and of course each claims their version is better. What is YOUR recommendation ? Fran  Dear Fran The better cameras offer both methods, but if you have a choice, you throw away the camera-to-computer cable. (Keep the camera-to-TV cable) If you are limited to downloading directly to the computer via a very special cable and program, you are totally out of luck if your camera's memory is full while you are on a canoe trip and don't have the computer along. If you have removable chips, you pop out the full chip and push in the next one. Those memory chips are very sturdy, and they just fit into the parking meter change pockets that you get on some belts or can easily make with a bit of cloth glued to the back side of the belt. A memory chip reader is $4 - $15 and reads all modern memory chips. Personally, I use mostly 2 GB chips, and I also use them instead of floppies. Yep, no more slow and fragile 1.4 MB floppies if you can use 2 GB chips that run at almost the same speed as a hard drive. When you slide that memory chip into the reader or the computer, you instantly have an extra harddrive. You can then copy the pictures from the chip or even edit them right on the chip. While on a trip, I usually crop and size pictures and then use FileZilla to upload the pictures to the net, right from the chip, and of course also drag them to the laptop. Have FUN! DearWebby     An English soldier, an American solider and a Russian soldier found themselves sharing a table in a Bosnian restaurant, and the conver sation turned towards how well fed each of them was. "In the Russian army we have 2000 calories of food a day" said the Russian. "Well", said the Englishman, "In the British army we are given 4000 calories of food a day." "That's nothing", said the American, "in the US army we have 8000 calories of food a day". At this the Russian got very annoyed. "Nonsense", he said, "how could one man eat that much cabbage!!!."
