Once, when confronted by a young reporter from a Dallas newspaper,he agreed to do an interview with the scrappy young reporter, if only to bring a good name to the Jewish community among his big ranching neighbors. The first meaningful question out of the young reporter's mouth was, "So why do you wear only one spur?" To which Shane Blumberg replied, "Well, I wasn't born with silver spurs on my boots, and besides, the way I figure, when one side of a horse starts to run, so will the other." ___________________________________________________ A man goes to Frederick's of Hollywood. He wants to buy his wife the most sheer lingerie he can find. The woman behind the counter goes and gets an outfit. "This is $200," she says. "I want one that's more sheer," says he. "This one is $350." "I want it even more sheer than that." "This one is the most sheer that we have. It's $500." "I'll take it!" The man goes home to his wife and shows it to her, saying, "Go put this on and come down to model it for me." His wife goes upstairs, opens the box and thinks, "This thing is so see through that the old coot won't even notice if I'm wearing it or not." So his wife comes down, wearing nothing at all and strikes a pose. "So, how do you like it?" she says. "Damn, you'd think for $500, they'd at least iron the darn thing!" __________________________________________________ Mount Edith Cavell,Jasper National Park,AB, Canada ____________________________________________________ Thibodeaux was driving his car past Boudreaux's house and saw a sign out front that read: "Boat For Sale".

I opened the refrigerator and taped to the inside of the door was a risque picture of a lovely, slender, perfectly built, but scantily-clad young woman. "Mom, what's this?" I asked. "Oh, I put that up there to remind me not to over-eat," she answered. "Is it working?" I asked. "Yes and no," she explained. "I've lost 15 pounds, but your dad has gained 20!" _____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Janice RE: Converter Dear Webby, You used to have a great measurement converter. Do you still have it? Since you are on the decimal system, you won't need it, but we are still using feets and furlongs and dicks and elbows, and weird stuff, that does not convert by shifting the decimal point. So I need your converter again, please! And Thank You, Janice Dear Janice I use Convert.exe since about 1996. Convert It has never malfunctioned for me, is extremely fast, and has all measurement units you can think of. Yes, it still has Light-Years to Furlongs in there too. Everything is neatly sorted and easy to find. Have FUN!

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they use to. According to a recent survey, men say the first thing they notice about a woman are their eyes. And women say the first thing they notice about men is they're a bunch of liars. I'm not 40-something. I'm $39.95, plus shipping and handling. In the 1960s people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. ___________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ Every teenager should get a high school education, even if they do already know everything.

When they got to the door, Joe went straight to his wife, gave her a hug and told her how beautiful she was and how much he had missed her at work. When it was time for supper, he complimented his wife on her cooking, kissed her and told her how much he loved her. Once they were working on the deck, Bob told Joe that he was surprised that he fussed so much over his wife. Joe said that he'd started this about 6 months ago, it had revived their marriage and things couldn't be better. Bob thought he'd give it a go. When he got home, he gave his wife a massive hug, kissed her and told her that he loved her. His wife burst into tears. Bob was confused and asked why she was crying. She said, "This is the worst day of my life. First, little Billy fell off his bike and twisted his ankle. Then, the washing machine broke and flooded the basement. And now, you come home drunk!" _________________________________________________ History On Oct 11, in 1776, During the American Revolution the first naval battle of Lake Champlain was fought.
