The husband inquired if perhaps oral sex would be an acceptable substitute in the eyes of the Church. The Priest explained that it was still considered a sin and frowned upon by the church.

The children, Joseph and Havanna Shackelford, were found safe hours later in Phoenix near 7th Avenue and Buckeye Road. The twins were reportedly taken near a pharmacy at 44th Street and McDowell Road around 4 p.m. "They were inside of a white, 2003 Nissan Pathfinder, AZ/1CA6RB. When Eddie Jones got into the driver seat and stole the vehicle. Eddie is under the influence and made comments about driving to New Mexico," the department said. Jones is believed to be under the influence of alcohol, police say. Jones is reportedly the uncle of the twins. The children were found safe and have been reunited with family. Jones was taken into custody by Phoenix Police. DearWebby's tech support pits from: Anna re: Excel date Dear Webby There used to be a keyboard shortcut for writing the date and for doing a time stamp in Excel. I have long forgotten what hot keys to use for that. Do they still work? Even if you use Excel mode in Open Office? Help, please! Anna Dear Anna Yes, sure. Good hot-Keys like that won't be dropped. CTRL ; gives you the date CTRL SHIFT ; gives you a time stamp. The date and time can be pre-formatted for the entire column to show whatever format you want. They are true time stamps, that won't change if you open that sheet at a later time or date. Have FUN!

_____________________________________________ A soldier was asked to report to the camp office for assignment. The sergeant said: "We have a critical shortage of typists. I'll give you a little test. Type this," he ordered, giving him a pamphlet to copy and a sheet of paper, and pointing to a desk across the room that held a typewriter and an adding machine. The soldier, quite reluctant to become a clerk typist, made a point of typing very slowly, and saw to it that his work contained as many errors as possible. The sergeant gave the typed copy only a brief glance. "That's fine," he said. "Report for work at 8 tomorrow." "But aren't you going to check the test?" the prospective clerk asked. The sergeant grinned. "You passed the test," he replied, "when you sat down at the typewriter instead of at the adding machine." ___________________________________________ Did you know that ..... In Seattle, Washington residents may not carry concealed weapons longer than six feet. In Chicago, Illinois, according to state law, it is illegal to speak English. The officially recognized language is "American," which includes Ebonic and Hebonic. ____________________________________________ "So, your mother says your prayers for you each night? Very commendable. What does she say?" The little boy replied, "Thank Heaven he's in bed!" ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
