Good Morning, Do! Today is Tuesday, October 2 What really surprised me was that Broom Hilda made absolutely no comment in the phony Kavenaugh accusation circus. Does she too already know it will seriously backfire? When the shit hits the fan, she will be high and dry and smiling. Did anybody notice that while the Anti-American media was imitating a herd of hysterical chihuahuas outside of the fence where the cat sleeps, trying desperately to slander Kavanaugh, Trump quietly renegotiated NAFTA and even got Trudeau to sign. NAFTA is saved! Have FUN!

 In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress. --- John Adams (1735 - 1826) Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. --- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) ______________________________________________________ Lisa and Linda are walking down the street.

Figuring that he had nothing to lose, he went to the shop and presented the ticket to the pro- prietor, who reluctantly began a search for the unclaimed shoes. After ten minutes, the owner reappeared and handed back the ticket. "Well," asked the customer, "did you find the shoes?" "Yes," replied the owner, "they'll be ready Tuesday." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ "Son, I just know you'll do the right thing by this little girl," said the preacher. "You just marry her, and you'll be at the end of your troubles." So he did the right thing, and he married the girl, and about six months later when he saw the preacher again he tried to murder him. "You miserable liar!" shouted the young man. "You told me if I married her, I would be at the end of my troubles. Well, I married her, and she has made my life miserable." "That may be true, son, but you can't blame me," replied the minister. "I said you'd be at the end of your troubles, but I never said which end." ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Patrick McManus, 25, Charlotte, North Carolina  Man arrested for human trafficking w hen teen escapes to restaurant  Andre Davis said he was working at Captain D's in Charlotte, North Carolina, when a 17-year-old girl ran inside. Police said 25-year-old Patrick McManus has been arrested after he reportedly forced the teenage girl into his car and assaulted her. McManus is charged with kidnapping and human trafficking. He was following her, and my manager told him, 'No, you're not allowed in the girls' bathroom,' Davis said. Everybody was panicking. They didn't know if he had a gun. Like, it was crazy in here." Police said they were called to a motel on Reagan Drive around 4:50 p.m. Friday for a report of a 17-year-old who had been assaulted and kidnapped. Officers said the victim and suspect left before they arrived. Officers were then called to the Captain D's around 5:38 p.m. The 911 caller said a woman who had been kidnapped was inside the restaurant. Police said officers located the victim and McManus, who was arrested on the scene. "The manager grabbed cleaning supplies to act like she was cleaning the bathroom the whole time when I was on the phone with police," Davis said. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Human Trafficking Unit was brought in to investigate and found the 17-year-old victim had known McManus for less than a week. Police said the girl told them she was staying at the nearby Royal Inn, where McManus was also staying. Court documents show the teen said McManus told her he loved her, but he was physically abusive and forced her into prostitution so he could buy drugs. That's crazy, Davis said. "At a young age, that's real, that's real bad." The girl told detectives that McManus demanded she work as a prostitute to earn him money. She said when she refused, he threatened and assaulted her. She told police she lied to McManus and tried to hide, but he found her, choked her and forced her into his car while he was holding a Taser. The victim was taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. "Nobody would want that to happen to their kid, Davis said. Detectives said the teen put up a fight for more than 2 miles and attempted to jump out of the moving car. "About a minute after I got off the phone, the police (were) here, Davis said. Police said McManus was being taken to the Mecklenburg County Jail after his interview when he was able to move his handcuffed hands to the front of his body and assault the officer who was driving. Police said he spit on two officers that responded and kicked the patrol car door. McManus was eventually restrained. Police said McManus had minor injuries after the incident and was taken to Novant Health for evaluation. McManus is charged with kidnapping, human trafficking, assault on a female, assault by strangulation, assault on a government official, damage to property, two counts of malicious conduct by a prisoner, resisting and promoting prostitution. He is in jail on a $120,000 bond. 
 From Helen Re: Outgoing mystery stuff  Dear Webby, Norton keeps alerting me that WINTOOLS.EXE and IEXPLORESKINS.EXE are attempting to access the internet. They are both listed as Medium Risk. Since I don't know what they are, I have come to the master to ask if I should permanently block them or if they are useful and should be allowed. Thanks once again for you help! Helen  Dear Helen If medium risk (or any risk) stuff is trying to get from your machine out onto the Internet, then obviously your machine is infected with them. I don't use Norton because it doesn't stop stuff like that from coming in in the first place. Try running Spybot-Search&Destroy, update it to it's newest version, and see if that will find those things. To me they sound a lot more like malicious spyware than viruses, and just want to report your bra size, weight, visa numbers and stuff like that. Please let me know if Spybot-Search&Destroy catches them or if you need even bigger ammunition for that. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Thanks to Ross for this story: A Welsh farmer walking through his field, notices a man drinking out of a pond. The Welsh farmer shouted: "Paid a yfed a dwr, maer gwerthin wedi cachu un a for." This means: Don't drink the water the cows have dumped into it." The man shouts back: "I'm a Muslim, I don't understand. Please speak in English." The Welsh farmer says: "Use two hands, they hold more!"

The Ames window optical illusion. 
 ___________________________________________________ A woman was worried whether or not her dead husband made it to heaven, so she decided to try to contact his spirit by having a seance. Sure enough, after the usual mumbo-jumbo of calling to the spirits, her husband's voice was heard answering, "Hello Margaret, this is meeee..." " "Fred," she answered. "I just have to know if you're happy there in the afterlife. What's it like there?" "Ooooooh, it's much more beautiful here than I ever imagined," Fred answered. "The sky is bluer, the air is cleaner, and the pastures are much more lush and green than I ever expected. And the only thing we do all day long, are eat and sleep, eat and sleep, over and over." "Thank God, you made it to heaven," his wife cried. "Heaven?" he answered. "What heaven? I'm a buffalo in Montana." ___________________________________________________
