It is the half fools and the half wise who are dangerous." ---Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience." --- Artie Schopenhauer _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ The drill sergeant making his morning announcements to a group of newcomers in a training camp, stated: "Today, gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good. Private Peters will be setting the pace on our morning run.' With this the platoon was overjoyed, as Private Peters was overweight and terribly slow. But then the drill sergeant finished his statement: "Now for the bad news. Private Peters will be driving me in my Jeep." ______________________________________________________` _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

From Debby Re: Garbled emails Dear DearWebby The humor letter is great Thanks! I hope you can give me a little insight as to why I receive emails that is full of useless words, just words all garbled up. Is it some kind of code or something? Some emails are the entire thing, some have just a paragraph at the end of a letter. Thanks, Debby Dear Debby Spam is for trashing, not for getting philosophical about. They are just putting crap in there to try and sneak past spam control programs, and then show their phony ads as a picture. Obviously, somebody who uses such a crooked approach is a crook, and not worth your time or money. Just trash their trash. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.

On a family vacation one summer, we crossed Wyoming and noted several historical points of interest. The children were especially interested because they enjoyed the computer game "Oregon Trail," which gives players a taste of the hardships the pioneers endured. We stopped at the famous South Pass to look at the wagon tracks still visible in the dirt. Squinting out over the desolate, wind-swept landscape, my daughter nodded and said grimly, "This is where my oxen always die." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Better Drainage in Your Plant Pots There are lot of items you can put in the bottom of your plant pot to help improve drainage: Broken dishes, walnut shells, broken clay pot shards, marbles or stones.

"Yes," she said, smirking. "It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'family jewels.'" ___________________________________________________ >From Karl A priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them. 'Come with me', said St. Peter to the taxi driver. The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St. Peter to a mansion. It had anything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an olympic size pool. 'Wow, thank you', said the taxi driver. Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rugged old shack with a bunk bed and a little old television set. 'Wait, I think you are a little mixed up', said the priest. 'Shouldn't I be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a priest, went to church every day, and preached God's word.' 'Yes, that's true. But during your sermons people slept. When that taxi driver drove, everyone prayed, and meant it.' ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

Margaret was royally peeved! She was arguing with the druggist because her favourite cure-all could not be bought without a prescription. "Look, lady.
