"In the Russian army we have 2000 calories of food a day" said the Russian. "Well", said the Englishman, "In the British army we are given 4000 calories of food a day." "That's nothing", said the American, "in the US army we have 8000 calories of food a day". At this the Russian got very annoyed. "Nonsense", he said, "how could one man eat that much cabbage!!!." ___________________________________________________ EVEN GOD ENJOYS A GOOD LAUGH There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black: 1. He called everyone brother . 2. He liked Gospel. 3. He couldn't get a fair trial. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish: 1. He went into His Father's business. 2. He lived at home until he was 33. 3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian: 1. He talked with His hands. 2. He had wine with His meals. 3. He used olive oil. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian: 1. He never cut His hair. 2. He walked around barefoot all the time. 3. He started a new religion. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian: 1. He was at peace with nature. 2. He ate a lot of fish. 3. He talked about the Great Spirit. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish: 1. He never got married. 2. He was always telling stories. 3. He loved green pastures. But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman: 1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food. 2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it. 3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there still was work to do. ___________________________________________________ Russell Mascarenhas, Frank Lake, AB __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Once upon a time, a Sultan was blessed with the birth of a son after years of hoping. The boy immediately became the apple of his father's eye. Just before his son's sixth birthday, the Sultan said to him, "Son, I love you very much. Your birthday is coming soon What would you like?" His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airplane." His father bought him American Airlines. Just before his son's seventh birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you are my pride and joy. Ask what you want for your birthday. Whatever it is, it's yours." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." His father bought him the Princess Cruise Line. Just before his son's eighth birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you bring so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I shall get for you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons." His father bought him Disney Studios. Just before his son's ninth birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you are my life. Your birthday is coming soon. Ask what you wish. I will get it for you. His son, who had grown to love Disney, replied, "Daddy, I would like a Mickey Mouse outfit and a Goofy outfit." His father bought him the Democratic Party and CNN news. ____________________________________________________ A fine funeral was ordered for a woman who had henpecked her husband, driven her kids half nuts, scrapped with the neighbors at the slightest opportunity, and even made neurotics of the cat and dog with her explosive temper. As the casket was lowered into the grave, a violent thunderstorm broke, and the pastor's benediction was drowned out by a blinding flash of lightning, followed by terrific thunder. "Well," commented her husband, "sounds like SHE got told where to go." ____________________________________________________ Jeanne ___________________________________________________ The computer swallowed grandma Yes, honestly it's true. She pressed 'control' and 'enter' And disappeared from view. It devoured her completely, The thought just makes me squirm. She must have caught a virus Or been eaten by a worm. I've searched through the recycle bin And files of every kind; I've even used the Internet, But nothing did I find. In desperation, I asked Jeeves My searches to refine. The reply from him was negative, Not a thing was found 'online.' So, if inside your 'Inbox,' My Grandma you should see, Please 'Copy,''Scan' and 'Paste' her And send her back to me! This is a tribute to all the Grandmas who have been fearless and learned to use the computer. They are the greatest!!! __________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits from: Gina re: Which browser is the best? Dear Webby There are so many browsers out there now. Which one is the best of all? Which one do you use? Gina Dear Gina Whichever one you are used to. There are few real differences, and when one browser adds a new gimmick, all the others work overtime and quickly add that too. Most of them all have the same ability, they just require different methods and hot-keys. If you do a lot of text reading, for example e-books, then use the Safari browser for that. Not for everything, because it is a bit klutzy, but it has the best font rendering and is easiest on your eyes, for long text. For general all purpose goofing around, ahem Research, Chrome seems to be best, though Millions of people will disagree and say FireFox is better. In the long run, whichever browser you get comfortable with and learn all the hot-key shortcuts for, will be best FOR YOU. I know, some people treat browsers as if they were a religion, and they argue incessantly about the benefits of their chosen browser. I don't really care. Normally I use Chrome. There are some browsers, though, that you definitely should avoid: Internet Explorer: Even Microsoft tells you that it is buggy and not secure. Maxthon: Chinese clone of Internet Explorer. which lately has added many Chrome features. Microsoft EDGE: Comes standard included with W10. It sorta works, but nobody seems to like it. The kindest comment I have heard about it is that it lets you download Chrome. Have FUN!
