"No problem, sir," said the waiter. After a few minutes, the man flagged the server again. "Now I'm too warm." "All right," said the waiter. But soon the customer was chilly again. Finally a patron at a nearby table whispered to the waiter, "I commend you for your patience. That guy is sure keeping you busy." "No, he's not," the waiter said with a shrug. "We don't even have an air conditioner." __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ >From Boris April and I both spend so much time on the computers that it seems sometimes it infects every aspect of our lives.

It tore off the roof, and picked up the beds on which the farmer and his wife were sleeping. By some miracle, the cyclone set them down unharmed the next county over. The wife was sobbing uncontrollably. "Don't be scared, Mary," her husband said. "We're not hurt." Mary continued to cry. "I'm not scared," she said between sobs. "I'm happy... this is the first time in 14 years we've been out together. __________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ Dearwebby's Tech Support Pits From: Hank Re: Email server Dear Webbby; I greatly appreciate your daily Humor Letter. What Mail Server do you recommend? I have had Incredimail for years and they folded up. Thank You Sir, Hank Dear Hank For the last 25 years or so I have recommended Gmail. It is free at http://gmail.com The mail is stored "on the cloud", in those huge server farms that you probably have seen pictures of. All you carry is your user name and password. When you get to your hotel in Timbucktoo, you go to the courtesy computer in the lobby, log in to Gmail, and all your mail is waiting for you and everything configured just like at home. Sure, it takes a bit of getting used to, just like a new girlfriend. But it works well and is reliable. Have Fun!

"Maybe there's some kind of memory medicine you can give me. See, I'm getting terribly forgetful; I lose track of where I'm going or what I'm supposed to do when I get there. What should I do?" he asked glumly. "Pay me in advance," the doctor promptly suggested. ____________________________________________ A Bonehead Award Has Been Reported By Rock Crooked punks in Philadelphia USA 'These were not protesters': 15-20 looters arrested for ransacking Philadelphia retail stores Several retail stores were looted when police say a large group of people, including many juveniles, terrorized several sections of Philadelphia during an 8-hour crime spree that spilled over from Tuesday night to early Wednesday morning. Interim Commissioner John Stanford told reporters the looting began around 8 p.m. when police responded to several reports of looting at businesses. A massive police presence swarmed a stretch of Walnut Street between 15th and 18th streets. Videos posted to X, formerly called Twitter, shows retail stores like Lululemon, the Apple Store and Footlocker ravaged by what police called a "coordinated attack." FOX 29's Steve Keeley obtained video of the ransacked Apple Store with iPhones and iPads scattered across the display tables. Keeley reports that many of the stolen Apple products were left behind when the thieves realized the device's anti- theft technology rendered them inactive. Looting was also reported in North Philadelphia where thieves struck retail stores like GameStop and Walmart. SkyFOX hovered over a Family Dollar in West Philadelphia that appeared to have been pillaged by looters. Stanford estimated that the crowd of unruly crowd of looters in Center City grew to as many as 100 people. He added that between 15 and 20 people were arrested during the looting, and at least 2 firearms were recovered during the arrests. Police are investigating the possibility that there was a "caravan" of vehicles going from location-to-location to loot retail stores around the city. Some of the people believe to be involved in that suspected caravan have been arrested, Stanford said. Parts of Chestnut and Walnut streets were locked down overnight as police secured the area and "ensure the safety of both the public and property."

Police respond to reports of looting in Center City Authorities in Philadelphia responded to widespread reports of looting Tuesday night at retail stores across the city. The looting comes on the same day a Philadelphia judge dismissed charges against former police officer Mark Dial in the shooting death of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry. Stanford, however, said the looting and unrest has nothing to do with a peaceful protest to rebuke the controversial decision. "This had nothing to do with the protests," Stanford said. "What we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation to make an attempt to destroy our city." _____________________________________________________ More than anything, Bob wanted to be a cowpoke. Taking pity on him, a rancher decided to hire the lad and give him a chance. "This," he said, showing him a rope, "is a lariat. We use it to catch cows." "I see," said Bob, trying to seem knowledgeable as he examined the lariat. "And what do you use for bait?" "City slickers with shiny shoes." __________________________________________________ A motorist driving by a Texas ranch hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road. The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened. He then asked what the animal was worth. "Oh, about $200 today," said the rancher. "But in six years it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what I'm out." The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer. "Here," he said, "is the check for $900. It is postdated six years from now." _________________________________________________ History On Sept 28, In 1066, England was invaded by William the Conqueror who claimed the English throne. 1542, San Diego, CA, was discovered by Portuguese navigator Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. 1687, The Turks surrendered Athens to the Venetians. 1781, During the Revolutionary War, American forces began the siege on Yorktown, VA. 1787, The U.S. Congress voted to send the new Constitution of the United States to the state legislatures for their approval. 1789, In the U.S., the first Federal Congress passed a resolution that asked President George Washington to recommend to the nation a day of thanksgiving.
