"My father said it'd be a good idea, sir." "Oh? And what does your father do?" "He's in the Army, sir." _____________________________________________________ Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir." Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he brusquely asked, "What do you want?" "Nothing important, sir," the airman replied, "just here to hook up your telephone." _____________________________________________________ Looks like the West end of my lake up in the Yukon.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) said 37-year-old Sammie Thomas was identified as the gunman involved in the fatal shooting of a man. The sheriff's office said on June 3, at around 3:30 p.m. deputies were dispatched to a residence along Nottingham Road, between Okeechobee Blvd. and Southern Ave. When deputies arrived, a man was discovered suffering from multiple gunshot wounds inside the residence. He was lying unresponsive on the living room floor. The 32-year-old victim was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center where he later died from his injuries, according to the arrest affidavit. The witness told detectives, at the time of the shooting, the children were inside the bedroom. However, surveillance footage unequivocally establishes; at least one of the children witnessed the entire shooting. The arrest report details what the ring camera showed. At approximately 03:27 p.m., a petrified child is seen running out of the front door of the home covering his ears after two gunshots are heard. Shortly after, a man's voice is heard saying, Stop playing bro, this is what you wanted bro." Once the young child re-enters the residence, a woman's voice utters Go in the room boy." In addition, the arrest report states, the same male voice is heard asking, Where are the keys," and He's gone man. Then Thomas took the keys belonging the witness and got into a Chevrolet Utility Vehicle and fled the scene. When the vehicle was recovered and a search warrant was issued on June 4, investigators found a black semi-automatic handgun was recovered from underneath a black hoodie on the front passenger seat. The forensic pathologist determined that three of the gunshot wounds were consistent with being shot while laying on the ground. The arrest report also noted that "the victim had a gunshot wound to the back of the head, indicative of his back being turned to the shooter." On June 5, the sheriff's office said Thomas was interviewed. However, detectives said Thomas statement was not consistent with the physical evidence at the scene, the childrens statement, the ring camera audible capture, and the autopsy results. The sheriff's office said along with a second-degree murder charge, Thomas was also charged with shooting inside an occupied dwelling in violation and aggravated child abuse. ___________________________________________________ Officer: Soldier, do you have change for a dollar? Soldier: Sure, buddy. Officer: That's no way to address an officer! Now let's try it again. Soldier: Do you have change for a dollar? Soldier: No, SIR! ___________________________________________________ In the Ozarks, there was a mountaineer that was reputed to have the best hunting dog ever, by the name of Co-pilot. Three city folks went up in the mountains and wanted to rent him. "Good huntin dog, gonna cost ya $50.00 a day." They agreed, and three days later came back with the limit. The next year they came back. "Co-pilot got better, gonna cost ya $75.00 a day." Again they agreed, and 2 days later came back with the limit. The third year they came back and told the mountaineer they had to have Co-pilot, even if it cost $100.00 a day. "You can have the worthless mutt for $5.00 a day, and I'm overcharging you $4.00." "But we don't understand, what happened to him?" "Well, a crew from that there air base in Okaloosa County Florida come up and rented him. One of them idiots called him pilot, and he's been sitting on his ass barkin ever since." _____________________________________________________ From: Lorna RE: Transfer email to a new machine Dear Webby, How do you transfer email to a new computer? Like you, I am using Eudora, and have since the early 90s. You helped me hose it over from XP to W7, but I forgot how. My dementheimers is almost as bad as Joe Who's. So, how do I do it, pretty please? Lorna Dear Lorna First dump any folders, that are obsolete, for example former lovers, politicians, etc. Dump spam and trash. Get a good size camera chip. They are making really huge ones now really cheap. Drag the entire Eudora folder onto the chip, including Eudora_6.2.5.6.exe, if you have the last of the good ones. The two nndbase files are your address book. Make sure you do not miss those! The mbx and the toc files are your mails. Then use your sneeaker net to haul the chip over to the new machine, copy it all into a new folder, make a shortcut to Eudora_6.2.5.6.exe, and run it. That is all there is to it. Have fun!
