The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs portruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his head. __________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! _____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits FROM: Kath RE: Remove old card from PayPal Dear Webby How do I dump a credit card from PayPal? I forgot that I had used my AMEX card as my Faall-Back, but after I had not used that card for years after COSTCO stopped using it, I dumped it. Actually, I just forgot to call in when they sent me a new one, and then lost the new one. So now I have to dump it from PayPal. How do I do that? Kath Dear Kath You have to ADD a new card first. After that you can select EDIT cards, pick the obsolete card,and once you are in the edit mode, you see the option for deleting it.

The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket which was pulled to the top by several monks who pulled and tugged with all their strength. Obviously, the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying. One tourist got exceedingly nervous about half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was suspended was old and frayed. With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding with him in the basket how often they changed the rope. The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, "Usually right after it breaks." ____________________________________________________ Today, January 3 in 1496, References in Leonardo da Vinci notebooks suggested that he tested his flying machine.
