The dog immediately jumped up on the sofa with his muddy feet and proceeded to knock over a lamp and chew on the cushions. The outraged householder began to scold his friend, "Don't you think you should train your dog a little better?" "My dog?" exclaimed the friend, "I thought it was your dog!" ____________________________________________________ A man was bragging about his sister who disguised herself, as a man and joined the army. "But, wait a minute," said the listener, "She'll have to dress with the boys and shower with them too. Won't she?" "Sure," replied the man. "Well, won't they find out?" "And who's gonna tell?" __________________________________________________________ Psychiatrist: I see you're over a month late for your appointment. Don't you know that nervous disorders require prompt and regular attention? What's your excuse? Patient: I was just following your orders, Doc. Psychiatrist: Following my orders? What are you talking about? I gave you no such order. Patient: You told me to avoid nuts who irritate me. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ A student was heading home for the holidays. When she got to the airline counter, she presented her ticket to New York. As she gave the agent her luggage, she made the remark, "I'd like you to send my green suitcase to Hawaii, and my red suitcase to London." The confused agent said, "I'm sorry, we can't do that." "Really??? I am so relieved to hear you say that because that's exactly what you did to my luggage last year!" ___________________________________________________ On a flight to Florida, I was preparing my notes for one of the parent-education seminars I conduct as an educational psychologist. The elderly woman sitting next to me explained that she was returning to Miami after having spent two weeks visiting her six children, 18 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren in Boston. Then she inquired what I did for a living. I told her, fully expecting her to question me for free professional advice. Instead she sat back and said, "If there's anything you want to know, just ask me." __________________________________________________ Russ Mas Long Billed Curlew crossing the road to the other side. East of Vulcan, Alberta ____________________________________________________ Most people hate to parallel park. The other day, I saw this woman trying to get out of a tight parking space. She'd bump the car in front, then back-up and strike the car behind her. This went on about 2 minutes. I walked over to see if I could somehow help. My offer was declined though. She said, "Why have bumpers if you're not going to use them once in a while?" _____________________________________________________ Dearwebby's Tech Support Pits From: Jim Re: Pop Up warning in Eudora Dear Webby A good morning to you. Hope you are well and hope you know the solution to my problem. You always do, so. I just started getting this pop up when trying to send mail from my Eudora. I don't think I did anything different, did the "re-boot" thing and that didn't help. Any thoughts? I shows when checking mail also. Jim Dear Jim That has happened to me occasionally, especially when typing while somebody talks to me and I look at them instead of the screen. You got something in the ATTACH line, that is not available. Click on the SUBJECT line, tab down to the ATTACH line, and delete everything there. Most likely it is just an empty space. CTRL A while in that line selects everything, including empty spaces. Then hit DELETE, and that is gone. After that you can send mail normally. Have FUN! DearWebby ________________________________________________ >From Gord Just about all my life I belonged to the Reformed Lutheran Church. When I married my wife, I converted to her church. In order to do so, I had to attend classes. At the first session, the minister conducting the class said, "What must we do before we can expect forgiveness from God?" I replied, perhaps too quickly... "Sin?" ___________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, "What are the grounds for your divorce?" She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property." "I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?" "I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents." He said, "Do you have a real grudge?" "No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one." "Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?" "Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your question is 'yes'." "Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?" "Yes," she responded, "most days he gets up earlier than I do." Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?" "Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I never wanted a divorce. It's my husband's idea. He says he can't communicate with me." ____________________________________________ A Bonehead Award Has Been Reported By Rock Stephanie Boyd, 38, St. Louis, Missouri, USA Woman Drove With Hubby Atop Car Hood With her husband clinging to the hood of her car, a Missouri woman drove for more than seven miles--through a construction zone and across an interstate--before pulling over while being chased by police, according to court records. Investigators say that Stephanie Boyd, 38, and her 31-year-old spouse got into a verbal argument that turned physical while inside their St. Louis residence on Thursday. Boyd then got into the couples auto to leave while the victim was on the hood of the vehicle. The man apparently thought that Boyd would not drive away if he was splayed atop the car. However, Boyd left the residence with victim still on the hood of the vehicle, according to a Berkeley Police Department report. Traveling recklessly at different speeds, Boyd made her way to Interstate 70, which she sped on for 4.6 miles before exiting near St. Louis Lambert International Airport. Boyd then continued driving on local roadways. At one point, a police officer gave chase after Boyd drove past him with her spouse on the car. While the pursuing squad cars lights were flashing, Boyd drove an additional half-mile before pulling over. Boyd, seen above, was arrested and charged with domestic assault for attempting to cause serious physical injury to her husband while he was atop the car hood. She was also charged with resisting arrest for allegedly fleeing from Officer Sean Hendel in such a manner that created a substantial risk of serious physical injury or death to the victim (with whom Boyd shares a young child). A judge set bond at $100,000 cash for Boyd, who was deemed a danger to the crime victim, the community or another person. The police report notes that Boyd has active warrants in two other Missouri jurisdictions and previous arrests for domestic assault. Lets hope he smartens up and gets a divorce before she gets out of jail! ________________________________________________ At a jewelry store, a young man bought an expensive locket as a present for his girlfriend. "Don't you want her name engraved upon it?" asked the jeweler. The young man thought for a moment, and then, ever the pragmatic, steadfastly replied, "No, just engrave it: To My One And Only Love. That way, if we break up and she throws it back to me in anger, I can use it again." __________________________________________________ A father and his small son were standing in front of the tiger's cage at the zoo. Father was explaining how ferocious and strong tigers are, and junior was taking it all in with a serious expression. Dad," the boy said finally, "if the tiger got out of his cage and ate you up ..." "Yes, son?" the father said expectantly. "Which bus should I take home?" the boy finished. _________________________________________________ History On Oct 5, In 1813, Chief Tecumseh of the Shawnee Indians was killed at the Battle of Thames when American forced defeated the British and the allied Indian warriors. 1877, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians surrendered to the U.S. Army after a 1,000-mile retreat towards the Canadian border. 1919, Enzo Ferrari debuted in his first race.
