He was talking to the youngsters on their level about being good and going to heaven. At the end of his talk, he asked, "Where do you want to go?"

After years of putting up with her pestering, he finally decided he had enough and advised her that he would no longer drive with her in the car. Later that day, on his way home from doing some shopping at the mall, he heard his cell phone ring, just as he was merging onto a freeway. It was Nancy. By chance, she had entered the freeway right behind George. "Honey," she said, "your turn signal is still on. And put on your lights; it's starting to rain." ____________________________________________________ Two English ladies were discussing their vacation plans on a London bus near an Irish lady. "We're planning a lovely holiday in Devon this year," said one. "Oh you oughtn't to do that," said the other, "there are Irish there! It would be awful." "Dear me!" said the first lady. "well where are you going?" "Salisbury," she replied. "But Salisbury is simply crawling with Irish!" the first lady objected. At this point the Irish lady could no longer hold her tounge. "Why don't ye go t' hell," she suggested. "There be no Irish there!" __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! _____________________________________________________ "I presume, Mrs Murphy, you carry a memento of some sort in that locket of yours?"

Casey got Riley down and was hammering him unmercifully when Riley called out several times, "Enough!" As Casey paid no attention, but kept on administering punishment, a bystander said, "Why don't you let him up? Don't you hear him say that he's had enough?" "I do," says Casey, "but he's such a liar, you can't believe him." ____________________________________________________ As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, "Anyone here know how to pray?" One man stepped forward, "Aye, Captain, I know how to pray." "Good," said the captain, "you pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets - we're one short." ____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Elsie RE: Pet Alley Dear Webby Yes, I do remember you installing a "Pet Alley" motion detector in my bedroom in the 90s and we had a good laugh about that. In those days I was "Elsa". That pup has gone over the rainbow bridge but the current one has figured it out and knows how to turn the light on by jumping straight up. I also have a cat that thinks my Roomba is a cat UBER. If it gets stuck behind a boot, she nudges it free and drags it to the re-charge nook. I remember you had to use a relay to link the motion detector to the ceiling light. Is that still the case, or have they figured out how to power big stuff on and off, like my garage door? Elsie Dear Elsie Yes, I remember you and the quite unforgettable testing fun. Just go to Home Depot and get an outdoor motion activated light and a light socket powered dual outlet. Unscrew the lightbulb, screw in the dual outlet, and plug your garage door opener into that. Have FUN DearWebby _____________________________________________________ Two Irish mothers were talking about their sons. The first said, "My Patrick is such a saint. He works hard, doesn't smoke, and he hasn't so much as looked at a woman in over two years." The other woman said, "Well, my Francis is a saint himself. Not only hasn't he not looked at a woman in over three years, but he hasn't touched a drop of liquor in all that time." "My word," the first Irish mother said. "You must be so proud." "I am," the second mother replied. "And when he's paroled next month, I'm going to throw him one heck of a big party." ____________________________________________________ Today, January 23 in 1556, An earthquake in Shanxi Province, China, was thought to have killed about 830,000 people. 1571, The Royal Exchange in London, founded by financier Thomas Gresham, was opened by Queen Elizabeth I. 1789, Georgetown College was established as the first Catholic college in the U.S. The school is in Washington, DC. 1845, The U.S. Congress decided all national elections would be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. 1849, English-born Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in America to receive medical degree.
