The results are pretty interesting. 85% of women think their ass is too big... 10% of women think their ass is too little... The other 5% say that they don't care, they love him and would have married him anyway. __________________________________________ A suburbanite tried gardening for the first time. Tomatoes sounded easy to grow, so he set his plants; tended and nurtured them carefully, and awaited his crop. By mid-summer his plants were bearing lots of large, firm fruit, but it was all green...not a hint of pink or red to be found. None of his books or manuals were any help, so he approached an old country boy at work and asked his advice. "Son," he was told, "you've got to make them blush first. At midnight, take off all your clothes, put on a raincoat, go into the garden and flash the plants. Works every time!" As insane as this suggestion seemed, the man was desperate, so he did it, and damned if the tomatoes weren't the most beautiful red the next morning! The lady next door noticed the sudden change and, having the same problem, asked the secret. After much coaxing, he offered the explanation. A few days later he saw his neighbour in her garden and asked if she had tried his technique. "Oh, yes!" she replied. "And....." he prompted. "Well," she admitted, "my tomatoes are still green, but my cucumbers are T H I S L O N G . . . .!!!" __________________________________________ A doctor told a woman to give her husband one pill a day and one drink of whiskey to improve his stamina. A month later, when she came in for another visit, the doctor asked, "How are we doing with the pill and the whiskey?" And she said, "Well, he's a little behind with the pills, but he's about six months ahead with the whiskey." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Ode To Spell Checker ----------------------- Eye halve a spelling checker It came with my pea sea It plainly marks four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

When she rang the bell, Little Johnny answered. The teacher smiled and said, "I'd like to talk to your mother or father." Little Johnny said, "Sorry, but they ain't here." "Little Johnny!" she said, "what is it with your grammar?" And Little Johnny said, "Beats me, but dad sure was mad that they had to go bail her out again!" ____________________________________________________ A reporter was interviewing a 104 year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?"

At home, you cook three square meals a day and try to get your kids to eat it. In prison you get an hour each day in the yard to exercise and mingle. At home you get to clean the yard up, so you can mow it, so your kids can spread more toys all over it, so you can go out and clean it again because little Jr. can't sleep without his latest lego creation. In prison you get to watch TV, cable even. At home you get to listen to your children fight over the remote control and get treated to hours and hours of mindless cartoons thanks to cable. In prison you can read whatever you want and attend college for free. At home you get to read weekly readers starring Dick, Jane, and Spot and worry about how to send Jr. to college and still be able to eat for the next twenty years. In prison all your medical care is free. At home you have to pawn your mother's silver and fill out trillions of papers for insurance and hope the doctor will see you before you die. In prison, if you have visitors, all you do is go to a room, sit, talk and then say "good-bye" when you are ready or your time is up. At home, if you have visitors, you get to clean for days in advance and then cook and clean up after your guests and hope that they will one day leave. In prison, the prison laundry takes care of all your dirty clothes. At home you get to take care of them yourself, plus everybody else's, and get yelled at because somebody's favorite shirt isn't clean. In prison they take you everywhere you need to go. At home you take everybody else where they need to go. In prison there are no screaming or whining children or spouses asking you to do something else for them, or screaming at you because you didn't. At home . . . stop me when I get to the downside of jail, will ya? ___________________________________________________ A woman drove a mini-van filled with a dozen screaming kids through the mall parking lot, looking for a space. Obviously frazzled, she coasted through a stop sign. "Hey, lady, have you forgotten how to stop?" yelled an irate man. She rolled down her window and said, "What makes you think these are all mine???" _________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been reported by Rock LOS ANGELES COUNTY, California, USA Man dies after stealing police car, leading officers on chase befoer jumping from moving car. A man suspected of stealing a patrol car and leading California Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed police chase through the Antelope Valley before jumping out of the moving vehicle has died. SkyFOX was live Tuesday afternoon and captured the moment the suspect jumped out of the car traveling around 70 mph, headed eastbound on the 138 Freeway. The man was rushed to the hospital, where CHP said the suspect was later pronounced dead. Prior to being taken to the hospital, an officer was spotted performing chest compressions on the suspect. The driver jumped from the moving vehicle after one of the rear tires went flat due to a spike strip, leaving him struggling to control the cruiser. The driverless cruiser wound up knocking down a power pole before coming to a stop in a grassy area next to the freeway. According to the CHP, the pursuit began sometime around 11:45 a.m. in the area of the 5 Freeway and Hasley Canyon Road. It appears the suspect was involved in a two-car collision and when CHP arrived on scene, the suspect somehow managed to jump in the patrol car and drive off. There were no reports of an officer being injured, according to the CHP. According to CHP, patrol cars are supposed to be locked with the engine running. Several assault type weapons were locked in the patrol car, and the suspect did not gain access to them, CHP stated. The deceased suspect's identity has not been released. _________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Elsie Re: Is Hand Cleaner OK for keyboards?
