He did so, and after several minutes he heard the watchman clomping down the stairs. The uniformed man proceeded to unlock first one gate, then another, shut down the alarm system, and then coming through the revolving door, he looked at Gus and asked, "Well, what do you want?" And Gus says, "I just want to know why you can't ring the bell for yourself. Why do I have to ring it for you ?" _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ A teacher was teaching his kids about survival in the desert. "What are the three most important things you should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?" he asked. Several hands went up, and many important things were suggested such as food, matches, etc. Then Do in the back eagerly raised a hand. "Yes, Do, what are the three most important things you would bring with you?" asked the teacher. Do replied, "A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of cards." "Why's that, Do?" the teacher asked. "Well," answered Do, "the compass is to find the right direction, the water is to prevent dehydration." "And what about the deck of cards?" asked the teacher. "Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, someone is bound to come up behind you and say, 'Put that red nine on top of that black ten'!" ______________________________________________________ Fireweed, the official flower of the Yukon _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

She was later found at her home, where she was arrested and charged with unlawful desertion of a child and resisting arrest without violence. The child was placed under the care of the Florida Department of Children and Families and appeared to be in good health. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Vi Re: Paper or e-books Dear Webby, I am planning to take a course and have a choice to get the material on paper books or on e-books. The e-book version is a lot cheaper, of course. Which version would you recommend? Vi Dear Vi I would recommen the e-book version without the slightest hesitation. With e-books you CAN print them, if you need paper. You can even print just those pages that you want, like indexes or summaries. You can also take screen captures of paragraphs or illustrations and paste those into word processor documents. With e-books you aren't just saving trees and money, you are getting a lot more value. Have FUN! DearWebby Little Johnny and his family lived in the country, and as a result seldom had guests. He was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, Little Johnny went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father who passed it to a guest. Little Johnny came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to his father, who again gave it to a guest. This was too much for Little Johnny, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Reheat Pizza in a Frying Pan By lalala... [827 Posts, 105 Comments] A great way to reheat leftover pizza is in a frying pan. Place the pizza in the frying pan over medium heat. Slices of pizza in a frying pan Cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil that is domed in the center so it doesn't stick to the cheese. Frying pan with aluminium foil It can burn quickly so check it every few minutes until it is heated through and is crispy enough for you on the bottom. The result is a crispy crust, instead of the rubbery, soggy crust you get when microwaved. ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ According to a recent survey, men say the first thing they notice about a women are their eyes. Women say the first thing they notice about men is they're a bunch of liars, and if they were noticing that women have eyes, the bra padding industry would go broke. ___________________________________________________ | | Creatures that don't live in our world. |
